I finally upgraded to a smar phone. I decided to get the BlackBerry curve, and so far I am in love. I decided to write up a little pro/con article — since I could not find any genuine ones on the internet when I was looking into buying it. For those who are curious — I have the phone with Verizon Wireless.

Pros:

• Full QWERTY keyboard
• Email and internet anywhere and everywhere
• Phone is light in weight
• Easy to use

Cons

• The 8330 (newest curve), has a bug where you cannot use Roxio Media Manager. It does not detect the phone. This means you cannot transfer pictures/music/ringtones to the phone. RIM says that they are currently working on a fix. An easy solution is to buy a microSD card for the phone.
• the QWERTY keyboard takes some time to get used to, but works wonders in the end.
• Larger than most cell phones, but still light in weight

It is a great phone, and I would suggest it to anyone who is interested in buying a smart phone. I like BlackBerry better than PALM phones, because BlackBerry does not have a touch screen. After having an iPod Touch for a few months — I am sick of a touch screen. Windows Mobile on PALM phones is also fairly unstable.
