The BlackBerry Curve 8310

I finally got it! I even added a personal email to the phone (trick is to activate the personal email before the Enterprise Activation). However I messed up by hiding the personal email icon...now I can't get it back (hence I can't reply to personal emails), but I can receive them...better than nothing I guess.

What I have noticed is that the browser is extremely slow - I am unsure whether it is a connection issue or a software issue. However, my old BB 8800 surfed the net relatively quickly. So far that is the only major set back and hopefully it is just today that it is slow...

The camera phone on the 8310 is great, especially since it comes with a flash. The trackball takes a little getting used to but I do like it better than the side scroller - it is much more sensitive to the touch. Still love the full keyboard, which was the only reason why I chose it over th Pearl to be honest. The curve is only 1/4 wider than the Pearl and the weight difference is neglible. I am looking forward to loading the phone with a 4GB microSD card to play media files. Apparently the 6GB causes problems with the phone (slows down the O/S, incompatibility with the desktop manager, requires formatting...and that might not even work) - says the crackberry site...RIM will probably provide a fix but I don't need anything bigger than a 4GB anyway. As I mentioned last time...the GPS is good addition to the 8300 series. Now to try it out...
