I've got a VZW Curve 8330 and love it.It actually keeps me from needing a Laptop.I do everything from my BB.I travel all over the SE US and very rarely have service issues.You really need to spend some time at Crackberry.com.The best resource IMO for anything related to the BB world.I just loaded a new OS on my Curve last night.Picked up a massive amount of new System Memory (which you must actively manage on the Curve). I have alot of Apps on my phone which chew up system memory.I regularly upgrade the OS as they come out from the Carriers.Each successive OS is better and tighter written and produces more free system memory.I like the trackball on the Curve....I can get to almost any application on the phone w/ one hand......great for as many miles as I drive.I'm just not going to try and type and drive...just not worth it in my opinion.Great phone on a great network!!! Thanks! PalBay
