BlackBerry Curve 8530 (black, Virgin Mobile)

Pros: does a lot, very easy to use well supported unlike the palm centro I recently broke. I love the fact that replacement parts are so easy to find on Amazon so if I ever brake it I can fix it and even customize it!

Cons: battery goes fast if you run a lot of apps(but with a spare battery or 2 and a external charger for thos you can easily have enough juice to keep you going if you cant plug in).

Summary: I miss my touch screen on this at times the track pad works great most of the time but its overly sensitive on Opera mini when browsing. It does lock up from time to time but I do have several apps running on it most of the time such as 2 email accounts, 2 social net working sites, Yahoo chat, and a few other back ground apps for info like weather and such. I don't think I would go back to any other phone brand after having this BB for a few weeks now the extra security Rim packs into these phones is great they do multimedia well you can find apps from many sources it uses flash unlike some other phone. Just a down right well built phone, would love to have a bold or torch after this since they run the BB OS 6 but OS 5 on this one runs very well too. And as I mentioned above this is the first phone I was ever aware of having an external battery charger for them which is really cool. I have read some people have had issues w text and such but I have not had any and the few weeks I have had it I have used it in Los Angeles and in rural Oklahoma and gotten better coverage in those areas than I would with AT&T.
