The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 is a 2G-based PDA smartphone released in August 2007 as an upgrade from the original Curve 8300 (May 2007). Available in red and titanium, the Curve 8310 adds along built-in GPS capabilities, while maintaining its predecessors’ every other feature, including quad-band GSM connectivity, an integrated audio/visual player, and a 2MP camera that unfortunately does not support video capture. Like its predecessor, the Curve 8310 features the Blackberry OS operating system, as well as instant messaging capabilities and, even more importantly, compatibility with advanced communications services like Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus, and Novell GroupWise, to name a few. Plus the Curve supports Bluetooth wireless technology, object exchange, and dial-up networking, meaning it can be used as a wireless modem for one's laptop.
