"Awesome Phone! Best Nextel Blackberry by far!"
Pros: A Blackberry Curve with Nextel Direct Connect
Cons: Sluggish at times, menu system needs to be reworked to be more convenient, battery capacity
Summary: I work at an indirect retail store. I must say that every review I have read about this device is wrong for a couple of basic reasons. In order to rate a phone you must ignore two things: 1) the incompetence of the person who sold it to you who probably did not add the appropriate packages for it to work or 2) you own personal incompetence when it comes to using such a phone. If the internet/e-mail/text messaging doesn't work it is because your account or plan is not properly configured. I can say my text and internet are working perfectly. the one bug i have encountered is on e-mail. For some reason it will not reconcile with your e-mail address sometimes. I still do not know if this is caused by my e-mail account or my phone. Aside from that, GPS, Internet, Text, SMS, messenger and all other features are working perfectly. So if the internet, text, GPS, or some other feature doesn't work it is because your account or line is not properly configured.

UPDATE: If you are having problems with the text messaging on the phone do the following. Go to blackberry website and download OS software and install through desktop manager. The OS software is not an update, it will be same version that is already installed But aparently it removes the bug report option and fixes some stability and text messaging issues. Hope this helps.
