Warning! Read the fine print. There is a $250 penalty if somehow you make a late monthly payment. Don't get sick. Don't travel. Don't experience an online banking issue or a snail mail issue.

I've had this phone about 6 months and for the most part I really like it. Good sound quality including the speaker phone. I like being able to pickup my email when I'm away from home. Charges much faster than my previous phones and seems to hold a charge for quite a while.
I like that I can sync it with Outlook but it requires some tweaking to get what you want. Tech support is pretty good but you need to call the 800 number because the sales people don't seem to really know much about it. In fact one sales rep gave me bad info and I lost some pictures.
Cons:
The keyboard is really small so it's not the easiest to type messages. I had to get a replacement after 3 months because the roller stopped working.
On occasion the phone won't make a call; the solution seems to be that you need to take out the battery. When you put the battery back in it seems to be fine.
I got this so I wouldn't have to carry a cell phone and my Palm Pilot. Entering and viewing appointments is just average, my Palm was much better.
Overall I'd say it's a good phone and would most likely buy another one.

Before this i had a treo 700p from alltel. i have to admit, for the first couple of days i had a tough time with the blackberry-- the layout of the curve seemed less intuitive and i found myself missing the touch screen of the treo. however, after the initial learning curve and getting used to the roller ball, i love the blackberry and i'm not sure i could go back. for me the biggest advantage is that the blackberry is a about HALF (maybe a third) of the size/weight of the treo (which was like a brick in my pocket) and i love the fact that blackberry pushes my email through immediately. incoming sound quality is indistinguishable between the two phones. from all feedback that i've received, outgoing sound quality is significantly better on the blackberry.
amazon had it shipped out the day after i ordered and i was able to port my number after a ten minute phone call with at&t.

I bought this phone back in December, and since that time, I have been nothing but pleased with it. I was used to carrying around a Palm Pilot in addition to my cell phone. I researched these type of phones extensively, and it came down to this phone and the Palm Treo. When I looked at these in person, I decided on the Blackberry because it was smaller. The guy I bought it from said that it was more like a cell phone with a built-in PDA, whereas the Palm Treo was more like a PDA with a built-in cell phone. I use all features of the Blackberry on a daily basis. I have 3 different email accounts routed to it, and receive close to 100 emails a day, many of which don't pertain to me. What I like is that if I am out of my office, I can either delete the messages from both my desktop and my handheld, or just from my handheld. It really has helped me manage my time, because I now don't have to read through so many emails when I return to my office. The keyboard isn't too bad, sometimes my small fingers do hit the wrong keys, so I can see how someone with large fingers might not like the keyboard. I don't text all that much, but do send about 15-20 texts/ responses to emails everyday from my handheld. This does take more time than what I am used to. Probably one of the few complaints I have about this phone. The other would be the cost of all the additional services- data plan, navigation, etc. However, I really do depend on this phone, and I highly recommend it. In fact, one of my friends recently traded in her Motorola Q for a Blackberry, and has been nothing but pleased. Not once in 7 months has it crashed on me.

What can I say. The Blackberry has and does continue to keep me organized in my busy world as well as in touch with friends, family, and clients. I am a fitness trainer and it is very important that I keep a good schedule, which I myself am terrible at. The Blackberry, with its full Qwerty keyboard, saves me lots of time and worry. I origanally had the 8700c, which was great then and had upgraded to the first Curve when it came out and loved that one as well. When Blackberry came out with the GPS Curve, I was in heaven for the simple fact that not only does it keep me organized and on track, but it also keeps me from getting lost when I am getting lost, because I am also very bad at directions! :o)
It takes great pictures, is very user freindly, and will always be my phone of choice.
Two thumbs up for me!!
