Curve 9320 Smartphone - Black

I previously owned a Blackberry Bold 9700, which I unfortunately lost. I loved the Bold, however after 3 years it was starting to run a bit slow, so I was probably going to buy a new phone within a year anyway. I have a great sim deal so I wanted to keep that and buy another Blackberry. I also use Blackberry protect so the thought of being able to restore all my data was a reason to stick with Blackberry, but I am a loyal Blackberry fan whatever the case. I would have happily bought another Bold, but I wanted to save money so I decided to go for a Curve. I was tempted by the 8520, but I'm so happy I got the 9320. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE The phone looks good overall. The plastic back isn’t as good as some of the sturdier blackberries but it’s still fine. The keyboard is good and initially the raised blackberry, return and call buttons annoyed me but I’ve gotten used to them now. The famous “BBM” button on the side is literally the old shortcut key with BBM written next to it. You can still assign the button to whatever function you want. The screen feels as though it would scratch quite easily and I don’t think the phone would survive being dropped too well (in comparison to my old Bold 9700 which seemed a bit sturdier). I bought a cheap BB leather case for it though and it protects it well. I dislike the lock button on the top of the phone. It’s really easy to touch it by mistake as you put the phone in and out of your pocket, which means often the phone will be unlocked as you walk. You can get round this with a case or by adding a password lock to your screen if it’s a problem. THE PHONE/OS I like OS7, I was used to OS6 on my old bold and OS7 feels a little crisper. A lot of the options and settings are clearer and better divided and there’s more help with setup, security and privacy. Blackberry protect and ID are better integrated into the phone and it just feels like more common sense has been put into everything: there’s an easy option for transferring data to a new blackberry, documents to go is back (I didn’t have it on OS6?) and the setup menu is a lot more user friendly. Email set up and sync works far more efficiently than on my previous phone. I get the impression that someone new to Blackberry would be able to set this up a lot easier than previous blackberries. The signal is really good (I realise that is network/location dependent but I mean there seem to be no problems at the phone end… I have better signal than friends on the same network but who have a different phone). The camera is fine and the flash is a nice addition. Blackberry still haven’t got a great browser though and their app store is nothing compared to Apple or Google, however if you’ve read this far I expect you already knew that. I think a newer version of this phone has been released now hence the price of the 9320 is coming down and shops are trying to get rid of their stock. Don’t let this put you off, I use my phone a lot and this does everything I need at good speeds. If you are deliberating between say the 8520 and this for 20/30 pounds difference definitely spend the extra money!

I used to have sort of a complicated relationship with BBs. I previously owned a Bold 9780 that I found highly disappointing considering its high price tag. When I finally got rid of it I thought I'd never ever get back. I was so wrong! After 6 months of struggling against Android bugs on a QWERTY Samsung Galaxy I finally had to reconsider the BB as a viable option. I needed a phone for texts, chats, mails and all sorts off communications and I hate doing those things on a touchscreen. These are the kind of stuff where the BB OS still has no rivals. Despite all sorts of other flaws, namely the embarassing web browser and the number of useful apps that is close to zero, it is still the best communication OS out there. So this time I decided to go for the cheapest model, and guess what? It rocks! Build quality seems good, the device looks solid and the soft texture of the plastic makes it pleasant to be held in your hand. Moreover, I really like the simple, neat design of it. Despite being the entry level model, it does not look so cheap as previous Curves like i.e. the 8520. The screen is ok, I was aware that the 240x320 resolution would not make it very sharp, the 640x480 display of my previous Bold was gorgeous in comparison to this, but at least on this device the screen is well protected by a robust plastic coating (i.e. you don't see the liquid crystal halo on the screen if you accidentally press it). The keyboard is a pleasure to use. I largely prefer the Curve keyboard, with separated keys, over the Bold one, where the keys are softer and attached. The Camera is ok, it is a 3.2 mpxl with LED flash, but I think it has fixed focus. To be used only if you don't have anything better at hand. Convenience Keys on the side are handy and not too easy to press accidentally. Battery life is ok, the phone makes it to the end of a busy day. Let us say that you can expect to charge it every other day, which is much better than most nowadays phones. The bundle that came with the phone is the standard Curve one: EU and UK USB chargers, USB cable, stereo headset, cd and a couple of leaflets. From the software point of view, OS 7 (this phone comes with 7.1) is virtually identical to OS 6, but it has a few improvements that I appreciate, one above all the Wi-Fi hotspot feature, that I really missed on my previous BB (which had OS 6). It also comes with a DLNA server, for streaming your multimedia stuff over a local network (a feature I am not sure I will ever use, but thanks RIM for the effort). I also noticed some slight improvement in the web browser. It is still pretty clumsy, but I'd say it seems better. Instant messaging apps are as usual very good: I mostly use Gtalk and must say that the BB client is ages better than the original Android one! One thing I hate about this OS is the overwhelming presence of Bing web search. If you want Google, you have to add it manually, to both the web browser and the Universal Search. The phone comes with Office To Go preinstalled for viewing (and editing, I suppose) Office documents. Have not used it so far, but in case you need to open an urgent attachment, you will be able to do it. Apart from these remarks, OS 7 is nothing more and nothing less than its predecessors, which means: an efficient and intuitive interface designed to be operated through the optical scroll device (no need for a touchscreen, really), excellent for communications (texts, emails, IM), ok as a media player, ok for Twitter, poor for Facebook, poor for web surfing. The annoying things are still there too: you still have to pull out the battery to reboot the device, it still takes ages to reboot and you still have to reboot it after most app updates. Shame on you RIM, this feels like Windows 98! By the way, once you install Google Maps, Opera Mini, Dropbox and Poynt you are probably ready to get the most from this device. At this price point I believe this model is good value for money. In my opinion, more expensive models are not worth the premium price tag. I am really satisfied with the build quality of this phone and how it is designed to make you do (most) things quickly. Blackberries have their limits however, so make sure you know what you want from it before buying one. If what you want is an excellent communication device, then go for this one, definitely!

My brother had an Blackberry 8520 for around 4 years and he used it so much, it was virtually an extension of his hand. But it had its limitations, was beginning to fall to bits, and couldn't do a lot of stuff that is now pretty normal. So I got him this one from Amazon (not marketplace) for his birthday. It came quickly, was well packaged, and was appreciably cheaper than that available as PAYG from the main phone companies. When the request for the review came in, I asked my brother for his view. Here it is - "As a long time BB user, updating to this one has made the experience a lot better. Still best for business with a qwerty keyboard that is remarkably easy to use quickly. Extra processing power opens up a lot of web applications that were just not possible on the model I was replacing." So he's pretty happy with it. For the price, build quality is very good and certainly better than the earlier phone. I can also testify that it can put up with a lot of work. He never lets it go ! The keyboard is great (It has to be) and while it will never boast the number of apps that Android or iphones use, it does have a few - such as British Airways - which are pretty useful to him. The maps sure ain't Googlemaps, and they are a bit byzantine to use at first, but once you learn the key shortcuts (downloaded from a google search) they're perfectly usable. Compared with Android (which I use) the Blackberry does seem pretty good value for business users. Am I content with the purchase? He is, so I am.

I have been using BB for the last 3 years, I was very happy with everything. Then I decided to buy a new device and I got the BB Curve 9320. Although it works great, accoding to the specifications, the battery life is unacceptable, it lasted less than 10 hours!! So, on top of the money I spent on this device, I spended few hundreds more and I bought another one in order to carry on me a mobile that actually lasts for 24 hours and of course it was not a BlackBerry one.

It's a good product but not as easy to use as I expected, the screen doesn't have touch function, you have to use a tiny touch pad instead, so compared to touch screen phones it's a step backward. I like the keyboard though, I'm not sure if newer, more expensive Blackberry phones have the touch screen.

Bought for my daughter who prefers a physical keyboard on a phone. Phones which employ an actual keyboard are getting increasingly hard to find so I was pleased to get one of these at a good price. She seems fairly happy with it, since she mostly wants it for the camera and the MP3 capability. It excels at both those roles. However the tech in this phone is showing its age and definitely feels like obsolete technology when compared with even a cheap android phone these days. The browser is very poor. The app store seems to be full of spam/adware apps. Having to pay RIM extra to be able to use data services as well as your network really seems unnecessary since with any other phone you just pay your network provider directly. I can see the appeal, but I can also see why Blackberry are on their way out.

I bought this recently and I love it. I did a lot of researching before buying it and was going to go for the Motorola Defy Mini as I wanted something that could stand a fall. However I changed my mind due to the loud noise it makes when you take a photograph plus its low memory. Then I thought of a Blackberry and thought they were out of my league price wise so I looked just to have a look and came across the range Amazon have for sale. I compared the curve 9230 and 9360 the latter model and although the latter has more features the battery life is less so I went for the 9320 and do not regret it. The battery has lasted 3 days so far, not heavy use I admit but not fully charged either. This little phone has so many features. Some I took off like FaceBook (over rated) Twitter and Microsoft related. I can connect to the Internet with it so I can update it read e-mails but I do that on my machine and it can do many other things except do my laundry and cook. I like it so much that I bought it some accessories to protect it from scratches (screen and camera)and a hard back cover. It is a very light phone but not too small; when you are using it it feels like a phone - you can feel the phone in your hand. On the other hand I am used to texting using only one thumb and fast at it however I am still getting used to where the letters are as I am used to Nokia style keypads. But hay! Not even a Blackberry is perfect! That is why I gave it four stars - it does not do laundry nor cook. On the other hand it is cheaper than a Hyacinth!

Own a Nokia C3 which is trying to behave like a BB, I wanted to upgrade as the Nokia C3 has a mind of its own when used a Bluetooth in the Car, so, having ready many reviews I decided on the Blackberry Curve 9320. First thing it works in the car without the Hiccups the Nokia C3 developed. I love the well built and clever things about the BB9320, it's a classic little beauty and invested in a quality cover. I did read that the Key-Pad was a bit small when trying to speed up typing, but if you use the tips of your fingers, response is excellent. I use PAYG, as I really do not need the To use Internet facilities, anyway I have an iPad and LapTop for all the Internet required. So here I am 70 yrs young and still playing with Toys. I love this BB, so thanks to all the positive Commenters (I usually ignore the the negatives when they are in a minority ) for giving me the confidence to buy this Mobile.

Exelente

Das Handy funktioniert einwandfrei, allerdings war der Akku nach dem auspacken schon leicht aufgebläht und ließ sich dementsprechend nicht mehr aufladen, beim Kauf also am besten gleich noch einen neuen Akku dazu bestellen (Da Amazon den Akku nicht einzeln tauscht und man ansonsten das Gerät zurücksenden müsste) :) Ich gebe trotzdem 5 von 5 Sterne da die Lieferung wie immer schnell Blitzschnell erfolgte und Mir die 10€ für einen neuen Original-Akku nicht weh getan haben.

Il prodotto mi è arrivato nuovo. Ovviamente il BlackBerry Curve 9320 è uno smartphone obsoleto per via delle sue caratteristiche tecniche ed anche per il fatto che non è più supportato. Non si possono installare nuove applicazione dal BB World (il Play Store del blackberry) e senza il BIS, che orami è da anni che non è più disponibile, non si possono più sfruttare appieno le potenzialità di questo dispositivo (non si può usare l'app per le email, no si può usare BB Messanger ed Il browser funziona solo col Wi-Fi). Non dimentichiamo di menzionare che supporta la rete fino al 3G. Cosa si può fare quindi con questo telefonino? SI può chiamare ed inviare SMS, ed anche utilizzare app preinstallate quali la sveglia, il blocco note etc. etc. Perché comprarlo? -Sei un fan nostalgico del blackberry? -Hai sempre voluto un blackberry da piccolo? (io) -Ti piace il design ed il fatto che abbia una tastierina qwerty? (io) -Vuoi un telefonino semplicemente per chiamare/SMS? (io) -O forse vuoi solo un telefonino di emergenza? Prendillo. -E' relativamente economico? (io)
