Guys kind of goodbye...

[plunker]

I may check in here but I made the switch to a bb curve with sprint... I have really enjoyed the forum and may still lurk (kind of like Steve) around here and the 650 forum. I feel like I know some of the long time posters here and I will always remember the good advice.

Doll face break down and upgrade Hubby to the newest and latest instead of your hand me downs. Only and last advice given here....

That will never happen. A woman who is a tech freak like her has no problems in letting her man have the lesser...

oh you guys........... I bought my dear husband a new 755 last fall and he just loves it. We are both speeding along on EVDO. So Plunker, how is blackberry land? May I ask what you have to pay extra monthly for the BB plan? Do you like it so far.

[plunker]

Nothing extra with sprint to use the curve with my simply everything family plan. There may be a fee to use the blackberry enterprise server (business based) but the Blackberry internet is included or the same as sprint. I never really polled my mail before but the push email works really well. I miss my touch screen on the palm with games but the trackball/curser works well and the more I use it the easier it is.

The phone itself is awesome. The pages load faster on the net and on the device. You have to get back into the windows type menus with the phone. I really like when you leave a screen or app and you reopen it, you are at the screen you were on before you left.

I think the curve is popular but there is a new blackberry (touch screen) like the pre coming to sprint but who knows when either device will be here. There is a neat link on crackberry forums homepage called blackberry 101 (i believe it is that) that basically walks you through the phone phone from setting up email to ringtones.

The Blackberry will not put apps on the card. The card is used for data,music, video and tones. But it has like 64 mg or something on the phone.

You do know where Steve roams regularly when not stopping by ET?

I always hate seeing these goodbye messages.

BTW, I had the Curve on AT&T for a while and loved the thing. To this day, one of my favorite keyboards. I can type like the wind on the Curve. The OS can be a bit unruly due to the endless menu structures, but it's a rock solid email device.

update on some wrong info The enter active video is on the blackberry site, help and support enter device and carrier and it starts through the video

[dollface]

So Plunker, whenever you make it back here to read this, can you get some of the same apps for the Curve as you had on the 755? I would probably consider the BB someday, except for some of my beloved Palm apps, that I just can't live without, like Pocket Tunes Deluxe, Slingplayer Mobile, 4Cast, Quick News, etc. also, can you customize the Today screen at all or use 3rd party launchers? Oh, and how good is the camera, I use mine a lot. And the sound quality of the phone on Sprint, is it as clear as on the 755?

I checked with Sprint and I can have two lines on the Everything Data plan which includes Blackberry internet and email, for $129 a month (unlimited data, text, messaging and 1500 minutes a month) that's not bad at all.

Dollface, I have no personal experience with Blackberry devices; however, the wife has had 2 before going to a Centro and likes the Centro better than the BB devices. Anyway, the cost quote above ain't bad, but Blackberry does have email outages and for an email device, it does not compare that well against my Touch Pro. If you like customizing and bunches of 3rd party apps, there are better devices.

[plunker]

I did not use those apps so I am not sure if they offer them or different ones. Crackberry app store and a new blackberry app store kind of like the apple one probably has a pretty good list of them. The plan you mentioned is what I am on. I also have extra phones on it. When my sons Bb required the new plan and I called them because the extra lines caused my bill to be higher than the plan I was on. See discounted the price so my old plan matched the new plan services and costs. Sprint will work with us guys.....

No problems with push mail but I am using sprint/blackberry mail which may or may not be the same as blackberry mail. I will check around about the apps. There are tons of posts daily at crackberry which could be a good or a bad thing.

Chris is Steve at the blackberry forum or with crackberry too??
