- BlackBerry Curve 8310 Smartphone Titanium (AT&T)

BlackBerry Curve 8310 Smartphone Titanium (AT&T)<br />Other products by BlackBerry


This is my first Blackberry. Two years ago I bought a Razr (Cingular) on Amazon, my two year contract had been fulfilled and I was on a month to month. I was concerned about the "fine print" in Amazon's description and read other postings online from folks wondering if they would qualify. I emailed Amazon as well as AT&T and received confirmation that yes, I would qualify if I renewed a two year contract. So, having been hesitant about giving up my beloved Razr, I went for the Blackberry. And am I happy about that decision! The first few days I couldn't receive email (there was a glitch on the Blackberry end) but the wonderful customer service people at AT&T helped me resolve it. (Prior to the Razr, I had been a Verizon customer for many years, I totally think that Cingular/AT&T service is a kazillion times better). I have downloaded a great free ringtone from www.crackberry.com, transferred some music files (it sounds great, and I'm a 57 year old female addicted to my iPod); the voice sound quality is much better on the phone than the Razr. I was concerned I would have to pull out my reading glasses every time I got an email but I reset the typeface to a larger font and hey, "no problemo". I also transferred all of my Outlook Contacts and Calendar and it's convenient having that info handy. I also like the voice dialing, which is useful when you're driving, plus it will auto dial a number plus the extension. So, if it sounds like I'm having a love affair, I am! I am totally enamored with my new Blackberry. Hope I am still into gadgets when I'm 90! Kudos to Amazon and Cingular/AT&T.
