So after dropping my Blackberry 8703 in the toilet the other day I have been without for the past three days. I was able to activate my wife’s old phone, but the battery quickly died leaving me phone less. After looking at and comparing phones I finally settled on the Blackberry Curve. Originally I had been leaning towards the iPhone, but did not really want to change carriers since I have had many issues with ATT and their uVerse product.
I then looked at the new Storm and compared it to a few other phones that Verizon offered. The reviews on the Storm were not good. I did not like how it interfaced, the touchscreen seemed cheap and not really well organized. So I went with the Curve on a few recommendations.
So now I sit here trying to add applications and data that was not able to be transferred over at the store. Thankfully I was able to recover my address book, but I had a year’s worth of dates and events on the calendar, which could not be saved, as well as images and other miscellaneous stuff. I have 30 days to play with it and see what I think of it. I doubt there will be anything newer released in that time, but who knows I might change my mind.
As for the rest of the toilet story, there really is none. But I tell you, I did not hesitate or think twice about going in to get the Blackberry. LOL.
