14My New Phone — Blackberry Curve 8320
In the past year I have had the Motorola V710, Motorola Razr, HTC TMobile Dash, Motorola A1200 (Ming) and now the TMobile Blackberry Curve 8320. Out of all the phones I have ever had, this is by far the best! I have heard many many many people say, get a Blackberry. Especially when I first bought the Dash. The Windows Mobile OS that thing ran was so janky it made me want to run the other direction from anything “Smartphone.” It was slow, a terrible phone, crashed constantly, had problems with txts and emails. Yeah, it was a giant piece of shit.
I liked the Ming. I still do. It’s a great (and stylish) phone. But checking email was a pain and was only pop or imap. I also had to use a stylus to type. The camera sucked and supposedly a software update was going to fix that. Ironically, the Linux based operating wasn’t compatible with Linux. That’s the kind of insane shtick that causes Indian programmers to light themselves on fire. Seriously, what was up with that? Motorola Mobile 4.0 pretty much only runs on XP. Hey Moto, what’s the point of the Linux OS then? Moto fanboys, where are the Linux apps? So all of those things I just listed, the Blackberry doesn’t do any of them.
I am on hosted exchange. All of my emails, contacts, appointments, memo and tasks are all synced, all the time, in real time. It’s phuking awesome. My virtual office world has never been so organized. It’s a fantastic phone, the bluetooth HS850 works perfectly with it and the battery actually lasts. I HIGHLY recommend you convert and get a Blackberry now. Right now. What are you waiting for? Go get one!
