Rating  - This is a great phone all around.
Buy it you will not be disappointed. The best phone ever. As for those who think the small keyboard has almost caused them an automobile accident, you should know better. It's not the phone, it's the driver and besides you should not be calling and driving at the same time. Holds a charge forever and works flawlessly.
Rating  - Looks smart and great to have. Works good with data plan, as it has no wireless feature.
BB Curve 8310 is good to have and works well with data plan. It would be good if it has wireless feature also.
Rating  - Too little...
I bought this phone for present.
The lightess is perfect. The only thing, if you have perfect eye sight, this phone perfectly fine. But if you buy it for someone like my husband, who has bad eye, ha....ha..sorry hubby....the keyboard is too too small. Now, he switched back to his old Nokia N76.
For blackberry, I just keep it for charm, because is free anyway with two year contract.
Rating - OS needs redevelopment
Aside from the problems that numerous other reviewers have already noted (such as the slow 2.5G browsing speed), the operating system needs to be upgraded. Password fields are truncated (compared to how they would appear on a typical full-size laptop), which may be one reason why the device doesn't seem to be fully interoperable with the some of the mobile platforms found on the Web (Google Mobile, MSN Mobile, etc.). You certainly can't beat the price, though (a penny). I guess we had better enjoy free technology while we can, as many states may follow the lead of New York and California by introducing state legislation requiring online retailers to collect taxes in their states even if the e-commerce portal lacks a physical presence in those states (which would raise the total price charged to the consumer, with tax included).
Rating - Great phone, and lost of nice features but net service too much!
I got this phone a little over a month ago and have since had much time to play with it, learn it, and so on.
Pros:
Full qwerty keyboard makes for very easy typing for me to get things out as fast as possible. I have big fingures and this works pretty good for me.
Easy navigation: it's so easy to move from one program to the next and you can creat folders and more to organize the programs for how you want things to be
Right size: it's not too small and not too big.
Voice recognition: I recently started using this with my BT headset (H681) and wow, this makes things so easy, no pre programing like older system used to require. I can access just say what I want it to do and it does it. Sometimes it doesn't fully recognize what I said but a restating normally fixes that.
Camera: better than average quality as far as phone cameras go, but could be a lot better in my opinion. It'll do though for the time being until I decided to get a different phone.
Web: The browser does a great job of displaying full internet pages and you can switch from mobile style to Desktop style with a mouse cursor (needed for some pages). I like how you can easily select text and copy to the note pad or whatever else is needed. The browser is definatley setup well.
Cons:
Screen size: could be a little higher resolution/larger The could have definately taken up a little more space with the screen. yeah there isn't a whole lot of space to do so, but every little bit counts and it seems like they could have done a little better with this.
The ringer volumes: You only have 3 levels to choose from, low-medium-high. Granted the High is quite loud but the low isn't really that low at all. It's still kind of loud in my opinion. It would have been nice to just give levels like most other phones were you can have a nice rather low volume especially when you might be in a meeting or a library were you don't want a loud ringer at all. You can do it to the volume of the caller and such so why not the ringers.
Trankball sensitivity: ( yeah you can adjust it to be really sensative or not, there are like 10 different setting but it seems that when you get to the more sensative side it is a major difference in how fast the selection moves instead of being milder changes. Seems like they dropped the ball on that aspect.
Headset Jack: Not happy with the 3.5mm 4 contact jack at all. You can't just go out and get a headset to have voice conversations with people via a wired headset (99% of these headsets are 2.5mm 3 contact jacks. It would have been nice if a 3.5mm 4 contact - 2.5mm 3 contact adapter would have been included or atleast more accessible. No one seems to carry them at all anywere locally, can only get them online and then you have to be sure it's not and adapter to go to your car stereo.
Included headset: it's extremely uncomfortable in my ears, the ear pieces are huge! they bairly fit in my ears, I feel sorry for most women or other men who have smaller ears trying to use this headset.
Now on to the service comment made in the title:
AT&T currently charges 30 dollars a month for interent service with the BlackBerry phones (it's required if you get this phone). But then you have phones like the Iphone (though the same carrier!) and internet service is only 20 bucks a month. I'm getting ripped a new one for the next 2 years it seems, I could have just paid they extra money to get an Iphone and then saved that much in service costs over the next couple years! I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS! I wish I would have found that out only 30 days ago when I ordered this phone.
