BlackBerry Curve 8310 Unboxing
It seems it was just a couple days ago that we were making predictions on the BlackBerry Curve series and what sort of features it would sport. Would it have GPS? Would it have Wi-Fi? Would it have GPS and Wi-Fi? By now, we know the answers, but nevertheless, there have been a ton of people annoyed at the fact that they left GPS behind when they switched from the BlackBerry 8800 to the BlackBerry Curve. While not officially available from AT&T yet, the BlackBerry Curve 8310 has started showing up in stores across the country. The launch date looks like tomorrow October 16th, so get ready. In the meantime, check out our photos of the Crimson-colored device!
UPDATE: There seems to be a lot more contrast on the 8310’s screen. Not sure if I love it or hate it yet. Will post some comparison pics shortly.

when is verizon ever going to get new blackberry’s…the pearl is terrible. i want a curve-alicious.
The 8310 has been here in Aus for quite a while, i only assumed it was released in the states at the same time…. great device!!!
I have google maps on my Tmobile 8320. It works very well.
CONTRAST
i got a 8310 (replaced my 8300)and noticed the screen was more saturated…flesh tones were a bit more orange…seems to be pushing more reds
AT&T stores or business care don’t seem to have a clue as to when the 8310 will be available, simply amazing!!
Boygenius knows, but they dont !?!?!?
Got one last night cant seem to get the GPS working w google maps. BTW red looks sweet.
Where, what city, location??
new york city
Got one today and am having same issue with GPS as Seabass. Crimson looks pretty cool though.
I guess you can order i thru customer care however stores dont have it yet.
Anyone have base pricing on the 8310 vs. the 8300?
I bought the 8300 a few weeks back, and now I’m wondering if I can swap it out for an 8310.
Reinstall of GGmaps did it for me and BBmaps works 2.
a tip for those of you having a problem with getting that first GPS fix…
First go outside (open sky)… then go to options/advanced options/GPS, then click menu button, and select “Refresh GPS”
The first time can take up to 4 minutes (but usually a lot less)
NO Wifi, but it has GPS, WTF ?
Whats the scoop on a 3G, Wifi, GPS BB on AT&T’s network? does anyone know?
TIA
still edge?
waiting for your review, Boy Genius… it’d be an interesting read as BG likes nothing better than put a dent on RIM…
@Michael
The 8300 is EDGE/camera
The 8310 is EDGE/GPS/camera
The 8800 is EDGE/GPS
The 8820 is EDGE/Wi-Fi/GPS
Thank you, guess 3G is a ways down the road?
I purchased one yesterday afternoon through Telesales. Had to check to make sure that it was the Curve 8310 (took awhile). The local stores (LA) only have the red one; wanted the Titanium one.
How far off do you think an 83xx with camera/wifi/gps is? I’m 75% sold on the 8310, but I don’t want to do it if another 83xx with everything in it is going to drop later this year.
I have to choose between the 8300 and the 8800 — any thoughts?
The tradeoff seems to be camera/smaller size for 8300 and GPS for the 8800, as far as I can tell. Anything else? what would you guys pick?
Bought the curve 9/20 – found out they were coming out with the 8310 in RED!!! The red came in on 10/18 – traded it in on 10/19 – just before my 30 days were up! Same exact cost. I love it!!
i need to know the difference betwwen BlackBerry® Curve 8310 – Red and the blackberry curve 8300 wats there pros and cons for cingular Thanks wanna buy the Curve 8300 but i like the red any diff
OMG!!! the curve is the best one out of them all. i was deciding between the curve, the pearl or a black jack. the blackjack is uglyier and doesnt have a scroll and its to busnissy, the pearl is too small and its hard to text and it cam out earlier then the curve so the curve has better features and the curve is easy to text pretty and perfect size!! get the curve its the best!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SPEED OF THE INTERNET ON BB’S? SINCE THEY ARE ONLY EDGE AND NOT 3G IS THERE ANY NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BBS AND 3G DEVICES LIKE PALM TILT ETC????
THANKS
