Well i have 4 berries, but my first one which is my Curve ive had for about 4 months now. Ive had my others for all different times. I dont know what i would do without my kids lol.
Also not sure if you've already done so, but update your BB to the latest for picture messaging capabilities.
4.5.0.131 (I think, been a while since I've used a Curve). If you need any help there are plenty of tutorials on the board or you can definitely reach out to any of us.
