My time with the Curve

I've had the Blackberry Curve for about a month now, and switched my service to AT&T. It's probably the best phone that I've ever used. I did venture away from good old RIM for awhile to test the waters with Windows Mobile but I decided to come back to old faithful and get the Curve.

While Windows Mobile is pretty sharp and the out of the box over-the-air synchronization with Exchange is really sweet, the WinMo platform is just too laggy. I'm sending at least 20-30 emails a day from the device that I use and when I can out type the device it gets frustrating. The Blackberry is built from the ground up to send and recieve email and it handles that task with excellence.

There seems to be a larger following among developers since I last had a Blackberry (about a year now, which is ages in tech time). Flickr, Typepad, and Facebook all have native apps for the Blackberry.

The Blackberry Curve combined with Phonetag is mobile bliss.

That is, until the Bold comes out.
