BlackBerry Curve 8310 Design and Build

Design and Build

The BlackBerry Curve 8310 is compact and ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in one hand, measuring 107 x 60 x 15.5 mm and weighing a mere 111 grams. Its exterior consists of a sturdy plastic build, typical of the smartphones from that era, with a silver finish that gives it a sleek, professional look. The device is dominated by the physical QWERTY keyboard, which offers tactile feedback—a hallmark of BlackBerry devices that appealed to users who preferred typing long emails or text messages with precision. The iconic trackball located above the keyboard facilitates smooth navigation through the interface.
