Blackberry

[seahorseinstripe]

i've searched and found no thread on BB, is there any BB user here?
how is it so far?
i'm contemplating in getting this instead of an iphone, the iphone look too trendy for me LOL

i'm thinking of this blackberry curve 8320

I have a Blackberry 8700c. If you're looking for a phone that is durable, user-friendly, and easy to type with, I'd stick with a Blackberry. I would never even consider buying an iPhone, considering its horrid keypad. I had a Curve (8300) for about two weeks, but I couldn't stand it compared to my trusty old 8700c. It lagged a bit. I'm sure that the new Curves will be better, though, I am considering getting a 8320 in August (when my contract expires) as well. Blackberries are #1!!!

I agree... while I was looking for a phone I was truly considering a blackberry. I didn't get one in the end, and even though I love my phone sometimes I wish I did. Anyways, a blackberry is a great phone to own for anyone imo.

My BlackBerry has been my life line for years, I go as far back as the 957 pager models. If your after a secure, stable, solid OS and easy to use device your can't go wrong. The iPhone does offer cool factor but its lacking on the business/corp side and the keyboard is just horrid.

It comes with a mobile browser, but you can download Opera Mini for free, which is a full web browser. I leave my mobile browser's emulation mode on Microsoft IE so that I can still access everything as if it were a normal webpage.

I have a Blackberry Curve and chose it over the iPhone. While initially I wanted the iPhone purely because its much more beautiful, I'm so glad I settled for the Blackberry instead. The keypad of the iPhone is an absolute nightmare, whereas the Blackberry is easy to use, durable and just generally fabulous

I had an iPhone for about 2 months and after my bf got his blackberry I started liking it too.. then I gave the iPhone to my sis and bought myself a Blackberry Curve and love it!

I have the Pink Blackberry Pearl and i absolutely adore it. However, the keyboard was a little difficult at first but now, i would not imagine it any other way!

I have the blackberry curve and it's amazing. Perfect for texting, calling (duh lol), using AIM and playing games. I would definitely recommend it. Of course I still have my eye on the Iphone!
