The only problem I have had with my Blackberry was when we evacuated for Gustav.....guess that was to be expected though
. I have not had a problem since or before. I can actually say through ATT they do add a charge for customers with a Blackberry phone but it is not that much; especially if you already have a family plan with all the goodies applied to your phone bill (ie......me....with three kids)....lol. As a matter of fact, my oldest son wants a Blackberry Pearl. I am sure he will be getting that soon; and if the thread is still open I can let you know how it goes. However, from my point of view I love the Curve. I can download my ringtones and make them the way I want on my music site then send them mms and I am good to go. I have a pretty good bit of memory as well; and I never have a problem knowing where my ringtones go. I know someone (while transferring music via bluetooth) can't find out where their ringtones go
. However, mine is quite easy
. I hope this helps some!
