Why such an offer??

As I am not buying, so my "star rating" is meaningless - just to satisfy Amazon's requirements.
This gold box offer has all the signs of a desperate attempt by RIM, et al. to unload product inventory which is about to be made obsolete by some market-busting new technology coming online.
As they say, if it sounds too good to be true, then it is.
Also, a reviewer's point about GPS being a double-edged sword if always with you and turned on, is worth considering.

I'd still rather have my pocket pc

I've been using a Sprint Mogul pocket pc running the latest version of Microsoft Windows Mobile. I love this phone. Unfortunately, my new employer has a policy that all consultants must participate in the corporate blackberry program. I was somewhat concerned because I rely heavily on my pda to keep me organized. So I put in my request for my blackberry curve and hoped for the best.

After using this phone for a few weeks, I'm rather disappointed. I still have not figured out how to add a meeting invitation to my calendar. When I got the .vcs attachments in my pocket pc it was easy to add it to my calendar. I cant see any way to do it in a blackberry. Maybe one of the blackberry users here can help me out.

Although I can accept a meeting invite in outlook and it will sync to blackberry, if there is a large amount of data in the note of the appointment, it won't all sync to my blackberry. There must be a character limit of some sort. I didnt have this problem with my pocket pc

Editing word or excel documents was also easy in my pocket pc. I can't find any way to do it in a blackberry. This thing is inferior to a pocket pc in so many ways that I can't understand why they are so popular. A pocket pc does all the things that a blackberry does and more.

The blackberry is also more difficult to navigate. What would take one or two clicks on my sprint mogul takes several more on the blackberry.

The music player on the blackberry is horrible. Also I can't get my blackberry to recognize an sd card over 500 megabytes. I had 4 gig micro sd card in my pocketpc. It held all the mp3s and videos I wanted. Frankly I want a phone that is both a toy AND a business tool. The blackberry curve does neither especially well. I suspect that most of the people recommending the blackberry are people with limited experience with pda phones who are recommending what they happen to have used.

On the plus side, I like the web browser, it is more readable than the one my the sprint mogul. I also like that you can sync your notes from outlook. Thats awesome. I use that feature but it wont sync to a pocket pc using activesync OTA. The size of the curve is also impressive, very small and light. It also accepts a standard headphone jack instead of just the mini usb like many other pda phones.

Excellent product and great price

The Curve is Blackberry's best product until the new 9000 Series is released. The price was originally 49.98 but than was reduced to .01 (Yes, one penny)a week later and Amazon provided a refund for the difference. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
