I was debating on whether I wanted to use my phone credit on a Curve or wait on the Storm. I'm pretty sure I don't want a touchscreen, not to mention there is NO telling how long it will take to get it released, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Curve since it was only $50.
I had bought my 8830 from a friend for $20 thinking it could at least be a backup. I actually liked it quite a bit. I thought it would be too big but it fit in my pocket nicely (I'm used to flip-phones, so its GREAT having a "flat" phone ).
Long story short, after a few days with my Curve, I'm EXTREMELY glad I got the Curve! The 8830 is a great phone and will continue to serve as my backup (I may sell it, but I'll probably keep it) but I love the smaller size of the Curve and the keyboard is A LOT easier to use. Now that I'm used to it, the 8830 feels huge!
Just thought I'd share my thoughts. I'm pumped to have a Curve now.
This may be a new thread, but any suggestions for good screen protectors? A buddy of mine works at Verizon and hooked me up with some screen protectors, but they aren't doing real well. They won't stay down on the edges and they're designed to be replaced every couple of weeks or so.
I've had my 8330 for about 4 months now. When I went to do my upgrade, I really liked the 8830 and the Red color....I didn't like that it didn't have a camera, was a little bigger and heavier and so on.
I am very happy I picked the 8330, it has been great!
I LOVE my Curve. It is by far the most exciting, intriguing, and capable phone I have ever had. I am waiting on the release of the Niagara for VZW hopefully.
Depending on the type of lcd protector you want I found a really cool one on ebay. It is a regular screen protector and when the phone is in standby it is a mirror. I actually have one and the mirror is awesome. Plus no one I know has it so everyone thinks it is pretty cool. They are so cheap and free shipping so I thought it was worth a try and if I didn't like it I wouldn't use it. I have had it for over a month now and love it, I even ordered more for backups in case I ever need them.
this is the link to the ebay store where I found them:
