 Great smart phone June 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this BlackBerry. The wifi card is huge for me - don't have to pay for my minutes when I talk at home. I get very poor cellular signals where I live so this phone allows me to get reception anywhere in my house since I am connecting over wifi.
I might wait to see how the iPhone 3G is once it comes out. The application store on the iPhone is going to be great.
But I still dont know if that will be better an the great keyword on this Curve.

Great phone!!! June 19, 2008

I just got this phone and for the money(or should I say lack of money since you MAKE money on this phone) it's awesome!! In the store it costs $150 where here at Amazon you make $50!!! This is my first blackberry and I will admit it does take some getting used to coming from a non smart phone. But after a day or two you get real used to it and now I love it!! I love the keyboard and autotext is great!! I pay the 9.99 for email only (when you get this phone on Amazon they make you get either the email (9.99) or email/unlim internet (19.99) and I love having my email pused to my phone. I don't use my text anymore and have gotten most of my friends to use email all day instead of texting to stay in touch. The unlim email is cheaper than unlim text!! And paying only $10 more to get the unlim internet is not too shabby either (compared to other carriers this is a steal actually) The reason I don't pay the extra ten is cause it has wi-fi so I can browse w/ that if I need to. Just gotta find a wi-fi signal tho. Haveing the wi-fi is awesome too cause you can use UMA. I used to have the ATT Curve and it didn't have wi-fi but GPS. It would be awesome if this phone had GPS also, but for it all you'll have to wait for the Bold. But you can buy a GPS puck for prolly $50 and link it to your phone w/ bluetooth and get unlim GPS also! Now here are my few complaints about this phone: 1) after I had it about a week it started to creek, like it's made of cheap plastic; I now use my OEM skin and have applied a Best Skins Ever also, 2) the alarm function on the phone sux; it works but very basic; 3) no HTML email (even tho this will come w/ OS 4.5). Besides those things I love the phone!!!
Very satisfied June 17, 2008

This phone is amazing. Even the small quarks people complain about are being fixed with the new OS update, 4.5, and aren't even that bad. Whether it be the great 2 mp camera, or the very high quality speaker, one of the best for any phone, this hand-held device clears out all the rest. Even when being compared to devices like the iPhone, without the price being a factor, this phone wins hands down. You can buy added flash memory if needed, and the software that comes with allows you to quickly back up all your information on to your computer, freeing up tons of space. The navigation and operating system is smooth and easy to use. A free, but not very good, maps service is installed, with no GPS, but it is still handy and going to be improved with the OS update. Video and picture recording with the 4.5 OS, and a great appearance leaves this one of, if not the best, phone out there. Soon to be replaced and competing with the BlackBerry Bold, this phone will hold its ground to the newest RIM device, sporting a clean and appealing look, as well as interface. It seems, the more you get to know this phone, the more you like it. All the options available, the only complaint left is the simple, no SMS signature installed. After market programs allow you to fix even that problem. There is a minor media player problem where some of your songs don't show up, but that is going to be fixed along with 4.5.
There is not much else to say after that other than, I Love This Phone.
Real Estate Must Have! June 3, 2008

This phone was the answer to almost all of my needs! Being in the Real Estate Industry, I rely on always being available.....and when I cannot be available I must still be in contact with the working world. This phone lets me keep up on employees and others I work with while I am out. Responding to clients needs is very simple and they appreciate me being able to get a hold of them and to respond to requests in minutes! Taking a few hours off to golf and not feeling guilty! I am literally still in the office with full access to all of my documents, contacts, tasks, calendars and more!
The camera on this is great. Not close to a Nikon and definitely would not use for property photos for advertising, but driving by a smoking deal and being able to send the mls info and some "decent" quality pictures to a client to get the "OK" is priceless.
For those whom have primarily EMAIL needs, do not even try others. Blackberry has nailed it as they always have. I have been through countless Blackjacks, Dash's, Wizards, Pocket Pc's, Treo's and others and no one can compare to Blackberry's instant email push. Don't hesitate; the only decision is what blackberry you want.

I purchased my first blackberry (Pearl) back in September of 07 in preparation for our wedding in Italy. I needed something reliable so the folks traveling with us would be able to reach us. I originally considered a Treo but after reading some reviews, it stated this phone will not work internationally. I'm not certain if this is true but the review that I read sounded pretty legit so I decided on a blackberry.
I'm glad that I chose the blackberry and T Mobile. My phone worked great throughout our entire trip (both the voice and web). In fact, the web browser worked better in Italy than it does here in the states. The response was fast and the signal was strong. The phone calls were clear and I was able to maintain a signal most of the time I needed to make/receive a call.
We traveled throughout Italy (Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, Venice, Florence and throughout Tuscany) without any problems. I even used the camera in the phone to take pictures in Pompeii b/c my husband left our camera in the car :) .. the pictures came out great!
I can't recommend a blackberry and T Mobile enough for international travel. The other folks traveling with us were not so lucky as their phones and/or carrier was not as reliable (even though some were using the 'most reliable network').
The research that I did paid off so much so that we purchased our second blackberry with T Mobile service. The difference in the Pearl vs. Curve is size and the keyboard.
I will say that the keyboard on the Pearl is challenging - especially if you need to call a number that is given as a word. A normal phone has the 2 with ABC, 3 with DEF, etc.. the Pearl is not that way. The 2 has TY, the 3 has UI so you have to sit and think about what number the corresponding letter is associated with in order to make the call.
It takes a bit getting used to and I wasn't so sure I liked the Pearl prior to leaving for Italy. Once I got there and learned how to use it, it's been great. I don't see myself returning to a regular mobile phone in the future - having all the options the blackberry includes is addicting.
Even my dad got into it and couldn't resist checking the baseball scores everyday and getting the American headlines from the web.
If you travel internationally, I don't think you can beat the blackberry and T Mobile. Back here in the states, I have found some coverage spots that aren't great but I suffer through it as no carrier has superior coverage.
The folks at T Mobile are always very friendly and professional and I experienced no problems with my phone or their service.
