If you use a magnetic holster with your 8310, you can enable Auto Answer Calls: Out of Holster. It's in the Phone General Options. Unfortunately, how this works is, if your Curve is in the holster when it starts ringing, and you take it out, it will auto answer. If the phone is already out of the holster when it starts ringing, it won't auto answer. This behavior is exactly opposite to what I want. If I have the phone holstered, and it rings and I take it out to see who's calling, it answers whether I want it to or not. I don't use the feature, but it might help you.
