Sure theyre are a few good things but everytime I pick it up it sounds like its going to fall apart. This phone is nothing but plastic. For the first week the phone was operating well, but then everything started acting slow. EXTREMLY slow response times!!! it would take me 10 seconds after pressing a button for anything to happen. Sucks no wifi also. Owner of a 8300 and it is a plastic piece of crap. Sure theyre are a few good things but everytime I pick it up it sounds like its going to fall apart.

I use the one by Nokia, which works fine. The software works fine with BB maps /called Road Maps here) and supports GPS. While Google maps on my 8800 also supports GPS, I miss this on the 8300 unit, but already noticed some threads about this issue on the web. might be a software issue. Will try to install the 8800 version on the 8300... T-Mobile says the 8300 (called Curve in Germany) is ready to be shipped by June. Rumours say the 8300 be priced below the currently announced value :-) Marketing is placing the unit between the 8100 and 8800. So just wait a while... RIM told my they are working on a body fix and a face lift for the 8800, let's see. My 8300 evaluation unit has one fault: once it is off, you cannot switch it on anymore... Battery removal is a workaround here, but I will give it back to the factory..

Does the GPS really work or is it just a menu pick? All the other evaluators said there is no GPS inside the 8300, but a menu pick to connect to an external GPS device. Thanks, James Holger,

I wonder why they always seem to leave one thing out that keeps these things from being the ultimate device in the world. Still is the ultimate.. but I wish it had the GPS built in like the 8800.
