Overall, I love it!
The photos are so much better than the Pearl's and I like the full keyboard and bigger screen. Sound is MUCH louder too. And the back cover fits perfectly although I might still get the Seidio one since it will have a rubberized back and speaker cutout even thought the sound is already pretty loud! And once I get a bluetooth capable headset, I will love listening to music via A2DP! AND NO MORE SURETYPE, YAY!!!
However, I did prefer the cute, smaller size of the Pearl (easier for me to hold and type -- I can't type with one hand anymore
) and I miss the colored trackball program. OH YEAH, the Curve doesn't have a hole for a wrist strap or lanyard, and I am big on those because I'm always afraid of dropping it!
One more thing -- I never had any dropped calls with the Pearl. Now I've noticed a lot of "call failed" and areas of no service with the X in the corner. Is this a wi-fi issue or a Curve issue?
