RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 (Page 1 of 4 )
With the recent release of the T-Mobile 8320 Curve, AT&T had to quickly get back to the drawing board to prepare their newest Blackberry model, the Curve 8310. The Blackberry Curve 8310 is quite a nice device with many useful features. Keep reading for the full review.
The original RIM Blackberry Curve was released in early 2007 and it was a big hit right from the get-go. BlackBerries in general offer top-notch messaging capabilities along with a variety of other useful functions.
The Curve 8320 and the Curve 8310 are very similar in most ways, but there is one key difference between the two BlackBerry models. T-Mobile's 8320 offers Wi-Fi support for ultra-fast wireless Internet as well as Internet calls, while AT&T's Curve 8310 opted not to go with Wi-Fi functionality and instead integrated a nice GPS feature into the device. Whether this is a fair trade or not is up to each individual, but one thing's for sure: these are both top-notch smart phones with exceptional messaging capabilities.
Although the new Curve 8310 doesn't have Wi-Fi support, it is still capable of browsing the Internet via AT&T's EDGE network. The EDGE network is a wireless network exclusive to AT&T subscribers; there will be more on the performance of the EDGE network later in this review.
Pricing for the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 is fairly reasonable at about $199 with a 2-year service agreement with AT&T. At this price, the 8310 should do fairly well against the competition, which includes the Curve 8320, iPhone, Motorola Q9h, and the AT&T Tilt.
