In a nutshell: The BlackBerry Curve 8300 is an excellent device for keeping in touch with your email whilst out of the office. With extensive push email support and a full QWERTY keypad, emailing on your phone becomes a completely practical possibility. Other features such as a 2 megapixel camera, media player, Bluetooth connectivity and expandable memory complete the package.
The BlackBerry 8300 is exactly the same as the BlackBerry Curve 8310, except that it doesn't have GPS navigation. Read our review of the 8310, since all of the comments apply equally to both phones, apart from this one difference.

We have given the BlackBerry 8300 a slightly lower rating than the 8310 and 8320 since it lacks the more advanced features of these models. Since most people will get it free on contract, why not choose one of the more advanced models instead?
