I just ordered mine through Sprint. They said I could keep my original plan with them and just get the blackberry and for $30 add unlimited web & messaging, which includes everything except GPS. Does anyone else have sprint? Are you doing something like what I am? If so, are you happy with all the features?

I have mine through Sprint, with the Blackberry plan that does not include Sprint navigation unless you purchase it, but if you go to www.crackberry.com you can find out how to get google mobile app, which includes driving directions, for free.

I think the sprint one looks way more professional.That is the only good thing about sprint,lol.I tested it in the store a while ago and the only bad thing about it was the ball in the middle.It gets annoying sometimes.Before you buy it I would test it out to make sure the scroll-ball is OK with you.I am not to fond of it, but I am still going to get it November 1st.

"Apple 1" just made my day lol. anyway i hate this phone. i had it for at&t and it was crap. i got the blackjack ii instead and i love it. i had the blackberry curve for around 2 months and i begged at&t to switch it for the blackjack ii and ive had my blackjack for about 5 months and i love it! its so much faster, easier, and way more fun! The blackberry is a business/boring phone, and the blackjack ii is a fun/entertaining/business phone. thanks for reading :]

I think the blackberry curve is a great phone but one bad thing you can send picture mail without getting a the person e-mail address that totally sucks. i have the red and it only been 3weeks and i realize i can sent pics so i call sprint they told me that i have to get each carrier e-mail example T-mobile # then tmomail.com then i can send a picture so i am going to change for the Samsung Insinct

Oct 21, 2008 - PO5TA :

I GOT A BLACKBERRY PEARL AND I LOVE, IM GOIN 2 GET THA CURVE IN A MINUTE LOOKS HOT.

Oct 28, 2008 - john maccain :

i bet that edge have no knowledge of the curve. Or he is simply lying because he has no life.

I am a blackberry dealer. They are great devices, but they have problems just like any other phone. There is no good cell phone. They all break down just as much as the other mostly. Blackberry's are great though. I have a curve myself and it's great. The Blackberry maps function is awesome. As well the push e-mail function is handy as well. The blackberry messenger is great. As well the option to pin message is great!

Sprint service, both customer and cell service, SUCKS. I do not recomment Sprint to anyone. But, like most everyone else who commented, I do love the BlackBerry device. This phone is amazing. And yes, Apple1, I love how 10 people get mad xD! And I have no idea why answering 2+3 is required... probably so computers can't write random messages here... Okay. That's all I have to say :) Thank you for reading!
