don't have the curve but have the 8700g. I love it. Got it used in excellent condition on ebay and will keep it until my contract is up in March of next year and probably upgrade to the 9000 that is about to come out. Did I mention I love my phone...lol. Having access to the real internet, email, and the qwerty keyboard is invaluable.

This is what I have had since Dec. 06. Even today the phone is excellent with communicating with my corporate office and clients. Also does all my personal things just as messaging and e-mail as well.

Does everything all the other Blackberry phones do but in a much smaller size.

I've changed phones a lot before this but never been as satisfied as with this. Highly recommended.

I loved my BB ever since I got into office work. One thing I can say that is an extremely hard phone to brick. I d-loaded tons and tons of software onto all three of my BB phones (7130, 8703, 7250-Sprint) and only had one totally go kaput on me (7130)

but....times change I've been in love with the HTC touch for about 6 months after a small flirt with the iphone.

I agree. The option for customization is pretty big as well such as theme installation and what not.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

pretty big?
Ha try darn near limitless.....just because of the craze over the iphone I was lured into "iphonification" but I won't go into detail. Don't wanna derail the thread.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

Its my job to program and troubleshoot and distribute Sprint blackberry's to employees at my company.

Until now i never gave them a hard look but they are seriously nice phones. As someone said you can DL alot on them without issues.

Well I have the 8830 world edition that they gave me free as apart of the job, and it does just about everything, but they are extremely nice and reliable phones.

how'd you go to the iphone and then back to the touch? did you switch from sprint and then back to sprint?

I've got the 8703e and it's pretty nice... very sturdy but that also makes it more bulky (gotta wear it on the hip... can slide the curve in your pocket). It also doesn't have the roller or a camera but the curve also came out after it so I think it's the natural progression. As far as the BB itself, like others have said, does everything, very customizable, keypad is nice, etc.

Sprint is due to come out with their answer to the iphone at the end of the month if you can hold off a couple of weeks to give it a look. I've also been checking out the touch recently, but I'm not completely sold on the touch screen over the keypad.

Yeah I was looking into a separate phone for myself away from the company line.

Everyone was going iphone crazy and I jumped on the bandwagon wasn't really too impressed after being spoiled by the BB, I need some word processing and email apps that actually work FOR you not just a new shiny ipod I could make phone calls on.

So around the same time the touch was released, so I took the iphone back canceled the ATT (they gave me a 2 week grace period) and just got a upgrade to the Touch for home and work and from being a loyal Sprint customer I got the new LG Rumor for Wifey on the everything plan for really cheap.

EDIT: Oh and I've also been looking at the new HTC phone I think its called Diamond might be mistaken looks pretty but I'm not going to jump at anything new until this whole Google Android and WiMax is more fleshed out.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I still plan on getting the touch. Mind giving a little run down on it?



edit, just saw the diamond. okay now im torn between the touch and this thing.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

I have the same one as Altimus - and am very pleased with it. Not to mention I have dropped the thing a few times and it has yet to explode into a million pieces like my last Blackberry. Bonus points for it not looking like a freakin shortwave radio like my last BB as well.

Re: The Official BlackBerry Thread

Yeah that one Altimus has is a blackberry pearl. It's smaller with a camera on it
