Blackberrys... Who Has One?

[Phil Lilley]

I just bought a BlackBerry Curve yesterday- does anyone have one?

Without googling and researching, what are some of the cool things it does? My son told me he has a friend who hacked into his and now he can watch youtube videos on his... not that's what I want to do but is there other useful things you can do outside of the default apps?

We are moving to the Blackberry's. I carry a Treo, my partner just got his first Balckberry. I will have one in October.

They are as easy or hard as you make them. They are a great phone, a better way to view email compared to my Treo, but Verizon screwed the pooch on their interface. Blackberry is easy and easy to manipulate. The screen manipulation is great. Toggle and zoom make for easy reds. the hands free and voice activated interface is vastly better than treo.

Learning the phone is easier than tying flies, so you should be able to catch on pretty fast.
