Glad to hear you're found what you're looking for! This is my 2nd BlackBerry. I joined the club at the beginning of the year when I purchased my Pearl. I think the Pearl is a really good phone especially for the form factor, but the 8300 has just made my Blackberry experience even better. Interestingly, the 8300 screen is really good for me. I like the size and much to my surprise, I can read it in full daylight with my polarized sunglasses on. That rocks! My Pearl's screen was pretty much unusable in full daylight. Coming from the Pearl, I was really happy that the Curve is pretty much the same in terms of being light to handle. Overall, I really love my Curve and it's sealed it for me being a Blackberry user for the forseeable future. Anyway, congrats on finding something you really like! I know the feeling.
