Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Great camera, internet is helpful, size is perfect, qwerty keyboard,reception, verizon wireless network,sound quality, free ringtones,games,wallpapers, brickbreaker,and lots more

Cons: I havent found any yet..

Summary: The blackberry curve is the best phone i ever had.I recommend this to anyone that is into email, internet on the go, music, text messaging. I dont recommend getting this phone without a data plan, with verizon wireless you do have to get a plan but its a low cost of 29.99 thats only 1.00 a day...other carriers i dont think you have to get a plan but with their blackberry curves im not sure how the reception, quality, and things like that are..with the blackberry curve they have a 24 hour 1800 number if you have any questions or problems with your phone also any store can help too..If your considering the blackberry pearl or the 8830(global) phone consider these things pearl-is suretype (2-3 letters per button), small, has camera. 8830-no camera, big, full qwerty keyboard.Curve you have all that the full qwerty keybord, 2.0 megapixal camera, size is right between the two other phones. The only thing I wish was different was the color but you can get silicone covers for the phone which i highly recommend ecspecially if your hard on your phone it helps protect it they come in different colors.. battery last me about 2 days.I hope this info was helpful

That is some question! As for phones that meet your requirements right off the top of my head I would have to suggest the HTC S710 and the Blackberry 8300 "Curve (no wifi) Both are Quad band GSM

Re: Unlockded curve 8300 for use with t-mobile

Everything should work - you may have to configure the network settings to get the internet to work. I don't have T-Mobile but from my experience with AT&T you always have to get the phone
