It stinked! I was so upset with my sprint curve I desided to swith to verizon. So I bought the verizon curve and I can honestly say, verizon is awsome! Verizon is way better than sprint and tmobile! Trust me! Verizon has MMS, and now the new blackberry curve has flash player! Plus verizon is cheaper and the fastest 3G network. Everyone I know agrees that verizon is better! U gotta have it!

My 2 cents I started off with Primeco which became Verizon stayed with them 4 some years & then switched 2 AT&T. My AT&T years sucked the in the last year or so in 2007 I got my first smartphone a Blackjack I no Blackberry but it introduced me 2 the world the next year n April/May I upgraded 2 the BJ II around that time it seemed like prices got more expensive speed up 2 this year May I decided 2 go Blackberry (best phone I have ever owned) & 2 also switch carriers I was tired of payin between $140 & $160 a month 4 service. Went with MetroPCS I'm fortunate 2 live n Miami so they r set up nicely here. For $66 a month I get unlimited everything plus phone insurance 4 my Blackberry. Within the next 2 years MetroPCS along with Verizon will be rolling out LTE so hmmm I'm on the cusp of even greater service on the horizon & I will b laughin all the way 2 the bank. I luv my Blackberry Curve lol was a lil bored so I read a lot of the comments. My 2 cents I started off with Primeco which became Verizon stayed with them 4 some years & then switched 2 AT&T.

By far Verizon has had the best service.Before I even knew the power a BB has they let me try 3 other phones including the Pearl (hated the keyboard). The worry free guarantee allowed me to realy use each phone and I did go over the 30 days at one point but they still gave me the Curve 8330. If that isn't customer service I don't know what is!

I have the Curve 8330, which cost me $149/ with a $100 rebate for an adjusted cost of $49. I have 4 lines, 1500 minutes and pay $158 per month (resulting from my corporate discount of 23%). I have to say that Sprint is a great company, and I certainly can't complain that they "give the farm away". You may get dead spots, but you will with any carrier. If you call and inform Sprint, they are more than obliging in issuing a credit. Moral of the story: Stick with a carrier for some time and your loyalty will allow you to get, within reason, whatever you'd like.

And yes you can send MMS on the 8330. You have to do a software update on your computer and just plug in your BB and update to ver. 4.5.. That will enable MMS. Sprint is great.

I called Verizon and was told basically that it was a couple hundred ring tones and I'd gone way over on my minutes... First off, I've never downloaded a ring tone, and I've never used more than the minutes allotted in my plan. After a little bit of bitching, they gave me an "adjustment" of $104. This after switching to Verizon from Sprint 4 years ago. Where I live (Columbus, OH) both providers offer good coverage, and Sprint is less expensive for their plans. I"m happy with the switch.
