 Great performer, poor instructions December 7, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is my second Blackberry, and I am very pleased with it's performance and the Color LCD Display is more readable than my older Blackberry.
My web centric wedding photography business is very email dependent. Brides shop on internet sites and expect quick replies from prospective vendors. The Blackberry allows me to reply immediately to their queries.
The Blackberry Curve is more compact than my previous unit, and packs additional integrated software features that are excellent. It has become my morning alarm clock!
Previous Blackberry users will find the command structure very familiar.
The Track Ball is an improvement over the Side mounted Encoder wheel found on older models..
I love the new alert tones in the Curve, although I had to purchase "Blackberry for Dummies" to figure out how to change the sounds.
The weakest link in the Blackberry is the instruction manual. I purchased the Blackberry for Dummies book, which should come packaged with the unit, IMHO.
The tiny keyboard is difficult to read for older eyes in low light. It can be difficult to read the "ALT" characters!
The 5 Alpha-Numeric Password requirement on my Enterprise Server linked Blackberry is a necessary nuisance, which would be valuable, in event of unit loss as the unit will wipe our all user information after a preset number of login failures.
The Camera function is quickly available. The zoom function is cute, but photos are low resolution. Better than no camera, but this is NOT a replacement for a Digital camera.
Purchasers should realize that additional monthly service charges for Blackberry's Server connection and local provider, will increase monthly service charges ($100 per month in my case).
Bottom line: Very compact, rugged, feature rich, and reliable performer!
If you need reliable Email Delivery, this is the unit. It works great on domestic and overseas travels.

 Good phone, bad service December 3, 2007
23 out of 33 found this review helpful
The phone is good, if you didn't get a defect one.
Pro:
* All you need for a smart phone, you can rely on it for your daily management, calling quality is good, camera is not bad either.
Con:
* The first phone I got from T-Mobile is a defect one, it boot itself during the phone call. After checking at BlackberryForums, I found I am not the only one who got this issue. Fortunately T-Mobile did get me a replacement
* The service is bad. After I got my replacement, I noticed T-Mobile charged me two phones price and give me a outstanding balance of more than $500. I called T-Mobile three times and each time the customer rep said they are going to fix it for me, but it didn't happen. I finally asked to speak to the supervisor and he agreed to fix their error after hanging with him for 30 minutes.
* T-Mobile website is bugged. While I am writing this review (Dec 3, 2007 4:53pm Pacific time), T-Mobile website is totally down ([...]). I can not imagine a major telecom provider would have their website totally down...
* Till now I can not set paperless billing since their email verification doesn't work.
I actually don't have confidence on T-Mobile IT capability. I do know they hire some under qualified engineers into their IT dept. Maybe this is my own opinion, but after all these incidents, I feel I might be right on this.
Nice Phone. UMA connectivity needs work November 29, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Curve is a nice phone but RIM / T-Mobile need to work on the UMA connectivity to Wi-Fi. Every once in a while I have to disable and reconnect to the Wi-Fi network to get UMA.
Another disappointment is the loading time while browsing when using Wi-Fi. I have 20mb down / 2mb up on my network yet it takes too long to load pages - not cool.
I expect this technology to improve with time - Overall, I am very happy with the phone. Let's see what Android has in store for us.
The Best Smartphone/Phone out in the market November 29, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have gone through a few smartphones trying to find one that works. The Blackberry Curve is AWESOME! The phone actually works!!! Unlike the Palm Treo that crashes before and after every call(I know that is why I got rid of the Palm Treo 750 and got the Blackberry curve. I now totally understand why people are addicted and become crackberries. If you are in the market for a smartphone that works get a blackberry unlike a Palm Treo you wont be disapointed. Happy Shopping!
LUB it November 28, 2007

this phone roxx.. hav had it for over a week now and just cant seem to get tired of it. It has everything any phone lover would want. A great music system, and trust me, it is loud and clear, a really good camera, with auto adjustable brightness and automatic flash (2 MP), and an expandable slot for memory.
The menu gets a bit getting used to but once you do , you'll love it. This was my first smart Phone and i wasnt disappointed. I used the wifi and surfed the net for over 5 hours a day and the battery lasted me two full days without any problem ( did i add that i made 100 minutes of calls in those two days and with the wi-fi on. )
Apart from that, i love the style of the keyboard, gets your fingers easily on the keys and you can hold it with one hand and type unlike the wing for which you need 2 hands. Also, the curve has also been playing any format of video i've tried on it yet, so i've also been watching movies on the Phone.
The rolling cursor is also very good. Makes it fun and you never get tired of it, like the phones where you hav to constantly be pushing buttons. It's like a mini-mouse. Fun!
Placing calls on wi-fi i heard is really good too but i didnt take it so cant comment much about it. It is fave-5 activated and well, with the 10$ additional if you get the Tspot at home, you'll never run out of minutes!
Cons:
i have to press the keyboard lock button to get the keypad locked or else it could always press a button by itself. Gets tiring at times.
T-mobile's service isnt the greatest in the region. I hav been having problems receiving signals over here. But well, you cant blame the Phone, can u?
Well, that's it! Hard to say it , but i now leave my laptop at home and go to college with the phone. It does alot of work for me, ipod, internet, checking and writing mails..... and all in great quality!
Simply superb Phone
