1. WOW!

   All I can say is wow. I’ve had touch screen phones that had a mind of their own. This is my first BB and it’s cool. It’s hard to get use to at first, a lot of features and other things. WiFi and other communications that I have not gotten into yet, but I bet it will be nice. Plus I only paid $148.88 for it brand new so I’m cool vs. $500 or more bucks for it.

   This phone sucks. I have gone through 5 phones in one year due to malfunctioning problems and have never dropped it.

   The Blackberry curve is awsome for texting, e-mail, GPS and phone. The internet could be better should improve with 3G.

   I disagree with some of the above. I enjoy the phone very much. My internet works pretty quickly, considering it is just a cell phone. I bought a brand new at a discount price so I can’t aruge there. But I think that the Blackberry Curve is stylish and has many convenient features.

   I have the same complaints as above, but I found the phone to serve other productive needs. My only serious complaint is the lack of support from RIM – Blackberry for Linux. I would strongly like to tether my phone and use it as a modem, but there is no easy way to do this in Linux for numerous reasons. Also to reiterate a STRONG complaint this is supposedly a SMART DEVICE, but the browsing sucks, it simply fails on all accounts; it effectively does not work for surfing the internet, thus the phone is incredibly limited. I loaded another browser – Opera, still suffered issues, and could be provider’s network. Ultimately if a smart phone is supposed to surf the web it should do so easily and not lock up or freeze in the browser. I paid $350 with a $50.00 rebate. I should have gotten another phone; not impressed. I will be closely monitoring other smart phones and their network providers.

   I thought that the phone would be awesome as well but it’s not all that. I and my boyfriend get horrible reception on the phone and the internet does suck. It takes forever to load and when you think its done loading, you end up on the same page. I think that they over priced the phone because there’s cheaper phones out there that can do the same or better. It’s not worth paying that amount of money for it. Also, if you’re a girl, the phone is not for you. My glass screen is all scratched from my earring and the Bluetooth connection sucks. My razor with AT&T was better. Way better. I think the only thing I like about the phone is that it’s that pale gold color. I love that color for the phone. But it’s not worth buying for the color.

   I thought this phone would be really awesome but its average at best. The email is good but the web browser is terrible. It takes very long for pages to load and most of the time they don’t load. Video playback it supposed to be supported but there is no Flash Player and I get an error message every time I try to download a program to support Video and the internet. As far as the internet goes, Google is the only thing that really loads.
