I have fantastic service through Verizon.

I just sat around and yorkie talked because I was so bored

GET ONE!!!!!

Thanks!!! Can I ask why you hated the storm???

Oh of course. I love touch screens, but the Storm touch screen just isn't for me. To me, if I am going to have to push the screen all the way in like you do with the Storm, I might as well just push a button. Also, the screen was always all grimy from being touched all over- go figure

Go and play with one at the Verizon store then you can see if you like it or not. The great thing also about Verizon is that you can exchange something within 30 days as long as it's in fantastic condition. You will know in a few days if you like it or not

Ok, you guys had me checking them out at the store LOL I played with the storm but I think I better just stay away from touch screens. I have the Krave right now and its a touch and to txt is hard. I always make mistakes.

The girl working just got the curve 2 wks ago and she said the same as you all and she loves it too.

Do you find the internet fast? Are the buttoms small to manuver? Will I be able to get my yahoo mail and yahoo messanger on it?

Thanks everyone for your help!!!!

Now I need to figure out if spending 29.99 extra is going to be worth it. Is it????

Yes! It is totally worth it! The internet isn't as fast as mine at home but it's pretty darn great. I always have it on YT and check in whenever I want. It's fantastic. And yes you can get your yahoo mail. I have a special yahoo mail icon and everything. I don't do yahoo messanger so I don't know about that.

Trust me, once you have your internet and e-mail right at your fingertips whenever you want it, you'll never go back

Yeah, I am not a touch screen person myself. I know some people are, but I'm just not one of them. I have a HUGE pet peeve about cell phone screens being all "smudgy" with fingerprints, so I know a touch screen would end up driving me crazy LOL.

The internet on my Blackberry is fast, yes mam! As I said, I bid and buy on eBay from my phone all the time

The buttons aren't hard for *ME* to move maneuver at all - but that is just me - maybe others will chime in with their opinions on it too, although I personally have never known anyone with a BB Curve to complain about the buttons.

YES you will most definitely be able to set up your Yahoo e-mail account on your Blackberry! In fact, that is exactly how mine is set up I use ONLY Yahoo mail so it was extremely important to me that I would be able to set up my Yahoo mail account on my Blackberry - I did, and it was a breeze

Yahoo Messenger should already be installed on your Blackberry when you receive it. Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Blackberry Messenger (LOVE this! ), MSN Messenger and Google Talk all came pre-installed on my Blackberry.

As for the extra $29.99 pet month - YES I absolutely think it's worth it! I am with T-Mobile so I am only paying $19.99 a month extra for the Blackberry service, however, I *HAVE* to have my Blackberry - so I would pay their fee no matter what!

Go get ya one girl....I think you'll LOVE it!

Thanks!!!!!! So do you get good reception? Do you ever go in rual areas, deep country and still have reception? Lost calls?

So far everyone just loves their Blackberries! I'm impressed!

[stedmansmommy]

I don't have a pink one, mine is just silver It's ok thought cause I think the past 2 or 3 cell phones I've had have been pink LOL. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE pink (it's my favorite color!) but I *always* have a cover on my phone anyway, so you don't even see what color it is. I don't even think they had the pink Blackberry's out when I got mine. BUT - pink is the best color ever lol...so if you want the pink, then I say go for it! You can't EVER go wrong with PINK

I have the crimson red AT&T BB Curve and love it. I got the Pearl first and exchanged it after a few days. I was upgrading from a Razor and wanted a bigger screen and full keyboard. It is never more than a few feet away from me at ALL times. I even keep it on my nightstand as a backup alarm clock. It works in the Louisiana and Texas piney woods where others wouldn't.

My daughter just got the Verizon BB Storm and seems to love it. It is the first Verizon phone to work in our house (in the boonies, outside Houston), as we have a metal roof.

I sometimes cringe at the extra $, but it's worth it. I turned off call waiting on the home phone, turned in two TV cable boxes, and changed a few other things around the house to make me feel better about the cost.

I just got the Blackberry Storm and I am completely addicted to it. My plan runs around $100/month, my employer splits the cost with me. I get good reception.

That's the one that I will probably get next whenever I am due for an upgrade. Have you ever owned a Curve before? If so, is there much difference between them?
