So i got rid of my Cingular 8125 running mod WM6 for a new phone. Picked up a Blackberry curve (this is my first BB, all my other phones were Palm OS or WM). It seems pretty solid and with the built in GPS runs google maps really well.

So anyone else got one? How do you like it?

I wanted to wait for the 9 series but I needed to get a phone. It was a pretty good deal to $100 after the rebate and upgrade. Data plan cost went down to apparently. I remember it being $50 for a personal at one point.

Has anyone noticed the battery drains pretty quickly on the Curve. Out of the box I got about a day and a half on it. Anyone notice this?

I changed my settings around to see if improves but I had a treo 650 and a Cingular 8125 and those things would go almost a week on a full charge.

I turned down the brightness of the screen to 50% and now I get 2+ days out of the thing. The screen is just a power hungry thing ha.
