seriously? it has a trackpad and keyboard... the touchscreen is a pretty big BONUS lol.. but hey BB are nice i guess

lol I loved the Moment but just couldn't deal with muting and hanging up on people anymore. Also my kids always had to use it on speakerphone so THEY wouldn't hang up on people. Just didn't fit ME and my lifestyle I guess. Wonder if they will come out with an Android phone that ISN'T touchscreen...probably not though! ;)

a few odd companies are coming out with phones with the BB look but running android... i have no clue where they will be released though :)

Yeah, but the bummer deal is all those "Copies" are coming on GSM networks only with most of the US 3G bands disabled. If you are here, you're probably on Sprint where you can't get an unlocked GSM device on to the network.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I'll probably be back at some point in time because I really do like the Android OS but it's back to a BB for me for now (a Curve 8530 BTW). ;)
My wife just picked up that phone yesterday and she LOVES it:D
She accidentally dropped her Palm Treo and busted the screen. I was able to use the blackberry software to rip all the contacts and scheduled stuff from her Treo with the shattered screen over to the blackberry.

It seems like it's a great phone, except for the surprising difficulty of adding new contacts (takes about 4-5 menu steps rather than 1 click). It definitely suits her well and I'm not surprised that you switched to it. Plus, Pandora runs flawlessly (she's so excited about that).

Feel free to come back once Android works out its bugs. I don't blame you for seeking more stability in your phone:p

When will you be putting it up on Ebay? I just received my Moment last week (Upgraded from the Touch Pro 2) and love it so much better than the Touch and would like to get one for my wife. Can't upgrade hers until August so if I can find one reasonably elsewhere I will go that route.

I will probably put it up on Sunday for 7 days with buy it now and best offer. I have 7 cases, a full Invisible Shield type skin and a pink blue tooth to go with it. I will post again once it's on. :)

Bye! Hopefully you didn't get the BB Storm...cause if you did, then we will see you back here shortly :D


check out the first sentence in this article...crazy stuff

BlackBerry Storm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



enjoy the BB, I know if I didn't enjoy surfing the web so much on my phone I would also look at BB's. I especially like the Curve 8530 and Bold 9700. I know BB has a new webkit, I wonder if you can upgrade when it is released?

sounds like your phone has a bad proximity sensor. Bummer.

I have wanted a touchscreen for a long time, its been maddening in the past trying to click links and stuff that are RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN but the stupid mobile interface required me to move a cursor around clumsily.

I just wish my phone would have the functionality of an iphone in terms of not as many app hiccups and multi-touch.

Does anyone know how to do this? Anyone have replacement for the in-call screen?

Would love to keep the functionality but maybe make the buttons sliders instead.

Sometimes my lock screen app helps, and sometimes it does not. Prximity sensor seems fine, but for various reasons, like when I get a text the screen comes on again.

Um, first off, in the manual it says to hold the phone about an inch from your face and ear (I know hard to hear so we all push it against our ears) but you don't have to eat the mic to talk. If you are having issues with the sensor, try putting the ear piece against your ear and pull the mic about an inch away from your face.

Works perfect for me!

It's hard to explain that to a 3-4 year old kid.

Let me know how that 8530 is. I was considering switching from my Droid Eris to either the 8530 or Palm Pre... I'm a total phone junkie! I had a 9700 and really liked it.

My wife has the 8530 and is liking it more and more every day. It certainly does not nearly have the same versatility as an Android phone by any stretch of the imagination... but everything that it does do, it does well. I haven't found anything buggy with it yet. It's light, it's small, and it appears that it might be durable... but I'm not going to find out to what extent:p

BTW, I assume that since you have a Droid, you mean the Palm Pre Plus (Stay the hell away from the original Palm Pre!). On the PP+ they got rid of the main button for a reason!
