    Ok, I can get the Blackberry curve, pearl, or blackjack for free. Which should I get? I don't know much about blackberries.

    I have a Curve. I like it OK. My fat fingers rarely push two keys at the same time.

    Loses power quickly when you're out of range or go to analog places, but then I think all of them would... and that's probably not a big deal for most people.

    Blackberry Curve.
    Or Blackjack.

    If you can't decide, flip a coin.

    Blackberry. Not even close. Can't go wrong with either a curve or a pearl.

    Take the curve, find someone with an iPhone and throw the curve at them, steal their iPhone, never look back.

    Ha ha, I kid. I'd go blackjack, but I'm not quite sure. Which one is WM6 compatible?

    That looks sweet... Any idea on the screensize?

    slight derail, I just ordered a sprint diamond. They should ship it within the week if there aren't any power troubles at their warehouse in Kentucky.

    My main question would be touchscreen qwerty keyboard or physical qwerty keyboard on the phone, looks like phones are pushing more to qwerty keyboards on the touchscreen and not having the physical keyboard anymore.

    Don't get the Blackberry touchscreen. It looks sweet but that whole screen is actually a tactile button. That would get annoying fast.

    ^You realize there's likely an option to turn it off?

    I'm not sure there is. I saw a review, somewhere, where the reviewer commented that you couldn't turn it off and that whenever you wished to select something you had to touch it AND press the screen in.

    I suppose the reviewer could have been wrong, though.

    You shoulda waited a few months and picked up the Bold/9000 when it comes out in the States. I'm guessing you're with AT&T?

    McCain doesn't know how to text, he's too old, why make fun of him for it? It's a proven fact people over the age of 104 don't know what text messaging is. That's why they don't get data phones.

    Yep, ATT. I'm stuck with the old OS though. Can't watch You tube vids or anything because I can't upgrade the OS till I get power at my house. (need my desktop up and running)

    Freaking IKE. Give me ELECTRICITY!!!!!!
