I love this phone!  It does everything I could ever need to do in one day.  Great quality for amount of money I paid!  Very satisfied!  When I first go the phone I wasn't sure if it would be what I wanted.  It turned out that it was everything I wanted and more.  The… read full review »

This is my first experience with a smart phone. I was primarily interested in its ability to synchronize the address book and calendar with my computer. Having been an iPod user for years I was disappointed to discover that synchronizing is not as simple as with an iPod. I also rarely use the mp3… read full review »

This is a great phone. It has everything you need. If you are always on the go, this is great. Allows you to receive all your emails as well as know where you are or if you get lost you can use the GPS on the phone. — — The Good:Technology: The Blackberry curve 8300 works with global GSM frequencies , a convenient feature for overseas travelers. (Note that additional roaming charges from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7) — Talk Time: 240 minutes of talking time. It is good enough! (score: 16/20) — Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 408 hours. It is very… read full review »

I like the blackberry curve.  I have not tinker with all the features.  Those features that I have used I enjoy.  One thing I have not been able to find an answer to:  I marked a reocurring calendar entry as private and I have not found a way to remove the mark because I no longer want it private, but to reocurr.  Plus, I do not get a reminder notification for a private entry, that is why I want to remove the mark. —  I need to purchase a media card before I can get the music download.  I was not aware of that when I purchased the phone.… read full review »

The Blackberry Curve finally arrived at Verizon, and I bought one the first day it was offered.  After owning literally dozens of phones/PDAs in the past, I have finally found the best.  The interface is simple, the battery life astounding, and best of all, it just works. My last phone was the Motorola Q, and it was horrible.  It kept rebooting all the time, and took 15 minutes to boot and find our corporate Exchange server.  The Curve is rock-solid, and takes 4 seconds to boot and be ready for e-mail.  (I have timed it several times because I was so… read full review »

I purchased the BlackBerry Curve in June of 07, and I don't know how I went so long without a phone like this! It's just the right size for me (compared to the Treo), I have square tip nails so typing is a breeze. Being able to access the internet at anytime is a huge plus. The phone itself came with a decent selection of ringtones and backgrounds, so you're not stuck listening to a ringtone that doesn't fit your style. Even the littlest applications like Memopad or Tasks have proven to be helpful in some situations. I'll be with this phone for a while.… read full review »

Umm so i really dont get the point of having this contraption. I am not savvy at technological advances but for god sake it took me three days to read the first paragraph in the owners manuel. I know that most of the time on a new gadget it is trial by error, that you have to play with it in order to figure it out but man did i have a hard time. I dont think this phone is worht the 300 that i paid for it. The telenav is always broken, and it freezes all the time thanks to it being a computer! I say major thumbs… read full review »

The Blackberry Curve allows me to access my email when I'm away from my office. That's key for me, as a consultant. I also use the calendar and the address book extensively. Have had it for about 6 months with no problems. Some people complain aobout the size of the buttons but I've gotten used to them. The only compaint I have is that I can't search the calendar (am I missing something?). I download to Outlook and search from… read full review »

I love my blackberry. It has the full keyboard and I could not live without it. I run a business and it so important to me to get back to my customers ASAP and I can do this with my blackberry. I get my emails faster on it than I do my pc. I do wish it was not so bulky but I assume for the purpose of what it does the size cannot change. It is very easy to use and I have not had any issues with it.… read full review »

This is a great little phone.  It's very easy to use and fits well in your hand.  I looked at other PDA type phones, and this one was the best available.  It is sleek, light weight, and practical.  I use it primarily for work.  The phone makes it a little too easy to check email.  It gets addictive and very distracting. … read full review »

Incredible phone. I just got it because I got a new job that I have to drive to client's homes late day, so when it's dark I get lost. The GPS is a life saver. I also love music, so the mp3 player and ability to use it for wifi is awesome. I am on the phone a lot so this helps. Oh the camera is very nice as… read full review »
