    Perhaps, eventually. Right now it just consists of a 7130 and 8830.

    I'm not sure yet. My curve is only a few months old and is in pristine condition. Not sure if I'm going to sell it or not.

    I've already been switching between the Tour and the Curve. My Curve has served me well and I've decided to keep it as a back up or "beater" device and keep it up to date on OS and apps updates. The Tour feels like a Sports car that you drive on the weekends

    I voted other because I still can't really decide what I want to do with my old Curve. I'm not sure if I want to sell it or keep it as a backup just in case.

    I haven't decided yet either ... mostly bc I have 2 curve's ... 1 silver and 1 pink. The pink one is the one I was using so I may hold onto that one. I'll probably sell the silver one somehow since it's in great condition from sitting in my drawer for quite a while

    Insurance is the biggest scam pushed on the American public in history (other than George W winning an election of course). I save my phones as backups!

    Selling to my friend. The P, $, and enter keys don't work so she's getting a discount (not a big deal since she will just use it to text and I made an autotext code for the letter p).

    As fate would have it, I put my Curve 8330 through the washing machine on Sunday. I was pretty disapointed since I wanted to give it to my daughter to use when I upgraded to the Tour. The thing is garbage now.

    I'm going to donate my KRZR to the Wildlife Conservation Society. Not for awhile yet, though; it'll temporarily be my backup until I replace my Tour, then my Tour will be the backup.
    Animals can use cell phones? And, is there good reception out in the "wild"?

    Just checked eBay for prices for my old 8703e. Looks like they range from $12 to about $45. Not sure if it's worth selling. Might be worth more just hanging onto it as a BU if the Tour needs to go in the shop

    I have to keep my Curve as a backup. I won't pay for the insurance after Sprint raised the deductible to $100. Not worth it after $7/mo. I will keep the Curve in case something happens and upgrade again next year.

    Its always nice to have any blackberry as a backup.
