I just got an 8310 on Saturday. I traded in my Tilt after 22 days with it. Couldn't stand how slow WM6 was amongst other issues. So far I really like the Curve though my wife (who works for AT$T) says I don't need a BB. I would have to say I was just sick of all the other crap that AT&T carries and wanted something more.
I traded my tilt for the curve 8310 as well... and i love it. wm6 was soo buggy ... slow and froze. I am happier with the stable os of the blackberry.... the camera seems better to me as well ( no video.. yet... i'll deal)
you made a good choice switching to a BB. You will not be disappointed
Well...your wife is probably right. I don't need a BlackBerry either, since my use is 80% personal, although I do have my business email account on it as well as my personal ones. I don't need blazing fast email, a great qwerty keyboard with excellent feel and action, a reliable-as-a-hammer operating system that is fast and effective...or a slim, sexy shape and ergonomic feel.
I don't need a BlackBerry...but having had everything else, I wouldn't have anything else.
