on another note.....I was anti Blackberry until I was forced to get one...
all I can say is I will never own another phone....the Blackberry Curve has out peformed all of my Smartphones combined....I have had Palm and Window based phones and they are nothing compared to a Blackberry.
all the new Blackberry's can be tweaked...tuned to do anything you want....you can create your own themes....I have 2 different GPS programs with TURN BY TURN directions and recalulations on the fly if you make a wrong turn.
I get my work and personal emails on here...most of the time it hits my Blackberry before it hits my Outlook.....
the new Operating system for BB's ( 4.5 OS ) which can be installed by downloading it gives you Full HTML emails......video recorder.....Voice recorder....and a bunch of other things
there are a million applications built for these phones....I have Peekaboo...which traces call back and shows me the # if the number is blocked.....I have Vlingo....which allows me to send an email, text, or surf the internet all by saying a command to the phone....so I can be driving and say SEND TEXT when it ask the name I say the name.....then I say what I want my message to say....then SEND....same with emails....
the only thing the iPhone and G1 have over a BB is the websurfing.....but that wont be the case once the Blackberry Storm. Bold, and Thunder hit the US market....
