BLOCKHEADberry Curve! Ew.

So, I got my line updated at the local Wal-Mart, since I know the people that work with the phones, and they gave me a kick ass deal, I went ahead even though they don't have the phone I wanted in yet. So, I went ahead and got the Blackberry Curve as my temporary phone. BIG MISTAKE! First 5 minutes of tinkering with it I wanted to throw it up against the wall. Not only was it hard for me to get used to (I like things simple, if I want to send a message to everyone on my contacts a "send to all" option would be nice).
Here's what I had problems with:
1. They keypads are a little to small for me, I don't have chucky fingers it's just... it's too small for me!
2. The internet has it's slow moments. Granted it may be up to the network, it constantly kicked me off because there was an "Error with the server, please contact network provider".
3. It froze. Yes. first 5 mintues of using it the little shit froze. All I did was add one more recipient to the message I was sending it froze for a good 4 seconds (I actually counted).
4. It froze again. This time, I was simply replying to a text message. This time it froze longer. It may have been loading the text, but all they said was "Haha! Ok."
5. I HATE THE SCROLLING BALL!!!! I'd rather use regular buttons. I don't know if I'm not touching it hard or soft enough but it won't always do what I say!
6. The person on the other line has trouble hearing me. Yes. 3 phone calls later I decided it wasn't the 3 different peoples phones fault.
7. Kaboodle takes loooooong to load. The phone doesn't have enough capacity to load so much information in a split second.
This is my experience. I don't know about you, you may have one and love it to death, I on the otherhand... well, I can't wait till Monday to get another temporary raplacement. I won't be getting my iPhone until mid June.
For me, my experience with the Blackberry Curve has been hell. So far the only good thing I got out of it was being able to download a Twitter application. Hehehe. Yes, I tweet. :D

ooooh! Tweeple! Yay! My twitter name is andreagoth
Duh. Haha!
I have this phone. I've had it for a year now and it's not delivering text messages to me any more and it drops calls :( I feel your pain.
Mine just started doing the blank screen for no apparent reason. It just goes black and I think it turned off so I press the power button and then nothing... it will just turn back on when it feels like it. I wanna burn it.
most of your problems are nothing to do with the phone tbh.
