I recently purchased the new blackberry curve on the Verizon network.

Here are some stats:

· Ev-do
· Built in GPS with Turn by Turn directions
· Full QWERTY Keyboard
· 2.0 MP Camera (Still and Video)
· Video Recording
· MMS Messaging
· Push Email
· The normal Smartphone Apps: Calendar, Task list, Blackberry Chat, Password Vault, Alarm Clock
· Nice large display

This was a nice upgrade from the HTC-6700. The phones cost was $149.00. The data plan was $29.99 dollars extra a month unlike the $59.99 plan that Verizon had.

I have had nothing but good experiences with his phone. All of my outlook contacts were added with no hassle at all. It took about 20 minutes to setup 3 email accounts to my phone. The ability to add applications is a wonderful experience. It’s as simple as click, download, enjoy.

Google has made the blackberry an awesome device. (More on this later) I think I made the right choice in purchasing the curve instead of going over to the i-phone. Look forward to a full review of the Google apps that are available to the blackberry.
