RIM BlackBerry Curve 9315 Review
Share:
Call Quality:
Putting out a reasonable output with its earpiece, we’re able to comprehend voices relatively well – with minimal distortion. On the other end of the line, though, our callers say that there’s a hint of hollowness with our voice. Meanwhile, the speakerphone emits some crackle at the loudest setting.
Battery:
With nothing more than a 1,450 mAh battery, it’s enough to get us through a solid day of normal usage – though, we were kind of hoping for a little bit more.
Conclusion:
In the greater scheme of things, $50 might seem like a dandy deal for the Curve 9315, but when the platform experience is outdated, combined with the handset’s cheap feel, it doesn’t make it a prized possession against other comparable smartphones. At this point folks, unless you’re firmly in love with the old platform, you’re better off waiting for RIM’s next-generation BlackBerry OS 10 devices. And honestly, even though it’s an aged device, you’re still better investing your money in something else like the Bold 9900.
Software version of the reviewed unit: v7.1.0.838

Wish theyd pull out the stops for what may be there last Blackberry pre BB10- just for the few remaining die hards, but either way this phone should not be bought. Too many other good options.

Agree. Also the phones with small screen are mostly good just for the phone calls.
