Upgraded from Pearl to Curve. Good Idea??
- I will be receiving my new curve tommorrow. Can someone tell me I made a good move from a Pearl? Also, is there a color pearl app for the curve? I see them but it does not change to trackball just the LED. Any suggestions for third party apps to load on my new curve? Probably will be back here tomm. with more ?'s about my curve. Thanks for all the help.06-26-08 09:39 PMLike 0

- You can never go wrong going to another Blackberry . Now if you went to Windows Mobile or Palm...
I come from a long line of dumb phones so have never been "spoiled" by a full QWERTY keyboard. I got SureType all figured out within a day and can type away just as fast as on my wife's Curve. Make less mistakes too because they keys are bigger and I'm not as likely to hit a neighboring key. The big screen and 96mb of memory is very tempting...but...must...resist...until 9000 series.06-26-08 11:14 PMLike 0 - You'll love it! I switched from the pearl to the curve and have never regretted it. For me, it was the QWERTY keyboard and screen size. The pearl (if I still had it) would be my weekend BlackBerry. But I decided to share the love and sold it to my friend.

Get BBSmart Alarms Pro... very handy, especially if you wake up at different times on different days (For Example, you have a meeting at work earlier on Friday... or something like that)06-26-08 11:29 PMLike 0 -
Anyhow. You made the right choice. The curve, imho, is a definite upgrade. And you'll get used to the full qwerty - I hated it at first, now I can't live without it. Also, the screen size and graphic clarity?? Second to none. Curve for prez!!

I had a long line of suretype phones (about 3-4 years worth). Always liked the smaller form factor & the larger keys of the
pearl (&7100 before that). To me the Pearl was the first bb that was on par size wise with the small dumbphones.
When I realised the curve was NOT as big as an 8700/8800 I decided to give one a go. I'm happy I did.
Took awhile to unlearn SureType and get used to the SMALLER keys but I get so much more screen in a 'still nice' form factor.
If I had not sold my pearl it would be a great personal phone, or perfect for my gf.
I also miss the coloured LED in the trackball but I'll cope.
Fave app has to be Viigo.
Trying Opera Mini, nicer than BB browser in some ways & more frustrating in others
Haven't tried GPS much, tho will mess about with it while I'm on hols.
So yes I think you made a great choice!

Now this was back before the 8110 and 8130, when the 8100 was the only pearl available and it had the crappier camera and that suretype was just down right annoying. I love the full qwerty keyboard myself! Plus now the newer Pearls are close to the same features of the Curve except with Suretype and smaller screen! I still would choose the Curve over because I just love the phone!
