Good clear review .

Best review i've seen yet. 

[Uzebar]

Hi I'm looking for a new blackberry and it's really hard to find an in depth review. However, your review was detailed and informational. Now I know who to come to if I want a new phone. A perfect review.

[MegaLPgamer]

u talk sooooooooo fast lol

[asnallar]

Sorry, off topic.... Your ring is a little big for your finger.

[B4iKu2]

hey wirelessnsider. my contract is expiring next month, so do you prefer for me to get the blackberry or a samsung galaxy s+ ?

[RainbowGeek12345]

how do you delete things?

[WirelessInsider]

@RainbowGeek12345 Hi! If you want to remove a contact, email or text, select it and then press the "Del" button on the keyboard. You can also delete items by selecting them, then press the "BlackBerry Button" (the one with all those dots) and select "Delete". Deleting applications is done by going to: Options > Device > Application Management. Cheers!

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE ! I bought one in Jan 2012 and it kept freezing 2 weeks later ( only 2 apps on device ) 02 replaced it for a new one and one week later same problem freezing and only way to fix it was to remove the battery then 10 minutes later it froze again . 02 offered me another blackberry but i choose to upgrade to an iphone because i knew it wouldnt freeze . This phone is good when you first get it but in the long run its very unreliable .

[yoshi87872]

I was using this in the o2 shop the touchscreen is great

[Lankyman222]

how many fones do u have

[wo0p]

now im using this phone .. it is nice phone , smaller and lighter , sometimes im not realise my phone in pocket..

[elvinperez21]

Y can't u take off the back sticker?

[dandoona1998]

@cvgshardraco I recommend the 9360 if you use bbm or texting a lot , but if you use bbm a lot and still want a touch screen then get the 9790 bold it's touch and type and the price isn't very different it's about 100 dollars more but it's worth it

[dandoona1998]

What should I get 9360 or 9380 ?? I use bum

[CVGshardraco]

I am determined to buy one of the new Curve phones this week. I'm in a dilemma whether to buy the Curve 9360 or Curve 9380. Any suggestions??

[hermosa05]

Blackberry 9380 vs HTC Panache™ 4G

Which would you recommend?

[podedim]

what phone didi you use for the stopwatch ..i like it better!

[WirelessInsider]

@podedim Haha, it was the Samsung Nexus S. A pretty simple phone...actually had to download a stopwatch app since it didn't come with one (weird). Cheers!

[everlastcro]

this is sparta! lol

[sarafatimaiqbal]

[Leah280109]

hi, im currently owning a blackberry odin and thinking about switching to this one, what do u think

? should i do it or not?

another thing that is bothering my mind is that some of the review says the button (call button, menu button, back button) are hard to press is it true?

thanks

[WirelessInsider]

@Leah280109 Hi! Oh wow, the Odin (Storm). Many can agree that the Odin was not one of RIM's greatest handsets. That aside, the Curve 9380 would absolutely destroy the Odin in every respect. It's not even fair to compare. However, keep in mind, the Curve lineup is mid-level. The correct device to compare to the Odin should be the Torch 9860, with a very similar design (but a LOT better). As for the buttons on the 9380, they are a little stiff, mainly due to the small design of the handset.

[LaHedare]

PLEASE HELP: how to LOCK the screen in PORTRAIT? i want the screen to stay in portrait mode forvever even if i rotate and move the phone... please help..

[iMinecraftNews]

Also does it have autofocus camera? 

[iMinecraftNews]

Is this a good blackberry to buy? Also Will i get used to the touchscreen keyboard as I use a 8520 Curve atm. Please reply UPLOADER.

[Tvbashup]

Im getting a new phone and iv never had a blackberry before and i hate the keyboard used on them but like the interface.... Is this better thn the galaxy ace?

[lalie16123]

does this phone vibrates when you touch the screen??

I now have curve 9300 and is it smart to switch to this phone??

thanks.

[WirelessInsider]

@lalie16123 Hi! No, the phone does not vibrate when a screen selection is made...that's typically a feature of Android devices. As for switching to the 9380 from a 9300, the most significant thing to keep in mind here is the keyboard. If you text/email a lot on your 9300, which has a keyboard, then you need to keep in mind that the 9380 is touch-only, and is something you will have to adapt to. Specs wise, absolutely, the 9380 is a winner, but it all comes down to how you use it.

[lalie16123]

@WirelessInsider ok thanks!

[hlrko]

Can you please do blackberry curve 9360 vs blackberry curve 9380

[hdtjang]

@hlrko i want to see too... thinking which one should get.

[hlrko]

@hdtjang Same 

[sdjokr1]

THERE IS A YOUTUBE APP!

[mogoy15]

nice review and a nice phone from BB. :)

[DAMIAN6127]

cool!!!\

[harwood94]

1st dislike... first person with a life

[RONSKY16]

great job sir,..now i'm thinking twice on what to purchase between these BBs,..can you help me what to choose?haha

[bucbroker]

Very well done video Wirelessinsider. I appreciate your concise and to the point, well organized review. Based on this video, I find the Blackberry 9380 fits my needs just fine as opposed to the Blackberry Torch. For half the price, I am willing to concede to a "slower" processor and a fixed focus camera (after all, this is a communication device for gosh sakes).

[WirelessInsider]

@bucbroker Hi! Well thank you good sir, glad to see I was of help! And I couldn't agree with you more...these ARE phones after all haha. Thanks! :)

[saiplayer2525]

includes auto focus or not?

[A7md96J]

@saiplayer2525 No

[LaHedare]

ahahaha. This is also a stress test bec of testing how fast to switch screen and opening the tab.. haha. you did not show how to text message... my most awaited part of any review :((((((((

[WirelessInsider]

@LaHedare Hi! I demo-ed the texting capabilities of the device using the virtual keyboard @7:30. It should hopefully give you an idea of what to expect! Cheers.

[saiplayer2525]

this is the top great review i ever seen

[LFCEOIN]

i dont like the qwerty keyboards on blackberrys anyway and i like touchscreen phones and i can get it for £200. is there any phones that i could get with flash at this price cus i would use the wifi alot

[JackCampbell94]

Should I get the touch screen curve or the not touch screen? after all the touch screen one is cheaper..

[raunakn098]

Will this be upgradable to BBX as it is going to be launched in 2 months time?? Where does that leave OS7 phones then?

[SuperLee1417]

how do you get the review units?

[oziedza]

this is one hell of a review i must say!!!!!!!!!!!

im currently makin up my mind between the curve 9360 & 9380...

which one would you recommend???

[X4HHH]

@oziedza it is not the phone its you do you like keyboard or touch the 9360 and 9380 is the same phone

i like 9380 big screen its good for videos and web browsing and there is a track bad i am not a touch phone lover but i well tray it

[ruggedfresh]

OH YEEA... THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT..... lol

SUPERB Review and Overview WirelessInsider :D

Keep up the Good Work

[dannyngo56]

You are incredibly organized and have great attention to detail. Hands down the best youtube phone reviewer I've ever watched.

[WirelessInsider]

@dannyngo56 Why thank you good sir! I may have some hiccups here or there, but I just try to deliver as much as I can, as quickly as I can (as some have noticed haha). Cheers! :)

[Orlandomontilla1]

Very good video

[weneedtodosomething]

the nfc does fuck all on my 9900... and the browser is far too sensitive to touch.... also having picked up a galaxy nexus the other day.... my thoughts were that blackberry seemed dated in comparison.....

[XgamerHere]

@WirelessInsider I meant BBM not BAM ( the auto correction is useless on the iPad 2). Do you have to charge a new phone for a long time once you get it, and why?

[WirelessInsider]

@XgamerHere Haha alright. BBM is integrated into all BlackBerries. Once you have a data package (with Blackberry Internet Service, or BIS) then BBM will work no problem. As for the battery, whenever you get a new device (phone, laptop, etc.) the first time you get it, drain the battery to 0% and then fully charge to 100%, with the device off. This calibrates it to the lowest-low and highest-high. Do not do this all the time, maybe once every few months. But if you can, always charge while off.

[2468gman]

naaa this phone isint good bad touch screen to low resolution and slow im going to stick on getting the bold 9900

[WirelessInsider]

@2468gman Hi! Yeah, it is more of a mid-introductory-level device. Wait for the BlackBerry 9790 launching in a week or so! You may like it (review to come soon). Cheers!

[2468gman]

@WirelessInsider Naa 9790 is good but whats the point of a really small touchscreen i think the 9900 is better which would you prefer

[XgamerHere]

@wirelessInsider ok , but the strange thing is they are the same price for contract. Both are £20.50 for 24 month with 200min , unlimited texts and Internet. I am gonna get the torch 9860 but do you know what blackberry booster is? Is it bam? If not how much is bam? Thanks.

[WirelessInsider]

@XgamerHere Wow, that's a pretty-good deal! As for BlackBerry Booster, I'm assuming that's the battery-saving app from BB App World correct? If so, the best thing to keep in mind is that with any touchscreen device, it's very tough to extend battery life via software. Best trick is to calibrate the battery properly when you first get the phone, and charge it while it’s off when you can. As for BAM, I couldn't find anything on it...what App is that?

[homeboy9948]

screen too small to type on virtual keyboard. too cramped.

[WirelessInsider]

@homeboy9948 Hi! Have to agree with you there. While it is small and compact, it does make for a finicky typing experience.

[XgamerHere]

Do a comparision with this and the torch 9860

[WirelessInsider]

@XgamerHere Would love to, but obviously the 9860 would win. It's almost twice as fast with a larger screen for better typing and media playback. No fair comparing Curves to Torches! Thanks.

[XgamerHere]
