I finally got it yesterday! Man I loved my Pearl but this phone ever better. What I love the most is the large screen and the full qwerty, yet it is still MUCH smaller than the World edition. The bigger screen makes such a huge difference when browsing etc, it doesnt cramp everything up like on the Pearl. Another BIG improvement is the vast amount of memory they loaded this thing up with. I can't see this phone ever deleting call logs or messages. Here are a few pics.
I got mine yesterday as well! I have been wanting one since I walked in to an AT&T store a looong time ago and finally I have it! A friend of mine is pissed because when he bought is pearl I had a Treo 700p and he used to make fun of me saying I had a brick in my pocket.
CONGRATS!!!! I just got my 8330 last monday and its the best. This is my first BlackBerry and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I didn't want the World Edition because its the size of a cordless and the Pearl is a little feminine for me lol. The Curve just grabbed my attention with the look and the feature. But congrats again on the Curve.
The World Edition is better than the original? I thought it was the same size. Enjoy your Curve. I have to wait for a little over a year unless if I want to pay retail.
