[Lilfreaknot]

Blackberry bold 9700 is the best blackberry now and u have to get a data plan.

[mimiw09]

would you say this is good for facebook and twitter?

[egretdingo]

@mimiw09 You're better off with the 8500 or 9300, if price is an issue. Else the Bold is probably the best thing to get.

[algk92]

hey cn anyone teel me if this can record off the camera on it ?

thanks

[dukie133]

would i be "killing" the concept of a bb if i dont use it for emails, and the stuff ppl buy it for? cuz this is gonna be my first bb, and i dont want to look like a dumbass or something...

[algk92]

i dont think you would, i suppose you can use it for what ever you want to use it for =]

[dukie133]

right-e-o

[dukie133]

how do u switch interphases?, if u dont like the one that the att curve comes with

[alphaspot]

ugh :( I should of waited for the 8900 curve, but my 8300 is still pretty good.

[SweeterGirl33]

so you can, but do you know what company you have to switch too? I have t mobile now.

[SweeterGirl33]

Is it possible to get this phone , but prepaid?

[FccB24]

No, unless you switch plans after. It's because you need the data plan.

[lakertwofour]

Does anyone no how to upload more than 35 second of video in mms mode to youtube I have a media card but it only let's me record 35 or 40 second in mms mode at 176 x 44

[corsairkid33]

I love the curve! But there is a bit of a learning "curve" to it...thankfully I found a good forum to help me out.

w w w . allblackberrycurve . com

[dandridge3]

YES!!! i get mine on Monday (late Christmas present)

[cherob1984]

yeah see with sprint the gps is included in the price. but I don't like google maps, google maps can't help you find your own ass. Where do you get different OS?? I am looking to get my Curve next week and would like to know where to find these, can you help??

[blakeandphoebe]

hey whats better the blackberry storm or the blackberry curve?? plz reply back!

[dsdarkman10]

Curve, the storm's touch screen was a little screwy, so it wasnt so responsive.

[elsanchokaki]

curve, the thing with the storm is that, yeah it looks cool and what not but the screen wasn't thought out well enough. its only one huge button, so that it clicks, the whole screen dips in, so typing on it it slow since you cant press a button twice, you get me? you gotta wait for it to come back up BEFORE you can begin pressing the other symbol letter ect...., i have a curve with upgraded OS, and ive even used the bold, i prefer the curve, i can do all that bold can on mine

[KkAa21]

The blackberry curve, i think, is way better, it looks nice and sleek.

[Jamacian4Lyfe]

iWANT.

[J90lude]

boring review FTL

[justboredsosignedup]

8310 or 8300?

[JustinNorth2]

Just so that you are aware, AT&T is not the only company that supports this phone. T-Mobile has this phone, and is generally the first company to get the newest Blackberry handsets.

[TroyChannel]

does it have bluetooth?

[KoolBeans8626]

MY BRO HAS THIS IT ROX!!!

[OSUcks726]

wow your voice is more annoying than the phonescoops guy

[santamacx]

rofl

[720170]

your a dick mate, try thanking the guy for doing this post, dont abuse someone who is helping the rest of us out on what phone to get.go and grow up a little.

[OSUcks726]

im not dissing him its just his voice more annoying

[sgtsbre]

Id like to hear ur voice and say something about it u dickhead. Also ppl like 720170 are really great to have on youtube. THANKS 720170

[cocacola711]

wait, did he say the wifi wont work because att blocked it?

[Blackberryguy101]

the at&t version of the curve doesnt have wifi. But it does have gps. the modle on t mobile has wifi

[FlickBooger]

HA HA YOU ALMOST DROPPED IT!

[Vizionry]

My sister has this phone. It is NICEEEE. And, my friend e-mailed me a link where the Curve is free with a new 2 year contract with AT&T. Message me.

[ybreksinned]

not to b picky but u would think dat a great thing like phone arena could use sum of der money to pay 4 a top of the lin camra or atleat 1 dat is not blocky

[ramos121892]

whats the difference betweed 8310 and 8300

[fart2007]

RIM = ridiculously insane masturbation

[594742]

The narrator of this video may be one of the dullest, most unanimated voices I have ever heard. The setences were not smooth, he has a real stuttering problem, and I think a robot could have sounded more natural. Please, hire a new narrator.

[PulletSurprise]

I'm picking up a 8310 Curve in Red from AT&T for $50 with a plan today. :D

[JamesBAMF85]

is it good?

[PulletSurprise]

It's amazing.

Once you get a Blackberry, you will never want anything else.

The 4.5 version BB OS is due to be released for the North American Market soon, and with it comes video recording, video streaming with full flash support and HTML email viewing.

Apple is still working on a mobile Flash solution for the iPhone. LoLz

[JamesBAMF85]

ha

sweet thanks

[atomicavocado]

darn rite.

[blueblazeboy]

i got a crimson one

[oscarolayo]

do u guys get paid??

[kennychanga]

this guys voice makes me want to cut my wrists

[mcca59]

i second that...

[miniinvertman]

so is the bb curve 8300 able to go surfing the web

[diamond2tron]

but you can't watch video with it

[elsanchokaki]

yes

[mntony123]

how do you get video on it

[elsanchokaki]

just sync it to the computer and input the videos in the video file, you might want to have a good SD card to hold up more

[mntony123]

oh but you cant take footage and stuff

[elsanchokaki]

only if its the 8320 or the 8330, those have wifi and video recording. the 8310 has gps, either way the video quality in any phone sucks so at least for me recording video on a phone is irrelevant and obsolete.

[cherob1984]

dude the 8330 has gps, and video capabilities, and in my opinion it takes better videos than my DV camera. I own a red Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330. I have turn-by-turn gps video and a WHOLE lot more!!

[elsanchokaki]

yeah i can do all that too.... mine is the 8310 (AT&T) with the newest software installed on it, i can take vids, go on youtube, blah blah, and alot of other stuff too, turn by turn i have but refuse to pay for the service, its a waste of money IMO, i just use google maps, it tracks you via satellite and even re-routes you if you get off track

[kenudomeltudo]

how is the media player on it? Would it be good enough to use instead of an ipod for my music?

[L3W1SB]

Just a quick question - I have seen the BB Curve 8300 unlocked to any network in a local shop. I was just wondering if i was to buy one would i have to pay for the BB email even if i wasn't to use it? I was thinking of putting a Pay As You Talk sim in the phone if i got it and was just bothered about being charged data costs even if i wasn't using the email feature?

[dextermikey2]

they need a new narrator

[karenrockz93]

i agree i have friends with the sidekick and i have the blackberry curve and its way better

[trixy07]

i have a question!

when your own picture as the home screen savor how do you make it full screen?

when i add a picture is only shows like half of it!

[guitarshorty07]

resize it bigger.

[shtayve]

screen saver

[shuggargirl]

no don´t buy a sidekick i have one ya it looks better than the blackberry but its horrible phone the blackberry its so much beter...belive me.

[shadowslicer0]

horrible phone

i want a sidekick!

[nemabass]

this or the blackjack 2

[INSANEbRaNd0n911]

I have AT&T (cingular) and get to pick out a new phone for my birthday i can get pretty much any phone except for like the iphone i was thinking about this one any suggestions?

[jmontague]

get the 8310 blackberry pnws the iphone pdas have been able to do what the iphone can do apple just put it all on touch its a trend once u go blackberry u never go back!!

[aLiShikari]

Nice way to put it :]

[nejisdeath]

uh actually i have an iphone and i dont think u have ever used it and that ur just jelous that u cant get one, i own one and the complaints ppl have are stupid!! the only one complaint i have is no mms and that does get really annoying alot, but edge is still decently fast i dont need 3g, and the iphone does way more than pdas!! it has full web browser, touch, internet anywhere, gps, multimedia, 2mp camera, youtube, and so so much more!!

[chargerfun34]

Probaly this one or the razr 2

[adiga83]

hi all thnx for this review. its really helpfull. Although i have a couple of ques:

1- does it support large pdf files with good efficiency( i used to have a Windows Mobile phone, i couldn't load a large pdf file (like an E-book) without waiting for soooo looong )

thnx

[vikesfan088]

I dont see why an 11 year old needs such a nice phone, let alone a phone at all. And if you are 13, that is not much better. Kids who get anything they want make me sick. But I must say this phone is very nice.

[nejisdeath]

dont get mad at other ppl cuz they are more fortunate than you are, although i do agree yunger kids have no need for such a phone, but 13 and older is getting to the point where its ok, i got my first phone when i was 13, now im 15 and i gots me an iphone!!

[KillaKanga]

ahh your lucky, i have sprint and im stuck with the shittiest of phones. but whenever sprint decides to put this phone out i plan on getting it and im 16

[nejisdeath]

sweet dude im hoping u get a good one!! sprint sux man i feel bad for u!! lol

[KillaKanga]

well its not so bad, for $15 a month a get 500 anytime minutes, free text, free everything else with friends and family lol. but yea if they release it in april (i heard this from some forum) ill be making a review video for the sprint version

[nejisdeath]

yeah that is pretty good! but u know, with my iphone, 40 bucks a month, unlimited visual voiucemail, internet, email, texting, and pretty much everything!! ecept my calling plan i the same as my parents opne so thats on their plan so i dont even gotta pay for it! lol

[KillaKanga]

well youre one lucky individual, ive still never even touched an iphone lol

[nejisdeath]

really? dude i didnt even want to get an iphone ,then i tried it at a at&t store, and instandtly i loved it!! sure there a few missing features i would like to have!! bu it fucking rocks!

[spadea2]

why dont u get an ocean from sprint there really cool

[KillaKanga]

helio and sprint are two different companies even though they share the same network right? because that i a nice phone

[spadea2]

sprint owns helio

[KillaKanga]

so can i just buy a helio and use my same sprint plan?

[spadea2]

yep

[shtayve]

they're

[lunarconvict4]

which color is better for a blackberry curve?

titanium or wine red?

i can't decide!!!

i heard the red was for girls. :/

[dd10x]

haha my sisters 11 n she has this phone i have it 2 but im getting a sidekick much better

[jmontague]

sidekick breaks easily like the ipod

[chief004]

Do anybody know how to make a picture "Full Screen" on the main menu

[ggpucky21]

i just got dis fone

i think is a gd fone but i dont know yet ^_^

[mkellyxp]

I had an 8gig iPhone since it came out. The weaknesses of that phone were just too annoying, then one day the touch screen started spazing out. This is a much better phone. I think the iPod Touch is where that technology belongs... not in my phone.

[robotaholic]

I so have this phone and my iphone friend likes mine better -

[warn81]

13 year olds are getting this phone...my god

[Pwinxcess]

im 13 and im getting it for christmas!!=]

[alphamaxproductions0]

hellz yeah im getting this for for x mas! and um...im 13 also :P

[Pwinxcess]

me too, n i 13!!holla

[WasUp250]

I already have a kyocera switchback but i sucks. for christmas i am getting this and i am going to use the phone i have for talking and that phone there for internet and texting. I cant wait. I am 13 as well.

[silvershawdow4]

i just got the curve for my 13th birthday. i wouldnt recommend it. its a cool fone.. very complicated...

[maybeiloveyou]

lol

maybe it's complicated because you're 13

[mrlizotte]

lol I cant disagree with anything what you said. ^.^

[beelo11]

i cannot disagree with u as well.. wth is 13yr olds doing with these phones... what could they possibly need this for? show off near their playgrounds? pfft

[kevnca]

13? lol, Do you know what a Blackberry fone is capable of?

[FlySK3]

Does the Curve automatically come with Instant Messaging or do you have to download it?

[openebiz]

the blackberry messenger is included, google talk is available for free download and IM+ (ICQ, MSN, etc) can be bought for ~20$

[aLiShikari]

You can get MSN etc. downloaded onto your Blackberry phone for free! Then you can use it whenever you want.... Still free of charge!

[jmontague]

yes u can

[brharte]

How good is the video player? More importantly, will it be able to handle a 700mb avi full-lenght movie? I owned the blackberry 8700 in the past so I know it's core features. My only concern is the video playback tho.

[G21SF]

The Curve's player performs the same as the previous Blackberry (8100 Pearl). You'll need a microSD card to load movies on the Curve. You'll also have to encode the 700mb movie to compress it down to about 200mb. On a 4gb microSD card, you can fit about 18 or so fully encoded movies.

[dorianthomas]

What is he talking about this review was horrible...It does side scroll you just roll the traceball left or right

[gamezb2013]

Do you think that is a good phone for a 13 year old?

[jmontague]

no its meant for college/business people

[maybeiloveyou]

no, the pearl would be better imo

[rajpalgrewal]

haha wow as if you said that

[RTPstudios]

i agree

do some research or raise your iq sometime soon

[StatiCWolf]

LoL your comment was priceless! trying to be a smartass and still ending up as a retard.

For everything else there is master card xD

[mqrx97]

you dumbfuck! phone manufactures give names to their phones to make them more marketable to dumbass consumers like you. the model number is still 8300 but still carries the "curve" name!

[FlySK3]

Does the keyboard have a backlighting?

[shadowelite141]

yea

[ae3211]

8300 is the model number and curve is the name, they are the same thing dumbass

[Eminem50centTripleH]

how is the tracball change color?

[woaixiaoga]

expensive

[AgainstMelissa]

This is a very cool phone :D
