Blackberry Users, come hither.

i went from a BB to a iphone and I regret it. granted the iphone has a lot of interesting apps. if you do a lot of texting/emailing, the BB will be the best for you. the palm pre disappoints me and it is sprints last try before they get bought out

The only company that could buy out sprint is Verizon since they are the only one using CDMA. I hope that doesn't happen cause i have the greatest plan with Sprint that i couldn't dream of getting with anyone else.

I have a bb curve (uscc) and I love it. I get my emails, have a talking text app, check my bank statements, browse ca.com. I love it.

Other than it being smaller than the bold and having a better camera, I really don't see anything that screams buy me over the bold.

it is more of a revised version of bold, which means it is newer and better.. I would get this over Bold, thats just me..

You don't know what you are talking about. I got one and it outperforms the iphone I think. It can multitask and run many different apps at the same time. The user interface is slick as hell. I can do many things at once and operate it pretty fast. The card interface is also badass. It syncs with my online email and calendar while updating my contacts also. I like the gesture bar since it has many shorcuts.it took me 3 days to learn how to do everything. Once you know how to do it all you can operate it in blistering speed. It os a great business tool. It has been great for my job. I typed all of this with ease on my palm pre.

well said, i had training on the pre last week and got to spend a good amount of time playing with it. I loved it. will have one shortly.

there are other cdma companies out there, but none big enough to take on sprint. Doubt sprint would ever sell out since they have invested so much in building up their network from the ground up and they are the first to have 4g speeds on the internet.

You would be grandfathered in. I'm with Alltel and my plan is not changing.

dont buy a bold..
Blackberry Tour is coming out this summer..

Check this link out for more info on Tour(9630)

it is supposed to be a nice blackberry which resembles both curve and bold..

the size of the Tour is in middle of curve and bold which makes it perfect and I heard the keyboard is the best on this phone..

Just thought I d tell you what I heard.. I own an iPhone, I am loving it, but I MISS qwerty keyboard BADLY so that is why I was poking around the idea of getting a blackberry again (I had a curve 8330 before, it was nice, very compact and durable) If I was about to get back to blackberry, I will definitely consider Tour..

this phone cant get her quick enough! verizon is scheduled for mid July release and I need to upgrade from the curve but refuse to use that POS blackberry Storm

True, I doubt they are going to be bought out completely, but you may want to watch companies like Clearwire, TimeWarner and Comcast in the near future as all three have been aggressively buying into Sprint stock. Since all four pitched in to father the 4g technology, there may be talks of a merger in the distant future. Read up on this new WiMax (4g) and some of its capabilities. 1080p HD content over a cellular network is quite impressive!

what about the tmobile g1 i have it and i love it.

 

[bad_trip 10+ year member]

I love my Blackberry, and after having it for almost two years now, I wouldn't get anything else.

I still have a Pearl, lol! Really don't even use all of its functions, but has held up thus far.

I will be checking into either the bold or a curve when my plan is up. They want to much to upgrade my phone right now.

Have messed around on both the bold and curve and both are really nice phones. The Storm sucks *** though.......stupid clickable touchscreen.....makes no sense to me.
