"This is THE BEST all-around phone out in the US. Period. Read this..."
Pros: Great Price ($199 after rebate), Great sound quality, NEVER FREEZES, great qwerty keyboard, 3G speed, great multitasking (without freezing), stereo bluetooth, expandable, great speaker , etc, etc
Cons: not many adaptors, chargers available
Summary: I have tried many phones, including all of cnet's top rated phones. none of them worked for me. the curve: no fast data (3G), which is so... nice to have. The 8925 tilt, freezes up a lot, hated touch screen, not a one-handed device, keyboard is slow b/c it is spread out too far (and a pain to slide out to get to!), and it was heavy as hell/large; blackjack-keyboard sucks! bad! and froze up constantly! I could go on, but not enough time.
-In summary, I have used all OS's (Treo's, Blackberry, 8925, etc, etc, and all have shortcomings. this device has it ALL (see PROS in my title). It is also expandable with apps, and NEVER FREEZES (this is so key for a smartphone, and all other smartphones I have use freeze up, which is absolutely unacceptable for me for my primary business phone!).
-by the way, killer speakerphone, holy crap, this thing is LOUD for a phone! I listen to mp3's and audio books alot, via stereo bluetooth, which works great!
-I gotta run, but even though this site rates this phone mediocre compared to other phones, believe me, it is not, especially for a "power user" like me. Go to phonescoop.com, and see user reviews there, and you will see many, many reviews, which rate the phone the best they have ever used, which is why I took the plunge and bought it. Trust me, I am so thrilled to have found this phone, and my search is over, thank goodness. Last, I get constant compliments on this phone, so the comments about mediocre looks is subjective, and in my opinion very inaccurate!
-PS, this phone is sooooo cheap, for $350, with $150 rebate, $200 net cost for this phone is a GREAT deal, I would pay almost any cost (within reason) for a phone with great voice quality (for business use), 3g data, great keyboard, multimedia (headphones), and fast qwerty keyboard like this has.
-enough of my rant, but wow, this phone rocks, you will NOT be disappointed!
