Got a curve. Best phone I've ever had (upgraded from a razr, so that ain't saying much!) Mines one with GPS on it. Wish I got the one with wi fi.
Hopefully, when it's time to upgrade I will get a Bold, it has both.

The Curve has the highest radiation emission of all smartphones. If you keep it next to your nuts, be prepared for two-headed mutant children. And if you don't use a headset, then tumor city in a few years.

can anyone tell what the difference is between the new blackberry bold that's coming out and the blackberry curve 8330, i've looked at the specs but i'm not seeing the difference?

Neb that's sounds very troubling.

yeah, you (and several million other users) really seem "troubled" by this as you reach for your credit card...

*hugs*...send pictures of the mutants...

Actually it's 5th highest, but that's still worth noting...I was getting excited for the Bold. :-/

My company has a mixed environment of blackberries and iphones. My advice is to wait for the 3g/iphone 2.0 coming out in June. It will have comparable business class applications and is a nicer overall package than the blackberries. I have a Pearl BTW, and it just has some things I can't live with.

fuck these things.

more and more I see kids hanging out in groups and NOBODY is talking to each other but they're ALL texting away. society's getting weird, as far as I can tell it's not porn either, it's some dissociative culture of non-verbal, non-personal communication.

Welcome to the group, can I get you a cup of tea?

Speaking of the iPhone, I'll just say that I *hate* the touchscreen. I like buttons, what can I say? It would be badass if it could open and swivel around so the touchscreen becomes just a screen with a QWERTY below it like the enV or Voyager...like a tablet pc I guess...

I teach guitar, and sliding that playback slider to rewind (when figuring out songs in lessons) is a major PITA! I thought the iPod was a hassle, with having to click to go into "search" mode every damn time...but on the iPhone the slightest movement rewinds you a huge amount. Not cool for learning licks!

rant over

Cell phones are pissing me off in general, because I feel like the technology should be farther ahead than it is by now...

I agree 100 percent with your observation sir. Gota love the perks of being a brainwashed slave.
