The reception has always been great for me . I even had reception in Haiti The only time I have a problem is on Cruise ships .

I love it because I can do everything with it. I can send /check e-mail , go online , send text and video ( which I never do though) ,and get a reminder of all my appointments that I would probably forget most days.

Wow!!!! Thanks for the great info!

I pay $19.99 extra per month which is required by Blackberry, however my service is through T-Mobile. The internet on it is great and so is the e-mail...and I love texting on it! The service on it is wonderful too. I have never once had it cut out or "break up" on me. It's crystal clear! I recommended that my sister get one when she was shopping for a new cell phone and she got her Blackberry a few months ago and LOVES it! She can't put it down, LOL. She always said that "a cell phone is a cell phone" - as long as it worked she didn't care what kind it was, etc. - but she swears that she will never own anything else but a Blackberry from now on It's just a great phone! I also love that you can download (which I have ) Facebook and MySpace for it

P.S. - We have Blackberry Curve's

Great!!! Thanks Brooke! That helps alot too! I love to txt and take pictures, I don't use my phone for online right now but if I'm paying for it....I sure would use it for email and YT

What about reception in the boonies? Did you have Verizon?

Thanks so much!!!! I live in the woods LOL This is when it stinks...when you can't get high speed internet and reception from cell phones! LOL other than that country living is great! haha

You're so welcome girl!! And you mentioned that you liked to take pictures...I totally forgot to mention that - the Blackberry has a GREAT camera on it! It takes the clearest pictures of ANY cell phone I have ever had. I am just amazed at some of the shots that I am able to get with this phone It's so easy to take a picture and e-mail it right from your phone too I set up my Yahoo e-mail account on my Blackberry and it is easy breezy!

Also the Blackberry Messenger on it is wonderful! I use this all the time. It also comes pre-loaded with Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, and Good Talk.

And as far as the internet goes on it, well....that is wonderful too! In fact, I was just on YT on it this morning because my computer was giving me problems (hubby has since fixed it cause you know he's the computer guy LOL) - but the internet is really fast on it. I bid on eBay from my Blackberry all the time I just LOVE this phone!!

P.S. - You should see some of the covers/faceplates for this baby on eBay - OH MY I got 2 for Christmas and they are sooooo cute! They are all blinged out with crystals! I got the leopard and zebra one And I want the Martini one next!

That IS a great pic! How do you like the storm??? I've heard mixed reviews. how is the all touch screen?

I would DIE without my Blackberry!!!!!!! I had a Pearl, then got the Curve, then had the Storm for about a week (hated it) then got a new Curve. It's pink I LOVE IT!! I have fantastic service through Verizon. Last year when we went to NC we went to my FIL's cabin in the the mountains (western NC) and I was the only one with service (despite hubby having Verizon as well). I just sat around and yorkie talked because I was so bored

GET ONE!!!!!
