I am typing this on my bb curve right now whilst sitting in a restaurabt in Manhattan. Don't hesitate, get the curve.

[@elephantricity]

I pick Verizon over Sprint because Verizon has better coverage hands down. Sure, the phones DO lack, but you CANNOT beat Verizon coverage, which is what is most important to me.

[@kiwisgoquack]

i love my blackberry curve :) i got it in silver for my birthday and i absolutely love it

[@ladyvee7110]

I'm glad I'm getting this phone with Sprint..

[@ItialianMonkie]

for watching videos on youtube on the sprint one, for it to be full full screen mode, you have to click on the picture of the video rather then the watch video text.

[@jcannon6]

I pick he Verizon curve over the Sprint Curve. It is good that the features were explained, but there are going to be people who like one and people who like the other...

[@MightyIronHead]

I just got an upgrade and chose the curve over the storm, because i not liking all of the touch screens and unreliable. But i love the curve

[@WildBoy454]

Very Good for first time users.

[@demover7]

this is a great phone...it was one of the best phones last year. the hero is also a great phone..there totally different so u cant really compare them. but like i said there both great!

[@dllndvs]

it depends on wat u want if ur a heavy texter/emailer/instant messenger on ur fone then u should definitley get the curve

[@daveskater94]

great review and btw explosions in the sky is the best

[@thatgirlray]

Marie Digby! Love her!

[@ayejennay]

he was wrong. you can get instant messaging on here for the verizon one, you just have to download the app for it. the guy at the store downloading it for me because i asked for it, so just take it in the store or before you buy it you can ask for them to put it on there for you.

[@xxxMOSSYOAKxxx]

good vid for sprint veiwers, but u have a huge bias. the verizon curve has an app gallery once u purchaser the phone. there is thousands on apps. every verizon clerk has told me that. u had a huge bias though. im not sayin it was a bad video. it was very informal. thanks

[@mrdoomsday77]

I'm thinking of getting the Curve through Sprint, but the one thing that makes me nervous is that I always see them without the track ball. How easy is it for that thing to fall off? Even if I get the insurance, I don't want to be without a phone because I'm waiting for a new one. I live in the mountains and if i get stranded on the road, there is no businesses around that I could even ask if I could use their phone.

[@OmegaWolf747]

Are they actually saying that even if a VZW user downloaded the AIM app, it wouldn't work on their Berry?

[@otoernest]

@kill3rsoda o yes it does matter it need to be from boost mobile but i guess if u get the sprint one it wud work too cuz they both the same company

[@MsGONZALEZ93]

yes it has GPS

[@otoernest]

@kill3rsoda u need to have the black berry unlimited plan payin 60 $ a month, but if u have the regular plan payin 50$, then u wud need to change to the black berry plan

[@aaronmaxim]

just got mine in the mail....the volume down key depresses and makes the click sound but the up key is depressed and doesn't click at all. Is this normal or is it a manufacturer defect. They usually both click a bit up and down i would believe from every friggin other phone ever

[@esthef0009]

Well, any phone lags in a non-mobile website

[@mpeters13]

I am not 12, and insist that your insult backfired.

[@brendalovesmariah]

think again its excellent

[@xxcharmed1xx]

how come every blackberry curve video i come to ppl ask if its necessary to get internet?? you might as well look for a diff. phone if you dont want internet on the blackberry curve!

[@AngeLEyes8100]

can you keep the music on and text or email someone on this phone while music is playing in background? also can you type in all caps in a message email or text? thank you

[@ConiferColorado]

I can see a good reason that people would get the verizon phone. If they got better coverage.

[@FlyingSmol]

Yes

[@sexichick404]

I got it free from Wirefly, free activation also

[@fierydragon47]

[@FlyingSmol]

Way over kill in the email area, and multi media is lite. there are better phones for most kids.

[@NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

LMAO @ WHOS WE U KEEP SAYIN WE DONT LIKE IT WHOS WE? AND WHOS WE THAT LIKE THIS MUSIC LMAO

[@otoernest]

danm!! Boost Mobile is doin it big wit this phone pay 60 a month for an unlimited plan woot woot!

[@mpeters13]

I'm done with you. I was, however, referring to this comment: "and you suddenly see why Apple is having such an easy time at giving them a RIM-job (LOL)." If you pulled your head out of your ass, and scrolled up three conversations, you'd see the stupid comment you made. Let's just let this one go paups. It's been three weeks.

[@mpeters13]

I don't care how amazing the iPhone is (god I miss mine so much... sucks horribly). Your insult against RIM failed horrendously.

[@dllndvs]

TOUCH PRO

[@NattyWerewolf]

lol

[@Longussss]

@niuoyera how dare you say that? I am not into getting ripped monthly with those unknown fees, that after many small charges you end up becoming one more of those carriers' victims. Lazy is the one who can not buy a phone, or even pay their phone plan. At checking your age, you just talk bc you have a big mouth.

[@P4P360]

and that would be your opinion,lol

[@mpeters13]

Call me crazy, but someone in a superior position doesn't give rimjobs, that is, of course, unless you like eating ass. Then I suppose the insult makes sense. Apple giving RIM a rimjob doesn't suggest to me the notion that Apple is in a superior position (even though they are.) Is that clear enough?

[@WildBoy454]

idk. Im gettin the Hero this phones trash

[@Turdlehead]

Wow... that made NO sense whatsoever! Bravo! What are you? 12?

[@soulydv]

this is so biased :/

[@raynepco24]

wtf?! are you speaking ENGLISH?!

[@jsiggs23]

boringgg
