Product description
Designed to Perfection
The BlackBerry Curve 8310 is a slim and lightweight phone. In elegant red color and with all the right curves, it is really a neat PDA-style piece that easily fits into your pocket (4.2 in x 2.4 in x 0.6 in). In fact, at 3.9 oz it is the lightest BlackBerry phone. The QWERTY keypad (full back lit) comes with an integrated and really handy spell checker that helps you prevent spelling mistakes. At the top of the keypad is the trackball that makes the phone navigation easier. Right above that you will find the 2.5 inch color screen (TFT type) with 320 x 240 pixels resolution that can display over 65,000 colors. To increase the battery life, a feature has been included that helps screen auto-adjust to ambient light i.e. the backlight is adjusted according to the environment (dark/well-lit) you are in.
You will also find battery, wall charger, USB cable, hands-free headset and user guide packed inside the box. The battery is Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) battery with standby time of up to 17 days and stated talk time of up to 4 hours (sometimes it exceeds 4 hours too). Since USB cable is supplied, you would expect a USB port on your BlackBerry; so, check it out and you will find a mini-USB port.
Entertainment Features
The Curve is really what the doctor ordered for those who want an entertainment gadget in-built in their cell phone. This BlackBerry supports Bluetooth Wireless Technology (v2.0). This means you can enjoy great music too without the messy wires i.e. wirelessly. In fact, the Curve 8310 supports several audio file-formats (MP3, AAC, eAAC+, WMA and AAC+) and most common video file-formats too (WMV, MPEG4 and H.263). If you get a subscription to AT&T music service, your options increase manifold. The following features further add to the entertainment quotient of the 8310 Curve: playlists, shuffle, polyphonic and MP3 ringtones, downloadable ringer profiles, games (java based) and customizable graphics.
A Treat for Photo Freaks
If you further check your BlackBerry Curve 8310 Red (AT&T), you will find a 2.0 megapixels camera with a built-in Flash and Self-timer. It also has 5x digital zoom. You can use this camera to get print-quality pictures in three resolutions (1600x1200; 640x480; and 1024x768) with three quality settings (normal, fine, and superfine). A photosuite software is included that allows you to create albums or tweak the photos (crop, rotate, red-eye removal and change other parameters of the picture). Even though video recording is not possible with Curve, you can still derive a lot of fun through clicking photos, sharing them with friends (over internet or otherwise) and you can even link a photo to a caller ID. The BlackBerry Curve 8310 comes with 64MB memory but if you are really one of those who want more space for photos, music etc, you can expand the memory using the MicroSD card (yes, there is a slot in the cell phone for the MicroSD card).
Messaging Features
Text messaging i.e. SMS (with group messaging), multimedia messaging, emails and instant messengers are the options that are available with Curve (through AT&T BlackBerry service plans). You also get one touch access to on-the-move web browsing together with support for BlackBerry maps. You also get the capability to view email attachments (Word, Excel, PDF and PowerPoint). Using BlackBerry Internet Service (it comes with AT&T plans), you can have personal/work-related emails ‘Pushed’ to your BlackBerry device in real time. Integration with up to 10 email accounts is possible with support for various protocols (VPN, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP). While sending emails, you can choose the email account that you want to use for sending. Spell Checker is also available on emails and instant messenger.
Exclusive Features
However, the exclusive features of BlackBerry Curve 8310 Red (AT&T) are PTT and GPS navigation. With probably the largest PTT (Push-To-Talk) network, AT&T’s PTT service is really a bargain. It allows you to check the availability of your contacts and you can even use the group-calling feature for organizing a quick conference with selected contacts. It is also possible to send SMS, MMS or voice-message to your contacts. Other features like call waiting and alerts are also available. GPS is the most attractive feature of BlackBerry Curve 8310 Red (AT&T). It hosts GPS Locator (TeleNav) and applications like BlackBerry maps. 3D maps, traffic updates, quick and accurate directions (with options) are available through GPS.
Other great features include voice-activated dialing, speakerphone, alarm, calculator, calendar, to-do-list, and vibrate mode. PC-Phone synchronization (for address book, calendar, pictures and email) is also available on this BlackBerry.
And if you are wondering, ‘How does all this come together in one small device?’ - Here is the technology that goes behind it: A strong processor (312 MHz), sufficient memory (64 MB), high performance operating system (BlackBerry OS 4.2.2) and Java as application platform. Moreover, you get data download speed of up to 144 Kbps through AT&T's EDGE network. Further, 4 GSM bands (850, 900, 1800, 1900) are supported and the AT&T network is available in more than 13000 US cities (and international roaming is also available).
Various AT&T voice plans, Blackberry plans, messaging plans, Push-To-Talk plans, GPS plans and mobile backup are supported and available to suit your Smartphone needs.
