Blackberry Curve 8110 - Mobile Phone Reviews with Phone Critic

An excellent little phone, with some very nice features. It automatically locks the keyboard when slid into its holster, and automatically adjusts screen brightness to compensate for high or low light conditions. The keyboard is a bit tiny and takes a little getting used to, but is fine for texts and short emails. it would get tedious writing anything longer, though.

Battery life is superb, with several days available between charges, even with reasonable use.

Internet isnt much good, and it is fiddly to enter web addresses as you need to turn off predictive text first (and remember how you do that!)

The Vodafone SatNav application supposedly bundled with it wasnt! However, a little time spent on the phone to customer services resolved that, and one installed it works a treat, even in the car. A bonus is the excellent traffic avoidance, which isnt paranoid like some systems that route you round non existent situations - this one genuinely works.

Its main feature is push email, with emails appearing on your phone as soon as they are received, without having to download them. A vibrating alert tells you a new mail has arrived, with a flashing red light.

Being able to deal with the office email when out of the office is a boon!

The camera, though not the best, takes a reasonable picture - certainly the best Ive seen so far on a mobile.

The calendar interfaces nicely with Outlook too.

Highly recommended, though perhaps if I had the choice, i would have looked at the chunkier Blackberrys
