I finally dumped the low battery time, irrational malfunctioning Razr phone in November and upgraded to the Blackberry Curve 8310 in red. It's like upgrading from a Yugo to a Mercedes SLK. I have had none of the negative issues some of the other reviews mention - access through the 3G system for the internet, phone calls, email etc is speedy and consistantly works when asked to. I had AT&T service before with the Razr phone in the same location and had problems with reception all day long. That problem vanished with the Curve. I am finding that my email appears on my phone within just a minute or two after it appears on my computer.
