  • Wow.... completely forgot I made this video! I've actually gone through two Blackberries since this one. I upgraded after two years with the Curve 8330 to the new(er) Curve, pure junk. On new years it literally overheated and killed itself. Got a replacement phone from a friend of mine, the BB Tour, lost it/it was stolen after a week of having it. Went back to the old Curve (the one in this video) and after a few months, I spilled soda on the keyboard and it's now a paperweight. iPhone 5 time!

  • Hey, how do u get ur main screen options to be shown on the left side..? i have them all on the bottom?

  • @DanceForeverr1 it should be a theme option in your phones settings. Some of the new BB's don't come with this setting I don't think - honestly, I'm tired of Blackberry. When I did this review the phone was new and solid, now their phones are garbage. I'm going for the new iPhone when it comes out, that should be fun.

  • Haha thanks! I actually just gave up the blackberry curve, l had the same phone for 2 years and although it was great, I decided to get something else. I bought the HTC Eris because I was tired of waiting for the Nexus One, so I bought this and its wonderful.

  • @WeekendWarrior1210 hey man, i have a question... like the guy posted below, do u really have to pay a monthly fee if u have a blackberry rather than anyother phone? if so... how much do u have to pay?

  • you have o pay the monthly fee for the blackberry curve? what about the tour? do you have to pay the monthly fee for the blackberry tour too? and if yes, how much do you think one monthly phone fee would cost for the tour phone ?

  • yes 30 dollars on top of your wireless plan with verizon as your carrier

  • BB is my favorite phone

  • You MUST pay the monthly fee in order to have a BlackBerry. As far as I know, there is no getting around it.

  • yea the fee is basically for the internet its not that much though

  • i bought one at a yard sale so what should i do D:

  • i want to get this phone but my dad wont get me internet on a phone so do you have to have internet to have this phone cuz some do.

  • instead of down loading it just go to photobucket on your phone and his save image as for your backgrounf

  • bad lighting... & not in HD...but thx anyway

  • The black one activates voice commands. Just thought I'd let you know

  • Ohh u made me sure i want the blackberry in verizon but one quesion, Those it come with aim????

  • Actually, It comes with a messenger that you can sign into like: MSN, AIM, YAHOO, and other things too.

  • BTW im a 15 year old kid and I am getting a blackberry

  • I'm 14 and I'm gettin mine tomorrow lol.

  • No it's not... I've actually had one for like a week before. My aunts. It's a good phone, If you like smartphones.

  • what!

  • Hey does the Basic blackberry Data Plan allow live TV streaming from any where?

  • five minutes in, and you've said nothing helpful. try to be a bit more direct.

  • i love my blackberry curve i have verizon and mine is pink. did you know that if your in your inbox and if you hit b you will go to the bottom of the inbox if you hit t it goes to the top :)

  • Yep, you can do this in the internet browser to; pretty awesome.

  • great but wheres the HD version?

  • WEEELLLLLL I failed at the HD, ok?!?!!

  • I have a question. I'm about to get this phone, i think.

    anyways, can you change the background to a picture of your choice ?

    thankss :)

  • yes u can :) u can change it to a picture u took or a pic u bought :)

  • LOL of course you can change the background to a picture you'd like.

  • dnt u have one?

  • ugh i want one =[

  • yeahh i want one too. looks sooo cool.

  • It is cool, and when you begin to stumble upon/install new applications and settings, you begin to love it even more. This reinforces that special you get when you first get the phone, the same feeling that seems to ware off with almost everything else.

  • how much is it totl for unlimited texting internet email aim ? if you know.....

  • Unlimited texting is $10 a month for me. AIM I believe is coupled with the monthly cost of the blackberry service.

  • Editing Part 2 is proving to be quite the pain the ass, hang tight peeps its on its way.

  • im getting this phone :]

  • So about ringtones- I have made all of mine online and then have just sent the ringtone to my phone through my e-mail address. Will this work with the Blackberry? Also, can you set different types of alerts for different people when they text you?

  • Fear, it should work, yes. Its funny you mention that, I had sent my phone via e-mail a bunch of songs but the messaged was "truncated" due to size, so I couldnt download anything. As for different types of alerts for different people, yes I am pretty sure you can. I don't have my phone right now, I left it in my truck which is in the shop!!!!

  • wat kind of internet connecting do u need to get the internet to work. does it come with internet ready or do u have to have a wireless router.

  • its 3G, so internet works everywhere there is cell phone service!

  • do you have to pay for the internet and email?

  • kk ty and ya do u have to pay for the internet

  • Yes you have to pay for internet and e-mail. This phone (the verizon version) does not have WiFi, but in some ways WiFi is somewhat useless because you are paying for the internet already and reception is pretty good.

  • ok thank you so much. to get the internet do u have to have a plan where u can get it for free and is it called web browsing. how much would u have to pay if u didnt have it in ur plan

  • I have a plan where I do get internet, however the internet and e-mail are what I am paying for and aren't exactly free. I pay around $30.00 a month.

  • o ok ty

  • THe $30.00 a month is the basic data plan with verizon. Cant have a blackberry without purchasing the data plan monthly.

  • my dad is currently with t mobile and our 2 yr contract ends in december. i really want a blackberry from verizon but he said i have to wait till the plan is up and i cant wait that long. Should i really wait until the plan is over then switch to verizon.

  • I'm 15 and I can't live without mine. (:

  • does this phone have aim?

  • Hello. I was wondering if this phone VZN BB Curve 8330 can be unlocked. I am going to France next month and need to know if I will be able to use it there. Thx!

  • What Is That Lonley Black/White On On The Left Of The Keyboard?

    LOL

  • you can have real ones, but theyre not free. u have to bluetooth them from some one elses phone, or buy them. then you can set it as your ringtone/text alert.

  • Can you have real ringtones on this or only the polyphonic ones?

  • whats the name of the song at the end of the clip?

  • Quantic - Time Is The Enemy

  • Is the Facebook application free to buy and use?

  • Free to Buy (?) Yep its free, and totally free to use. And it actually works really well.

  • Sweet, I'm really tempted to buy this phone when I can upgrade with Verizon.

    I figured it would be considered Internet.

    Do you need a data plan?

  • for verizon it's required :/

    sprint is cheaper and includes everything

  • Darn, I didn't think it wasn't optional.

    ha.

    Oh well.

    I still have like, until the beginning of may.

  • how did u get the theme

  • u can download themes or get the defaulted themes

  • Yes you can download themes if you want. The one in the video came with the phone (aka default)

  • WHERE IS THE 2nd VIDEO YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO POST?????

    wtffffffff

  • I'm in college give me some time! Its coming soon!

  • FASTER!!!! :)

  • Damn that was a quick reply (thanks to a BlackBerry?)

  • maybe.....!

  • I've been lookin at the Curve for awhile, and i think i will be gettin it soon... Just had a few questions for u.. Can u set ringtones for txt messages? And if i have the Unlimited IN txt and 1500 out of network all i have to do is keep that and get the $30 Blackberry service? thanks

  • Yes you can set ringtones for text messages. Yes, that is all you have to do.

  • i have the voyager now and i have the premium plan so i already have internet and email included do i still have to pay the 25$? and i really want to get this phone it lookd awesome

  • Yes you will-but if you pay for email and internet for the voyager then they will not make you pay for that on TOP of the BlackBerry service. The phone is awesome!

  • does it have a memory card slot?

  • It has a micro-sd card slot behind the battery.

  • BEST VIDEO YET!!! Really great job on the video considering you used your mac. By the way, i have an iphone, and i liked it at first, but im getting bored of it. It has terrible texting, and i text a lot. I noticed you talk about the monthly bill. You said $30 a month!! My bill is at least $70 a month and i dont have unlimited or free texting!! (JEALOUS)

  • YES $30 for unlimited + $10 for unlimited text.

    BLACKBERRY ALL THE WAY!!!!

  • I had mine for about 3 months and the other day my dog got ahold of it and chewed it all up and i'm getting my new one tomorrow. Only thing i don't like about this phone is i have to clean the screen ever so often.

  • i am going to update this weekend i am not sure if to get this phone, dare or the voyager. what do you think i should get?

  • I wouldnt bother with a dare or voyager. Blackberry all the way.

  • how much more are you paying ? and from my understanding your paying more for unlimited txts, emails, and web browsing?

  • I am paying more for unlimited texts, yes. But the monthly $25.00 for the blackberry service gets me unlimited email and internet.

  • hi i wanna get this phone in pink for verizon is it good for teens and is good at texting like will i like it and everythingg??

  • Good for teens? I doubt it. This is a serious phone, it's not to be taken lightly, especially when you are paying more ON TOP of your bill each month. Good luck

  • HELP!!! Im on us cellular and i want a texting fone but not the ux260(rumor) but im not sure i want to pay 150 bucks for this fone

  • Well that's just a choice you will have to make, can't help you there man!

  • Hey everyone, if you've got questions it is best to just send me a message, this way I can get it on my phone and answer back asap.

    So, if you've asked a question and I haven't answered, don't hesitate to send me a message.

  • hey do u have a shirt that sayz weekend warrior and it's like a football style shirt. in black with rainbow riting?!?!? cus like i have that shirt...!

  • No, but that would be awesome. I didn't know I had fans ;)

  • is this phone loud when you have head phones plugged in anf not plugged in or is decent

  • Yep, quite loud.

  • great vid

    where did you get that theme from?

  • lol, the theme came with the phone, nothing special.

  • I'm due for an upgrade for christmas, and im actually leaning towards this against the storm. The storm really disappointed me with its text input, is it is VERY poor...and that's really all I do. There is also a great storm theme out for the curve, and it looks quite impressive.

  • Absolutely, the storm (although I havent tried it) probably has a shitty text input because of the touch screen, there is just no getting around it. As for the curve, it provides the perfect balance of form and function.

  • looks very nice recently got the nv 2 i want this it isnt like the other verizon phones due to the layout

  • I'm gonna get part two up here soon!

  • The aim program is pretty cool, although I've had problems with it because it is third party software. I am sure their are better ones out there though.

  • Nice review,im gettin this phone once they get some in stock (damn MTS), but is it really necessary to do what 1000's of people do....

  • What do you mean by "Is it really necessary to do what 1000's of people do..."?

  • allrite thanks

    another question in the store on every curve the volume rocker doesnt do anything is that a setting ?

  • The volume rocker I found is only useful when listening to music (3.5mm jack!) and when on a call, you can adjust the volume. You have to go into the phone to adjust the vibrate/settings and stuff, although you could probably set a shortcut key if it bothers you.

  • hey WeekendWarrior, i see that u posted this video over the summer, so how is the phone holding up? Do you still like it as much as when u first got it? Oh...and can u download AIM?

  • The phones is AWESOME so far. I like it more and more everyday, it never gets boring or old. It is just the best phone ever, I love it. I've named it and everything. You can download AIM programs, but not the AOL version, or so I think. What I mean is there are programs out there that you can use to log into your AIM account, but the programs arent directly form AOL. Good luck.

  • cool! thanks for the reply!

  • i got two questions..

    can you use windows media player music like wma format? because i have the enV and i can use wma format music which i find amazing, and can you use pictures from your micro sd too set as your wallpaper? please reply im debating on getting this phone

  • I believe you can, yes. Yes you can set the pics from the SD card as wallpapers.

  • how do you change the icons from the bottom to the side like yours?

  • This is just a menu option built right into the phone, I think it is the Zen theme.

  • can you set it up so you can use your own email that you already have or do you have to get a whole new one for the phone?

    also would it be worth it to get this over the storm or the dare? im not to sure a touch screen would be easy enough to text and email, even when you get used to it. but they are the new phones and curve has been around and yeah thats the only thing stopping me.

  • Of course you can use your old emails. You can use any email you want. I currently have 5 new and old emails connected to it. I've never used the dare (heard it sucks) and the touch BB would piss me off, I hate touch screens. Forget whats new, buy whats better.

  • can you send picture messages??

  • Picture messages, yes I believe so.

  • Can you block the internet on the phone?

  • Block the internet on the phone? Why would you want to?

  • the menu style on your home screen is different from normal usually on the bottom how did u do that?

  • It's just an option on the phone, nothing special. I think its called Zen.

  • So we cant get that phone without internet?

  • Nope, no phone without internet.

  • i was going to get curve but they said i had to pay 30 bucks for internet so i couldnt get it and im bummed. =( and now if i wanna buy it its gonna be 600 dollars

  • i went to verizon store and they said we HAVE to pay 30 bucks a month no matter what so yeah..

    do you think i should get the light pink one or the black/silver one?

    im a girl ...but im not that girly so i don't know lol

  • Well the Pink one is really really girly. Silver is perfect for both men and women, I think. So then forget the Pink one, get Silver. Pink to me just means ultra daddies girl.

  • lol ultra daddy's girl..nice ha ha

    thanks for the suggestion

    i will get silver yayyy! :)

    thanks for posting this

  • MAKE PART 2 im getting this phone because u make it look amazing please make part 2 and how to get the back round thanks man

  • Part 2 is coming!

  • when you use the browser, does it take up a lot of battery power?

  • The browser actually is not that bad. You can use it for a while, and still have battery for the rest of the day. I usually charge the phone every other night, and thats after steady use throughout the day.

  • just wondering, can you email via bluetooth, or does it have wifi

  • Nope, the Verizon BB Curve doesn't have WiFi, but you do not need it. E-Mail is sent over Verizons Wireless Network, so bluetooth and wifi have nothing to do with it. Let me know if you need more help on this.

  • dude i love you..your funny lol it sounds like you really love this phone im on the fence between a blackberry curve 8330 and a htc touch pro what would you suggest???

  • Well the HTC has the touch screen (obviously) if that seems like something you like or can live without compared to the monthly fee of the BlackBerry then I would go with the HTC. But I don't like how Verizon basically branded the Touch with their name, and not HTC. I find that annoying, but then again I am really picky.

  • Hoooo I WANT IT SO BADDDDDDDD!!! :( I think Im going to go buy it tomorrow!!! :D that should make me really happy for a while!! hihi! :P

  • DAMN let us know if you got it and how you like it.

  • haha keep this review short (9 minutes later)

  • 9 minutes for a phone like this is short.

    Pickles.

  • nice review

  • Great Video. quick question, how would i get wallpapers on the curve? can i get wallpapers via options on phone, such as camera or can i get them on my phone? and will i be able to see such wallpaper if i just turn on my phone like any other phone?

  • You can get wallpapers on your phone a bunch of ways. The coolest way is to send them to your phone via BlueTooth, if you have it on a computer. You can also connect to other phones with bluetooth (at least blackberries you can) and transfer lots o' crap.

    So, here are your choices.

    1 - BlueTooth (the coolest way)

    2 - E-Mail

    3 - Text Messages

    4 - I am sure there are other ways I just can't think of them.

  • Do you need internet with these phones?

  • Yes you need the internet with the blackberry from Verizon.

  • I just want the phone, no internet, how much is it

  • Well you can try ordering the phone off of eBay or something like that, and then try to activate it with Verizon, but do not mention that it is a BlackBerry, and see what happens.

    My last BlackBerry that same thing happened, I activated the phone without the internet service, but that was a while ago and Verizon is a bunch of greedy jew bags so they are going to do everything they can to get you to pay that monthly fee.

  • Yeah I want to get one with verizon how much is the internet?

  • I'm paying around $25.00 a month, unlimited everything minus tethering.

  • How is Fordham i live in NY so im going to be looking into that school.

  • Pretty cool I like it here. It's a good place if you want, or enjoy city life. Although next year I will be going to Marist college because they offer more of what I want and its a beautiful school.

  • Hi I am looking into verizon blackberry curve, do you have to have the internet on it? I really do not want it.

  • Yes I have the internet on it. You do or do not want it? lol.

  • I do not want it.

  • No? Then why look into it?

  • maybe because she wants to text? its also a good texting phone, just because you dont want internet on it doesnt mean that she cant get it. i mean when i get it im not only gonna have facebook and windows live for the internet. im basicly just gonna use it to text.

  • Right, but from what I was told that can't be done. You can't get a blackberry from Verizon without internet. Want's to text? Theres plent of phones out there with qwerty keyboards, not just the curve.

  • thats why i dont have the gay Verizon, thats why im with Bell.

  • sorry. I made a mistake in the previous comment. Sprint does charge you for the email service. Like unlmimted is 39.99 a month. So I am looking at around 100$ a month including the basic plan. Do you think it will be a waste of money to just use blackberry as a phone since it costs about the same money as other phones?

  • thanks for the post. I am thinking about getting a curve 8330. But when I looked at both the sprint and verizon, sprint seemed much cheaper.. cause they don'
