I was always saying things like, "hey remember when we used phones to make calls?" but the tide has turned that opinion to sand.
My wife got one a few months ago and I was mildly jealous and so when it was time to get new plans and phones I got a Blackberry curve. 8530 or something.
I am very pleased with it, it does everything I want and more. The free apps are pretty good. Weather channel, poynt (which is like VZ Navigator but it actually works), ScoreMobile which allows me to track every sport I want to with scores and news, the weather channel, and the all-important Facebook.
I can see why they call it Crackberry...
