A blackberry for mothers day?!?

I was thinking about getting my mom a new curve from verizon for mothers day. I love mine so much that I think my mom might too. Right now she just owns a simple flip phone, but likes to send txt/picture messages but im not sure she would use the BB to its full potential. I talked to a VZW rep and they would let me try the phone out for 30 days with a $30 restocking fee if she chooses not to keep it. What do you guys think? Anyone in a similar situation? or been there?

Also any good apps out there that I could load on the phone? Is there a wine app? Mobile bartender? LoL

Im not sure how old your mom is but u definitely wanna get something with a nice size screen. Also They have a wine enthusiast Guide for 9.99 and top 10 wines for 7.99. I dont know if these apps will help but worth a shot.

In 30 days she will love it. You'll probably have a hard time getting it away from her. just show her the basics and let her play with it for a few days and she'll be hooked. great present.

The best way to get someone to love BlackBerry is to put one in their hands! After that, no life without BlackBerry.

Don't forget that a new BB acount will cost an additional $30 a month for data no way around that. If she has the flip phone data now she's paying $10 per month on it so it will only be another $20. I know when I tried getting my parents a BB, they flipped out over the $30 extra. Good luck.

I'm not sure which one you were thinking of, but you might want to let her try out a touch screen and regular bb to see which she prefers.

I was thinking about the purple curve 8530. I think you can make the text bigger right? Think ill just give it a shot and try it out. Thanks for your help! Any more app suggestions would be great!

Make sure she's technology savvy. My mom actually considered the jitterbug! So make sure she's into it.
