i can honestly say, i hated this phone for a week or so, but im learning to love this phone. one thing i hate about is the fake qwerty. two letters in a keypad.
and keypads are little too small for my hands haha.
im thinking about switching phone to curve. what do you guys think? would this be a smart thing to do? it would only cost me 100 dollars more or so.
thanks, can't wait to get to know my phone more haha.
Welcome to BBF! For myself, I would not like the Sure Type and would not buy the Pearl for that reason. Some people love it though. It's really personal preference. I'd pick the Curve over the Pearl for the larger display also.
Welcome to the Forums!! I was like you with the SureType keyboard at first too. Hated it at first but it grew on me. But the keyboard is alot easier to use on a Curve. If your pounding out messages all day, I would go with the Curve.
