These things are confusing. They're like the Macs of the phone world.

Blackberry's have a learning curve. So do Mac's. Your point is?

I use mine as a cell phone, an address book and to send and get emails. Probably other stuff I can do but those are the basics for me.

Macs have a learning curve? I got used to mine in less than a minute. If anything PCs have a learning curve. Congrats on the new phone.

Yes, if you're not used to the way things work, especially shortcuts. Alt-F4 is now CMD-Q, etc.

Thats about as far as I got too haha. I figured out the maps/directions programing too thats a cool feature.

The keyboard takes time to get used to but theyre great once you've got it.

You text slowly? Doesn't it have a little QWERTY keypad?! Sheesh..I would be flying on that even vs. the predictive texting on my normal phone.

It's a Smart Phone. A phone that can also be an internet surf tool, a text messaging device, an email device, a camera, a media player, a toaster (just kidding)

I don't know what makes it confusing. I'm on my 3rd one now and I find it to be very straight forward in operation.


Peace,

James

Not that big, not fugly, and definitely easier/better to use.

Have fun using, or rather, not using, your pearl.
