    It finally arrived, my new 8310. Yes! Right now it is locked on T-Mobile UK but that will soon change.

    As it happened I had a T-Mobile Pay As Ya Go SIM card kicking around so I put that in the phone and away she went.

    I called T-Mobile and told them that I was working in Switzerland (well, it's true) and told them that I had bought myself a Pay As You Go Swisscom SIM card (that's true too but I keep in as a spare phone in the car) and, would they be kind enough to unlock my phone. Yes, they said for �15 and a 28 day wait. S<%�w that. I went to my usual supplier for unlocking phones and I'll have the number in a couple of days.

    So, no data plan today, just calls but, I just love the Curve over the 8100. The keyboard is a different world - really. I can type again.

    I upgraded to 4.2.2.194 without difficulty and find that there are quite a few differences between the two phones. Menu choices are more complete. For instance you can add a fold to the cCurve's desktop. Can't do that on the 8100.

    This is JUST GREAT.

    Congrats.

    Folders are cool... I put all the excess icons I don't use often, and trash icons that get pushed down in another folder, and then HIDE it. Out of site.

    Yeah, wanted to do that on the Pearl. Seems silly 'cos the Pearl has such a small screen. It would have been an obvious option.

    dude! nice!
    i know just what you're sayin
    the combination of the keyboard, and the bigger better screen and the sweet camera
    also the web looks much better/faster on the curve screen
    goddamn, the camera on the 8100 sucks donkey balls...

    I am not sure if 'copycat' is appropriate. Icons have been around for a while.

    There was an apocryphal story a few years back about Microsoft buying the Catholic Church and a Cardinal from Rome said that he was looking forward to helping Bill G. because his lot had been working with icons for a lot longer than Microsoft. Or so the story goes...
