Hello there,
My dad's been offered a BB curve 3g to upgrade from his current phone. He doesn't want a new phone, so has offered it, or anything that o2 will give him for the same price (free) to me. He's on a business tariff with, I think, three phones if that makes a difference.
I currently have an n95 8gb, which is really slow, I find, at simple tasks, opening a text message seems to take ages. I use an o2 pay&go deal whereby I get unlimited texts and internet, I also use it often to browse when I have wifi connection.
My requirements from a phone are:
wifi
reasonable camera (Is the BB's pretty pants?)
3g preferably for web browsing
better browser than the n95 (I only really use forums and bbc news etc, the n95 is okay for it, but not brilliant)
e-mail would be good, I never managed to get the n95 working with it
not dog slow
So does the curve 3G fulfil those tasks? What else would o2 offer at the same price point? Quickly looking at their website, the HTC HD mini and the Sony E Xperia X10 mini pro seem to be both cheaper than the BB. What are they like? The HTC is windows mobile, is that good or bad? I see that the Sony E is android which is quite attractive due to the range of apps that are available (?)
