    I have the samsung intensity... it was the simplest phone they had at the store haha ... it's a decent phone. i only need to charge it twice a week and its design is nice. A little too easy to pocket dial for my taste, but whatev ... I'm avoiding the smart phone like the plague

    I have a Brand new Blackberry Curve (8350) sitting in the box at my house. My Fiance got it for me, but before I activated it, I called sprint to look into the phone and they told me that the 8350 is not a "3g" phone, so it can't really do anything that I want it to. You CANNOT install a good aftermarket Browser like Skyfire or Opera Mini. So, it cant handle flash or any good Java applications. While the browser is OK on the curve, it wont load my online banking properly, wont load fantasy sports sites...

    So again, I love the blackberry and if I only used my phone for music texting and calls, then it would be ideal. But the Curve can't handle running MS Office, Navigation and real time Web Display all at once...

    I wanted to switch to the Curve really bad, because its more proffessional looking than what I have now for business... But until Blackberry steps up and offers what HTC does, I will go HTC for sure.

    the issue with the curve is that they built it with very minimal memory, so its a fast easy to use phone, but they made it so there is no upgrade capabilities, so a swellinfo app is out of the question for the Curve.
