Does a LOT but...
By Steph G
I've had the Blackberry Curve 8300 for about a year and a half. It does a lot of things, most of which I haven't had the time to learn. In addition to phone calls, texts, web surfing, and listening to music, I use it for synchronizing MS Outlook's contacts, calendar, memo pad, and tasks between this phone and my desktop PC. Since this phone is for personal use vs. work, I can't synchronize my emails (you need MS Exchange software installed on a server for that). That's one of its downfalls. My old Palm Pilot synchronized emails too.RIM's software does not synch consistently with MS Outlook. I have to re-configure the synchronization about every 10 times I synch the Curve with Outlook. Once you know how to do it (see instructions below), it only takes a couple of minutes. But it's really annoying. The phone in general is not very intuitive/user-friendly, so I strongly recommend against buying this phone unless you are pretty technically savvy. And don't bother with the phone's help files - they rarely answer your questions.On the plus side, it is the perfect size and shape for my hands, small purses, and jean pockets. It is also built very well. I have dropped it on hard surfaces from 4 feet high at least five times and it has survived perfectly -- even when I have to put all the pieces back together. RIM's technical support (which is where I got the synch fix instructions below) is pretty good if you have the patience to navigate their phone system to get to the right person. And you get a native English speaker - yay! The sound quality of phone calls on this phone is excellent. Texting is a piece of cake - the keyboard rocks. The web browser works well.INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIXING MS OUTLOOK AND RIM BLACKBERRY CURVE SYNCH ERRORS:Close Blackberry desktop mgr.Unplug phone.Open Blackberry desktop manager software.Open Synchronize.Configuration tab.Reset configuration.Plug in phone.Configure synch (yes, again).
