RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 Reviews

21. Better then the Treo

I was a Treo user, went through 4 of them in one year due to there very faulty design...lock ups, missing phone calls, ect...Since I have been on the Blackberry Curve, it has been great. my only negative remark is that you can not sync emails unless you have a BES. There are some great software for this and I have a custom main Screen I made through Pazmic. Some people want Wi-Fi but I am not sure why, as long as you have the unlimited wireless service. Since Desktop manager 4.5 you can do the Bluetooth Sync, which is great. Would love to try the BlackBerry Bold but, I know Verizon...it will be awhile...Thumbs up HERE !!!!

This phone is so unbelievable., super fast with navigation, and internet download. scroll wheel is awsome.
I only have one hand and this pda phone is by far the easiest I have ever used.
The message center is my favorite feature compared to other pda phones I have had. No need to sign in all the time, you r messages from all your email or text messeges are one click away.

23. Blackberry does it again!

With every new release from BB i find the company improving on their last model. This is very refreshing considering that companies like Motorola just dish out the same old, out dated, phones quarter after quarter.

The curve is perfect for men with big hands (like me). I have no problem what so ever typing on this unit. Its full of awesome features and it does just about everything. The only draw back i found with this unit is the volume of the ear piece. It was a little low at times and i would have to ask the person to repeat themselves.

Over all, this unit is awesome and i would get this over any other PDA!

finally...the phone came in the mailbox. even with the 2 week-early shipping, it wasnt worth buying. i unboxed the phone and then i saw that the screen was cracked open to the navigation key. the back of the phone was stained and burnt. i contacted the owner, but he already deleted his ebay account. i paid $130.00 for nothing. tho i did get a new curve
:)
it's amazing. this time i bought it from verizon. its got full html browsing, ev-do support. blackberry layout. its sick.
buy it cause you wont wanna sell it

25. Total Package!

I just received my 8330 and it's great! I can check sports ,weather, and politics in just a few minutes. I love the Sprint TV feature. I purchased the everything plan through Sprint, so that puts my mind at ease. This is my 1st smartphone, but I did plenty of research. I like the keyboard as opposed to the touch-screen of the other phones. The track-ball is neat also. A must buy! Shop around and find a good deal.

27. First BB Owner

This is my first BlackBerry. At first I didn't really like it because I wasn't use to seeing so many icons on one screen. But then I got used to it and now I'm addicted. You can go to www.crackberry.com and find out so many cool apps such as weather eye, twitterberry, google maps, and much more. An overall quality of the phone is great. I say that it is an Iphone killer excluding the fact that iphone has the best web browsing. But no regrets here.

This is a great phone! It did take a while to come to VZW but I will say it was well worth the wait. Everything is great! Mobile IM and Navigator really add to it. Internet is blazing fast! Just a lot of fun! Looks pretty good and the phone part (wow it is a phone?) is outstanding clear and solid reception out here in the desert!

29. Not what I'd expected

29 May 2008 by Doctor

I am coming from Treo 700p and needed a smart phone with e-mail, calendar and large volume contact list support from Outlook.
BB Curve seemed like a nice alternative to Palm. After I received the phone (ordered through telesale), I found out that phone shell is not durable at all. It is not that I am planning to drop the phone but I would expect better quality materials than one used on Curve. It is made of very cheap thin plastic than gives way as you hold the phone in your palm.
Features wise this phone has everything that I need but coming from touch screen, I defiantly noticed a difference.
Sound quality was good (just like my Treo); however, signal strength was constantly reporting one bar below what Treo did.
Web surfing was in par with Treo, fast enough for me to retrieve daily news, weather, and a quick search on Google.
I won't say that Curve is a bad phone, but it is not what I had expected from it (hardware quality wise). I am sending it back and drafting Treo back to service.
Unfortunately, Verizon smart phone's lineup is poor and everyone of them has one sort of cons or another that makes me stay away from it. Until I will see something more durable and feature reach, I will be staying with Treo. I just hope that it will last for me long enough while I am waiting for that "perfect phone".

30. Fantastic Phone

I've had the Curve for about a week now and just love it. It's exactly what I've been looking to get. I had the Touch (xv6900) for a month and took it back because of the lack of a keyboard. Tried the Curve out and am keeping it for sure. The size is great. The keyboard is easy to use, and I love many features the phone has to offer. There's much more on it that I'm looking forward to playing with. I would high recommed this phone. Love it....Love it....Love it.....
