Blackberry Curve 3G 9330
  • More Photos

BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 doesn’t offer anything we haven’t seen before, but given that it’s an entry-level model this is perhaps to be expected. It’s certainly a great phone for emailing and text messaging and with GPS and 3G onboard it offers a decent feature set. However, it’s very awkward to use for web browsing and with Android touchscreen handsets now appearing on the market for around £100 on PAYG, we’re not quite sure there’s enough here to attract those new to the BlackBerry platform.

>>we’re not quite sure there’s enough here to attract those new to the BlackBerry platform.





Its called Blackberry Messenger! :) At the secondary school where my year 11 daughter goes, I reckon almost 100% of her mates have Blackberries - many the 9300 that Santa bought! No charge for BM messages - its a no brainer! Before her O2 Blackberry, when she was on Virgin she was gobbling up 3000 text messages each and EVERY month & sometimes adding additional cost of £25! The 9300 is a god-send, and I'm sure many parents will feel the same!





Its a stonking phone - 10/10

@PaulW Or you can forgo the BB charges and buy WhatsApp for your Symbian, iPhone or Android. Does essentially the same thing as BBMessenger. Uses some data, but nothing too crazy.

Midnight-Alchemist: The techy nerd in me agrees (that's most of me), but there is a catch. When you strike up a first conversation with a guy/girl (as applicable) in the pub, club etc, and it appears to be going well, "What's your BB pin" is a lot easier than going "Do you have WhatsApp? Well, WhatsApp is a cross-platform messaging application available on Symbian, iPhone and Android. Well, those are other types of phone which aren't Blackberries"... etc etc... In other words, as PaulW notes, one major reason to get a Blackberry is that if you are in a certain age group you almost have to have one simply because everyone else does... Incidentally I do not have a Blackberry as sadly I am well past said age ;)

I got the blackberry curve 9300 a week ago and I have to say I was a bit nervous about getting it because I wasn't sure whether it would live up to it's expectations- but it did and I love it. When you first hold it the blackberry feels light but it feels as if one drop could damage the phone majorly but this problem can easily be resolved with the thousands if cases that are under £5! The phone is straightforward and was to se up but I must say that the battery life is awful as I need t charge it up everyday though I thin this is because I use BBM a lot. The bes part of the blackberry is the BBM especially as it is very easy to type with the qwerty keyboard. You can send messages to anyone around the world instantly and it says whether it's been delivered or received and you can even see when your friend is writing back to you! A major let down for me is the blackberry app world. Loads of people say that there aren't many apps but I disagree with this- the problem for me is that I can't connect to the app world on my blackberry and so. Can only purchase apps on my computer. Overall I would give the Blackberry 9.5/10 because the BBM really shines through for me but the battery and app world is a let down.

The 4 previous comments seem accurate- low battery life if you "USE" it, great BBMessaging (Rim developed that 25 years ago!), however, NOTE, Apple is adding a BBM Server Clone to the entire world iPhone network, so this advantage will disappear. Since all the users are "LIGHT" users or just kids who want to TEXT, there is NO reviewer who actually fully explores the 9300... I am trying to get rid of 6 old wretched "PQRS7" button phones with various carriers, and have to report terrible battery life, and extremely difficult set-up and maintenance of the 9300- as an EXPERIENCED user, I would NOT Recommend the 9300 to SERIOUS users or experienced users. Under "Full" usage, it fails on just about every count. My full review is posted on my teeny web site, kidbots.com in a folder called kidbots.com/WEBADD/ where a list will show BLACKBERRY_9300_REVIEW, and clicking that will show a list with the actual html review, BB_9300_REVIEW.html (It is an apache linux server so that capital letters are important! ) Full link is kidbots.com/WEBADD/BLACKBERRY_9300_REVIEW/BB-9300_REVIEW.html, but these "fill-in-the-blank" forms usually destroy the full links... Loading the Blackberry DESKTOP Manager, and FLashing the cell phone itself to get the new revisions of the Device Software, is confusing. Using "ALL" the features, including downloading VIDEOS, and Applications is almost impossible, since there is NOT enough RAM memory on the phone to support typical use - you can put in a massive 32 GIGABYTE SD RAM Card, but the Device Software, ignores it entirely, so that after a few Application downloads, you simply get ERRORS constantly. For simply using BBM texting, or to upgrade as a "first" full qwerty keyboard for a light, occasional user, this 9300 might work. If you actually want to USE all the features fully avoid the phone at all costs! On the kidbots.com/WEBADD list of the review under BLACKBERRY_9300_REVIEW there is also a PDF of my full review, with many photographs and details that no other review includes. I am in Canada with WIND Mobile carrier, so many comments are focused on local issues, but anywhere in the world may have carrier and Cell Tower similarities, so that if you are going to hand over a lot of cash, you would be advised to read all the reviews available FIRST! Good Luck.

Superb mobile computing device

2nd August 2011, By Erick Lamothe

  • Comprehensive feature set
  • Excellent build
  • Fast at managing tasks
  • None spring to mind

The 9300 3G Curve from Blackberry is a thoroughly efficient and competent mobile computing device capable of enabling the user to remain totally connected through email, telephony and the web whilst on the move. The feature set of this device includes 3G, sat nav, and document management software. A very good addition to the company's product portfolio. Strongly recommended.
