I have just got Blackberry curve on contract & I can say that it's worth every penny! It's simple to use & gives fast response. I could say that it's the best phone I have ever got.

I bought a blackberry curve 8300, but before this mobile I used a Sony Ericsson p990. But I am having some problems regarding contacts or address book transfer from the Sony Ericsson p990i to blackberry curve 8300. Does anyone know how to do this?

This is a pretty easy phone to use considering just how many features are on it. A thoroughly well thought through design. Well done Blackberry & thanks!

Just Excellent!
Really easy to use & has a Set up Wizard. I never got the phone for business use, purely personal & it's perfect. Keeps me organised with appointments & the QWERTY keypad is so easy to use.
Camera is excellent for general use, sound is excellent & music is very easy to load.
You can associate quick dial to each alphabetical key on the keypad which makes it easier to remember, for me anyway as you can just think of the name & assign that key. Voice Dialing is very cool with feedback from the device asking questions.
I am just sorry I never took the plunge earlier & got this quicker. I mulled around these forums looking for some guidance but I can pretty much guarantee you won't go wrong with the device.

Got this from Vodafone 4 days ago & wow! I am impressed!
Great design unlike the blackberry 8800 & pearl (both soooo chunky) & a big screen too with 320 x 240 pixels too! Features are great but could be a bit improved by putting GPS on, but that would cost a lot.
Amazingly easy to use & trackball is not too sensitive & not too laggy, could have put touch screen though.
Bonuses:
- Can support MP3, AAC, MIDI, & WAV music files & AVI, MP4, MOV, & 3GP video formats songs & videos
- 4 hrs talk time & 17 days standby
I STRONGLY recommend you should buy these items with it:
- 500MB memory card (only £5 from Amazon)
- Metal case
Reviewer: Thura Maung - Milestone, Reading, UK

Got this on my desk after launched in the O2 yesterday. Definitely version 8800 series & others.
Improve adds in:
- 2 Meg camera
- Media player (can support MP3, AAC, MIDI, & WAV music files & AVI, MP4, MOV, & 3GP video formats songs & videos) & support on full screen mode in video
- Bluetooth
- Improve keyboard quality.
Bad:
- No Wi-fi or 3G support
- Video Recording
- Call quality sounds a bit hollow
Battery Life: 4 hrs talk time & 17 days standby (not try yet)
Include: extra micro 128 Mb, & wire ear buds, belt holster & universal charger.
Overall, all in all a good Stylish, light, & attractive headset.
Give 8/10.
