Blackberry - Curve 8330 Cell Phone — 

I am a Sprint customer andI upgraded my cell phone to a Blackberry Curve 8330.I was concerned because I am kind of technically challenged.To my surprise I have learned to operate the phone quite easily,and if I get stuck on something the manual is simple enough for me to understand.I was interested in this phone because of the quality pictures it takes,full keyboard,and its durability.I have a cat that climbs on the nightstand and pushes my phone on to the floor so you can imagine my concern of being damaged or broken.I spoke to a few people who have this phone and they all highly reccommended it.The phone comes with a wired stereo headset and a case that helps save the battery power.It comes with many features like Sprint TV,Sprint Music,GPS,2.0 megapixel camera with flash,camcorder,Facebook,myspace,Yahoo messenger,Google talk,maps,memo pad,voice dialing,email,calculator,alarm,calendar and more,many which have a sort of "shortcut" icon to access these features faster.My personal computer email address and my Blackberry are connected so if I receive an important email on my home computer I can instantly access it from my phone where ever I am at any time.You can easily browse the web on the phone.It is Bluetooth enabled and can be used by those with a hearing aid.The only way to have this phone with Sprint is with their Simply Everything plan which costs $100 plus tax a month.It is expensive,but if you are an internet lover,text lover,TV or music lover,this phone is well worth it.I love the clear quality pictures I get on the phone.It has zoom to get the detail you want most up close.I haven't had the phone for long,about 3 weeks but I absolutely love it.My daughter says it's "sexy" and can't wait to upgrade her phone to a Blackberry.It is a "smartphone" in every sense of the word.I love the black with gray color.I am amazed with the features and technology  this phone has to offer.Also it comes with a memory card,(which saves money because you don't have to buy it separately) which can be connected to a desktop or laptop to easily access photos and videos,saving time as well since you don't have to email them.I can only say what features Sprint has since that is my carrier but I imagine most,if not all of the features,can be accessed with other carriers as well.It also comes with a USB cord to connect your Blackberry to your home or office computer,which is also convenient. hope this review is helpful to others.I tried to explain the features and phone the best I can.Like I said,I am "tech challenged."I highly reccommend this phone to anyone who uses its features.I am very happy with the choice I made.
