dont worry ill put it in the right section for you.
I love mine, depends on what you need.
If you want a multimedia device but dont actually need a phone then go Iphone.
If you actually want to make calls/texts/emails the berry works better.

I think you should get more than one, they are quite small and i doubt one would fill you up, will just leave you craving more
Oh and wrong section, should be in the tasty berries section

try one in shop and see.
Everyone whos an iphone fanboy will tell you to get one no matter what.
When not everyone wants the multimedia functions it does well at
Im on my second berry and going for my 3rd soon, no question when it comes to upgrading for me

My experience of Blackberry was a Curve 8520.
In the 16 months that I had it, it was replaced 3 times, due to consistent software faults trackball problems, crashing, failing to send/recieve sms/emails, dropping calls.
However a couple of friends have had them with no issues.

Actually pissed myself!
but every1 i have spoke to has loved it for the first 6 months and then got bored of it and wished they got something else.
the main reason people get one is because of bbm... but its the same as unlimited texts?
get an android or iphone 4

My bad, meant 8900.
Speaking of trackpads, my two best friends have the 8520, both have had the trackpad fail on them.

unusual the 8900 seems to be able to tske a fair bit of stick in my case.
I wouldnt use the 8520/250 myself as they have a few less features on them than the 8900 and above.
Personally i really dont like the trackpad, althout the older berrys did have roller ball issues. My old one got a bit jammed near the end of its life. New one hasnt mind so far after 18-20months of abuse or howlong ive had it.
I know my old berry had huge faults to begin with sending emails etc.. and texts and that was because the silly bint in phones 4u didnt set my account up properly.

I've never liked the trackpads, I can't really describe it, but it's just the feel of them if that makes any sense?
The rollerball was the main fault with mine tbh, that would go first, then the other faults would turn up!
Emails etc was all fine until my 3rd one haha!
I replaced that with an iPhone, and yeah it's fun to have the apps for when rediculously bored in lectures, but I'm now on my second 4, due to numerous faults!

That's one thing that has surprised me so far, mine has been dropped countless times, like down the stairs, or behind the bar at work on to a floor with standing water and the like, and it still hasn't got a scratch on it!
