Do you like the Blackberry Curvers better then the HTC touch and why? Thanks I also have the HTC Touch, and I’m thinking of changing to the Blackberry Curves. Do you like the Blackberry Curvers better then the HTC touch and why?

I called today and talk to a rep about the phone and the only thing my contract was allowed to upgrade to the new iphone 3G, and I did not want this phone at all! So I ended up telling the rep that I know that there must be something he could do for me without me spending a ton of money since i just spent almost $600 on the phone I have. Well I got my BB Curve with a bunch of extras for no cost! I was extreamly happy with everything. There is too many wireless companies out there today that will gladly take your business and they know this when there is an unhappy customer. And I have also learned that with your BB if you call the company directly and tell them there is a problem with your BB they will send you a new and most likely the newest modle of BB, but you must do this before your warenty is up. Hope this tip helps for those of you who didnt know that!

Sprint wanted $499 for the phone due to my contract. I Wound up getting the phone at the new customer price of $150 because I told them I would switch providers. Exact same senario. They will do anything to keep their customers. Plus, i leared that buying a new phone is like buying a new car. The dealer has plenty of adjustments to work with. The customer just has to know how to work the system I did the same thing last year when the blackberry 8703e came out. Sprint wanted $499 for the phone due to my contract.
