BlackBerry Curve 8530 (black, Virgin Mobile)

Pros: Texting is easy, lots of free apps

Cons: Battery dies way too fast, phone resets itself periodically, battery swells

Summary: Had this phone thru Sprint for a year and a half, and when I first got it, it was fine. But, now I'm on my second battery and about to get a third for it. I have to charge it at least 2-3 times a day, and ever since last Friday, I've had to keep it on the charger so it doesn't reset itself. It will reset, turn back on, and tell me I have no battery left. Come to find out, the battery swells, and that's what happened to mine. Now, I have to wait for a new battery to come in the mail (good thing it didn't cost me anything.) Can't wait to get rid of this piece of junk!
