Default To Curve or Not to Curve

Please Login to Remove!

I currently have a Treo 700w, and I am ready to move away from Windows Mobile. Should I go with the Curve or a Palm OS based Treo? I am also considering the iPhone, but I am having trouble justifying such an expensive phone. Advice is welcome!

Curve of course. Why would you cheat yourself and settle for something less?

I came from Treos to Blackberrys and now I wonder why I waited so long! The answer definitely is "to Curve".

wouldnt it depend on what devices are available when you make the switch?

I too had a 700W. I was very hesitant to switch and posted almost the exact post here a few months back.

Needless to say I switched to the Curve. With my needs, I have never looked back. You need to ask yourself what are your needs. If you answer email first then go BB. If you want a good browser and media then you may want to look at the iPhone.

Good luck.

I love my curve. I had the iPhone, and it was nice, but if you're rough with phones like I am, the curve is the way to go. I had to ditch my iphone because the (glass) screen cracked.

Probably right up there with the myth of OS 4.5.

Still, as a former Palm OS, iPhone, WM6 Pro,and Smartphone owner, the BB Curve is the best, most stable, most feature rich (excluding that gorgeous iPhone screen) cell phone I've ever owned.
