I got a new old Curve

Blackberry Curve taken with my SD500. My main photo-blogging weapon of choice.


So I bought my friend's old cellular phone from him replacing my aging Samsung Blackjack 1. I really want a touch-screen phone but I really don't feel like forking up too much money when I don't have steady cash flow. $85 for a slightly scratched Curve, not bad especially when I can sell my old phone for the same price. The scratch is only on the back battery cover. I can buy a replacement cover and *BAM* good as new. I'm going to miss playing Solitare on my Blackjack, time to move on to BrickBreaker (Arkanoid knockoff).


Is it weird to buy a phone like the Curve without the Internet plan? I use smartphones so that I can sync it with my PC and use it as a calendar. I told my friends I got the Curve, and they all say "why the hell do you get it without an Internet plan?" My response... "the same reason why I got the Blackjack without Internet!!! Have you forgotten???" Being a forgetful person, having a calendar on my phone can be a lifesaver. And no, the calendars on the flip phones suck. I have already tried that.

RIM Blackberry Curve 8300
World Phone Quad-Band GSM
2MP camera
Bluetooth

Pros:
Nice clear display
Aesthetically pleasing, sleek and symetrical design
Full QWERTY keyboard. The one thing the iPhone doesn't have.
Nice strong flash for camera.
3.5mm audio jack for regular headphones, doesn't need special connectors/adaptors.
Cons:
Trackball can be a little iffy. A little annoying, nothing serious.
Don't like the 10-key to one side. It should be in the middle so it can be more easily utilized with both hands.
