Got one of these little numbers and have put it through the paces. It is the best B-B I’ve had (and I’ve had em since the 957 that ran on mobletex, friends). It is slim, quick and all-around dependable. Though I miss the GPS a tad from the 8800, this device is better, especially the keyboard. I simply put a BT GPS in the car and BAM! just put a Blackberry skin around it for protection (the RIM Jimmyhat, if you will) and put it in your pocket like a normal phone-it’s fantastic, its so good!

T-Mobile will be getting the 8320 later. It will have WIFI, so they won’t be launching it until after Hot Spot at Home launches.

Does anybody know how long is the exclusive deal for the curve with at&t, and if the curve is going to be put on CDMA networks when the exclusive deal is over?

So sick of hearing about the Curve being available for Rogers, and Cingular…when is it going to be ready for T-Mobile!?! Damn!
For all you waiting on the Iphone it’s coming out on June 29th…on Cingular of course! I am so tempted to switch if only they had better plans! Just curious, what BB plan is everyone getting for their Curve?

Yanno, I dont get Blackberry Desktop Manager. I transfered my settings from my 8800 to my Curve. Sometimes when I restart the phone I get java.illegal.except error. I dunno its being a pain in the rear end.

I ordered one from Cingular’s website tonight. I hope I like it. They keyboard looks great. Always thought they keyboard on my 8700 was a little slippery…

Lief – re: eject o clip!
How right you are.
Last night I dropped something on my ceramic tiled kitchen floor. Bent over to pick the something up… *BINGO* Blackberry ejected out of the plastic holster. I look down and the battery has popped out of the unit, the back plate popped off, and the BB landed face down… Luckily the screen wasn’t cracked. This has happened to me several times…

re: Edge data speed
my opinion -
when you’re surfing web pages on a mobile phone, don’t try to surf big sites like amazon.com or the main page of the Los Angeles Times, etc.
Find the web pages that are formatted for mobile phones. There are lots of them out there. Boy Genius has a good one. It loads on my BB 8700 in a blink of an eye at Edge speeds.

Well BG this was a fun one with last week’s predictions…Anyways it is here now and you always have the big scoops for us, thanks for all your efforts.

I picked one up at my local store here in Santa Cruz, CA this morning (Full Retail). Been updating it and now have it fully running even with Yahoo! Messenger on Cingular/AT&T. It is awesome, BG was right it is much smaller and especially lighter than the 8800 which I was able to sell off today!

TGIF!

I ordered mine yesterday at 7am CST (yep, set the alarm for 5am here in CA)! My first BB. Cannot wait! The lady was nice enough but when I told her what phone I wanted, she said something like “oh, that must be the new Pearl that just came out.” Hmmmm. Not quite, but ah well, it’s coming MOnday.

I called 2 of my local stores the day prior to the release. One lady laughed at me when I asked when it was going to be in. The other person said it’s being released in late July. That was about 12 hours before the release! LOVELY.

In any case, I am DYING to get my hands on this lovely little toy.

EDGE connection is good enough on a blackberry. Its not like it has a WONDERFUL browser that just needs that WiFi, but im sure when it comes out ill be right on the bandwagon for “Papa Bear”

Got mine today! forget about goin from store to store, ordered it from customer sales through at&t. What a pleasant buy, so easy! I’m givin up goin to the stores for anything after this phone launch, I got in touch with the coolest rep over the phone by chance. Took his ex# and I’m never lookin back! Forget the stores, these are the same people that told us the Curve won’t launch untill the end of July! Duh!!!

I find it funny how cingular/at&t employees and customer service reps didn’t know anything about this phone. I’ve been to four places around the Boston Area and every employee I speak to says the same thing, “we got a dummy one for display, but have no idea when we’re getting a shipment.” I WANT MY CURVE!

Edge data is not that bad. The browser on it does a good job of compression. The difference is about like dsl vs cable internet. Yeah cable is faster but neither is too slow.

is the EDGE data painful?

The fun part is reading this from my browser on my new blackberry curve that I picked up yesterday. Love it by the way

Ordered mine today, took me an hour and a half and 4 operators to get an operator that knew what the heck i was talking about. One of them even hung up on me because i was “wasting his time”…but in the end i got what i wanted, should be here tuesday :c)

Time to switch.

Folks,
why are people having such a hard time finding one? If you can wait a dang minute, and be patient, just call Cingular and order one–I ordered mine yesterday, and it will be here Monday.

I think there is no holster since it is supposed to be small enough to put your pocket without looking obscene.

ANYWAYS…Who would want the RIM holster anyway. I call it the “Eject-a-clip.” Your BB does not just spontaniously falls out but actually shoots a foot or two from you. It has just enough hang time for someone to watch you go, “OH NO! (crack) @#$#@!@.”

SEIDIOonline.com Ironclad belt clips. My 8700 has been happy ever after.

I already bought one at full retail…if they wont sell to you its most likely because that store/employees are reserving them for new activations
