Still in love with the Blackberry Curve
Well I’ve had one for four days now, and am still very much in love with my new toy. I’ve discovered it has a 1 GB hard drive, so one can still thousands of photos in it before it even gets close to full. Also the camera can do up to a 5x zoom.
The GPS works fine, and is faster than the GPS in my car. Unlike the car GPS though, no close up maps of NZ are yet available which is a small pain. Hopefully they will become available before too long.
Getting the e-mail to work was very easy. Just clicked onto the configure e-mail button, then logged into Blackberry with my existing username and password. It then recognises I have a different blackberry ID, and it asks whether e-mail should now be sent to this new one. You say yes, and that’s all that is needed.
Yet to try out the video player on it – will try copying a TV show onto it and seeing how well it works.

Dont forget to declare your free gift on your tax return. About $550 worth.
lets hope someone at IRD sees this and puts a note on your file, or a little sparrow calls them and has a discussion

Hey David
Just got a curve 3 weeks ago when my 7290 fell off the desk and broke its screen.
If you do download Google Maps 4 Mobile could u give us an indication of how much data it uses for grabbing map data as I am thinking of grabbing it myself and and dont want to be paying for 20 meg of data from the maping.
Also how have you found the GPS in town? I find it does not find satelites about 1/3 of the time and I am not sure if I have a funky phone or if cities are just bad for GPS signal.
Regards
Alexander
