Does anyone have one of these phones?

I've got a regular curve from work and i've been quite impressed with it, although it's a bit slow because it's only running on 2g. I currently have a SE Xperia X10 mini, a phone which I have loved up until it has been updated to android 2.1. Since then it has proved to be problematic and the only positive thing i've been able to say about it is, that the keypad is a bit less slugish.

The new phone won't arrive until probably Tuesday, and it can be returned within 7 days, so I do have some time to change my mind if needs be.

We've been selling these for quite a while now and they are really good phones. The only difference between one and a 9700 except for the large price difference is literally the screen resolution and camera (2meg instead of 3.2meg). We had a Blackberry rep come into work recently who said that along with the 9700 and I believe the Pearl 3g, the phone's software will be able upgradeable to the new OS6 when released officialy so it's pretty "future proof" in a way. hope that helps.

Thank you for that. It looks like I gain some useful things over the 8520 I have for work.

Wifes got one recently after a 10 year old Nokia and she loves it, and what's more can use it and she is not the most gadget savvy person I know biggrin

Good choice I'd say.
