Ok, ok, ok.....I know I said I loved my Blackberry Pearl, but come on.......now we have the diamond out of the ruff - The Curve. Oh man, I do love this piece of Blackberry Heaven!

I purchased a Blackberry Curve 8320 to replace my 8700.  I was excited about the extra features.  I have noticed that my phone turns the antennae off sporadically and sometimes will turn off randomly while I am on a call.  There is no rhyme or reason to this and after searching online forums, I have...

Excellent Phone for the Price

The Blackberry Curve is an excellent phone for the price.  When purchased, January of 08, the price was $99 after a mail in rebate.  I have AT&T service which is excellent with the phone.  Email and texting are easy with the full keyboard and the web feature is just as easy as the Treo.  The coolest feature is that the phone has "Telenav" gps mapping.  It has saved me on many travels, even one when the Garmin gps in my rental broke down.  I would say the only unexpected if you are new to these multi use phones is be prepared to dish out $20-$40 per month for the data plan that you need with... read full review »

I recently upgraded to the Blackberry 8320 when my wife and I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile, and I'm a big fan of this device. The list price of the 8320 is not cheap, but we got a sweet deal for switching providers (AT&T was gouging us pretty badly, but that's another review entirely).

This Blackberry has a metallic finish (cutomizable for a little extra $), the smallest and lightest smartphone ever to come with a full QWERTY keyboard, which makes texting much, much easier. Among the other features are email and text messaging, instant messaging, web browser, camera, media player, Wi-Fi capabilities,...

I Used to Think Blackberry Users Were Posers Until I Got One

AUG

2008

I used to think people who spent hours on their Blackberry were posers trying to look so important with all their voicemails and emails and text messages.  That was until I got my Blackberry 8320.  Maybe I'm the poser now but I don't know how I ever got along without it.  I no longer come back to the office to face 150 emails and 20 voicemails.  Now I am able to handle them right away.  My clients are surprised at how efficient I have become responding within an hour as opposed to the next day.  The time I used to spend just sitting and waiting for my doctor, dentist, etc. is now more effectively...

At first, was a little intimidating.  I am a big fan and long time user of Nokia phones, the most recent is 660.  I used that and a palm.  after much research, i decided to give the curve a shot.  The instructions booklet was surprising slim, really just the basics.  However the basic setup was surprisingly easy.  Was on the net and receiving email within a very short time. The keyboard is very small and the usual problems for a leftie, but got use to it.  Not crazy about the carrier ( AT&T), which has a more expensive data plan than previous carrier T-mobile, however they did not have... read full review »

Interesting device
somewhat tech savvy

The blackberry curve 8320 is really cool, but unless you read the directions, it isn't easy to use.  Usually I can figure out a technical device by just playing with it, but this is requiring a bit more than that.  I was able to get on hotmail once from the internet screen and now I can't.  It's really strange.  I guess I'll just have to keep playing with it and reading about it.

I have a had many phones before this but was looking for something to keep me organized and a phone I could customize to suit my needs. This really fits the bill. The Blackberry Curve  is the best phone I have ever had. I have no interest in getting the I Phone now. I email from my phone, am able to include pics, set timers, mark calendar, listen to music, watch video and play games. I have a lot of electronic gadgets but with this phone there is no need for them. You can increase memory with a card and can save tons of pics, video and music. the camera takes surprisingly good pics and includes... read full review »

I love it! It's a really great product. I use it all the time. My friends and family love it too. Everyone should get one. I got it just recently and can't put it down. I've gotten several of my friends to get one and they all love it too.  I'm glad I got one.

     The BlackBerry Curve 8320 is T-Mobile's version of the Blackberry Curve. It stays true to BlackBerry tradition and is just GREAT at emailing. This phone is great at everything. Be it web browsing or texting, the BlackBerry Curve 8320 can do it.

     This phone comes in 2 colors: Sunset Red/Orange and Titanium Gray. It looks appealing and feels great in one's hand. It is very lightweight (only 3.9 ounces!). It is 2.4 x 4.2 x 0.6 inches, making it very comfortable to hold and easy to fit in your pocket. The front has a big 320 x 240 screen, a trackball for navigation,...

The Blackberry Curve 8320 is a phone that makes life easier. You can check your e-mail wherever you may be, and you can use the GPS if you are lost or are trying to find a particular store. I don't even use my laptop anymore! When we need to find a movie listing I just look it up on my Blackberry Curve in less than a minute. The battery life is excellent and lasts all day and the next day even though I talk for hours at a time. If you like to text friends and family this is the phone for you because the Qwerty keyboard is great for quick texting and sending pictures with texts. also the picture... read full review »

I had my old cell phone for years and years so switching to a Blackberry or any smartphone was a big step for me. The Blackberry Curve is a great option because of its Wi-Fi capability (with the unlimited data plan you wouldn't need this but if your phone provider didn't require you to have data with your phone, Wi-Fi is a nice option to use instead).

I love how I can sync the Blackberry Curve 8320 with Outlook on my computer at work and at home. My current PDA only allows you to sync to one computer, but through my Blackberry I am able to have all three devices in sync.

There is a little bit of... read full review »

I received my Blackberry Curve 8320 to use for work, but it has been great for both work and personal use.  I had a month long trip to Italy and it worked perfectly for email, internet, and map service.  I use it on a daily basis for the internet.  I am able to check personal sites, do research, and visit many sites.  There are a number of sites, however, which require javascript and I have no idea how to make that work on the blackberry.  I also have downloaded free games.  It is a great source of entertainment.  I sometimes even use it for work.  I am able to send and receive emails. ...
