Changed to sprint for the instinct, but it just isnt smooth enough for me. I have yet to own a Blackberry but I am very techy and I love to get my hands on the latest devices with all the goodies. I am a recent grad and have started a job in Project management for a large company. Blackberries are not necessary by any means, but I am wondering if the Curve is a nice intregration between Fun/Business/Messaging/ and Organization..
Let me know, I would love to have cons/pros and not just Crackberry lover repsonses that give the device a "halo" effect. be critical if possible

The Curve is a smart phone. The Instinct? Not so much. You can add whatever 3rd party apps you could possibly want/need to the Curve. With the Instinct, you are stuck with what the manufacturers put on there. Period. No add onds, no mods, done and done. The Curve also features the full qwerty keyboard with amazing response, and a large screen with awesome graphics. I'm not sure about the Instinct in this department, so I won't say either way. The Curve is mainly directed toward business use, however like I said, you can add an aray of 3rd party apps for entertainment purposes as well. All in all, go with the Curve. You won't be disappointed.07-08-08 02:21 PM - Well... not so much. I agree with everything else you said, but the ability to install 3rd party apps isn't much of "pro" for Blackberry. I'm not trying to make this into a debate on "Well, you should have to pay anyway", "Wait! No it should be free!", but if one is interested in installing 3rd party apps, Windows Mobile is definitely where you wanna go.Honestly, the opinions you get here will probably be a little bias.

With that being said though, and having come from a WM device, I feel the BB doesn't really require that many 3rd party apps to run how I like it to. Unlike WM where a majority of 3rd party apps where needed to make up for things MS forgot, 3rd party apps for the BB just add more fun and functionality.07-08-08 02:28 PM - But WM isn't even an option in the OP's mind, apparently, so.......... I didn't even feel the need to bring that device into the equation.
There are tons of great free 3rd party apps out there for Blackberries, if you just do enough searching and digging. And even the ones that DO cost money aren't expensive and are worth it, for the most part.07-08-08 02:30 PM
