We like:
Excellent keyboard and trackball; good screen; built-in sat-nav
We don't like:
No Wi-Fi or 3G support; basic navigation
CNET UK judgement:
It's a shame that the RIM BlackBerry 8310 lacks Wi-Fi and 3G support, but with its slick design, full Qwerty keyboard and excellent messaging software, the handset is still an impressive mobile for emailing. And while the GPS functionality might be rather basic for our liking, it's certainly a handy extra and makes the device even more desirable
