By Jeremy Roche on 24 October 2007

With the addition of GPS the BlackBerry Curve 8310 is an incremental upgrade, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.

    • Good: They say it's cool...
    • Bad: It's a Crackberry!

    Why not get a REAL PDA Phone :) Windows Mobile 6 - Like the Dopod 838Pro or HTC Tytn II??? The Crackberry is still VERY limited with the number of applications you can install!

    Just picked up a new Dopod 838Pro for $675 from www.pressdigital.com.au and couldn't be happier. Installed time management apps, price-books and synchronised to our corporate mail server in under 5 mins.. And all without our IT dept holding hands!!

    Give Crackberry the flick and grab a Windows Mobile PDA IMO..

    • Good: Slim form factor, nice bright screen, good bluetooth connectivity, supplied pouch is a great idea.
    • Bad: No 3G (painfully slow data downloads)
      Not a 'live' connection with your PC like Windows Mobile Devices

    This is a pretty good phone for standard calls & messaging. Its still the best and easiest 'push' mobile email device you can get, but I still love my Treo 750 best!

    • Good: Email, does so much away from the office.
    • Bad: Fiddly and a steep learning curve. Most of the menu stuff, I will NEVER use!

    I swallowed that line by Vodafone too and got the "FREE" one but all up it's a good little gadget but not really a toy.
    It's complicated, man!

    Let's not say "it comes free" with the Vodafone plan, please. That's swallowing the carrier's line too much. It comes as part of the plan, which I bet they designed all around the device.
