I had the Blackberry curve 8520 and loved it, it was my first blackberry and I loved everything about it. I still liked blackberries when I was offered this one (the 9300) on a contract in February 2012 and now a year on with a year to go, I dislike it. I still like how easy the blackberry is to use and I love the QWERTY keyboard but the couple of good points I have towards it are outcast-ed by the bad points. For starters, In my opinion the camera is not a good one, the quality is not bad but I find it very dark, in all fairness it doesn't have a flash therefore obviously you can't take pictures in the dark but even inside the house the pictures are still darker than I feel they should be. I have a 2GB memory card in it and have used about 1gb of this and I don't know if this contributes to the fact that it seems to freeze a lot of the time and also when I try and load websites 70% of the time it comes up with 'page to large to load, closing page' and then the internet shuts down. I also have problems with the battery not lasting more than a day and i'm not sure if this is because of the way I used to give it small charges etc but a phone battery should really last more than a day I think.
