BlackBerry Curve 8300 series

I've had my phone 3 days, today it 8/27/09.I've had problems every single day. It will not stay on, it re-cycles by itself. I have been unable to talk for more than 30 seconds without it re-cycling. I'm… very disappointed and plan to return it tomorrow. Tech help? No tech help! Take out the battery. Did that goob! Doesn't help! Turn it off for a minute... Nothing helps. I've never had a problem with a phone before this. I THOUGHT I was getting a dependable phone. I now know it's just a piece of JUNK!

I like the Blackberry Curve 8310, switched from touchscreen Treo, which I REALLY liked. Blackberry Curve 8310 -good keypad that is actually useful - able to type on -size and weight is… good -applications work really well with this phone - twitter, fbook, google -screen is very good for applications and viewing web -like the rollerball, but think it wears out to quickly -battery seems to die the older the phone gets -exceptionally durable - I'm a phone "destroyer" -photo capability is hopeful for next version, but not quite as good as Treo (Treo had video) -photo applications tend to become inoperable with other apps. -Use for work email and personal email - both

My 8310 has been very reliable and can do everything; and now with the recent software update, it can even do video, not just watch, but take video! Its a great phone, calendar, phone, mp3 player,… internet, gps, news center, voice notes, AIM, voice dialing,etc. No regrets, maybe they can make a battery that can handle 24 usage, but this is pretty good, just keep a home, work and car charger ready; cuz you'll never turn it off. (oh year, it can power down on a schedule too!)

I love this phone - I can see why people call it Crackberry. I have small hands, so the buttons are just right for me. It took a small amount of time for me to get used to the trackwheel, but I quickly… found that I could adjust it's sensitivity. I just wish that the phone came with a belt clip attatched to the leather phone sleeve that comes with it. I enjoy how you can customize the rings and get quick checks on your email. On last thing that I love: how quickly the phone turns on and off. The weight is fine, as is the way it fits in my hands. All around, I love this phone and having it for a few years will not be a problem for me.
