Does anybody have a blackberry?

well tonight I found out that I could get any new phone in 27 days instead of waiting until october when my contract is up
So what I was wondering is does anybody have the curve or storm and if so what one do u think is better and would be better for me?

i have the curve, and it's not bad. had a problem with the charge port after about 4 months or so, but they replaced it with a new phone no questions asked for free. i haven't had any problems or complaints with it. really depends what you're looking for i guess.

Florance PM RCMPAYNE He works for blackberry.
umm his e-mail is.. rcmpayne@eastlink.ca

the only issue with the blackberry that i know of is that they charge you data witch is $15 a month from bell/aliant...
and if you go over that you have to pay so much more for the amount of data you used, its all bullshit.
if you wanna go with a smart phone (3g) i recomend getting one of he HTC Phones. they havnt figured out how to charge data yet on them

I have a Storm and love it. I'm currently running OS .109 and it's a lot better than the version that comes on the phone. When Verizon officially releases a newer version and as the phone gets older, it will be much faster. Plus we are supposed to be getting what is equivalent to Apples App. Store I believe this month or next. As REIGN said, check out that thread and also check out crackberry.com. REIGN directed me to this before I got my first blackberry and there's a lot of information on that site.
