Where did you get the protective case for your Blackberry?

[KristyU2178]

@babyb360 ebay! the 8520/8530 are the same phone so you can do a search under that. It is called TPU which doesn't get dusty, dirty or catch in your hair. It's smooth like a soft, pliable plastic.

I really want this phone! in every review that Ive watched people are saying its a pretty good phone! oh and I was wondering why they don't have the Blackberry curve on the Virgin Mobile Website?

[KristyU2178]

@hay3now I'm not sure why it's not on their site but they do still have it available. I think if you look elsewhere on their site you can find it b/c that's how I did recently. I think they are trying to push the Android type phones now more.

Why did you use wifi in this video instead of the normal 3G connection? Is there something wrong with the 3G, does it not work well all the time?

[KristyU2178]

@brainboob I was on wi-fi b/c I was home and it automatically connects to it when I'm home. If I wasn't home then I'd be on the 3G. 3G is not going to be nearly as fast of course....but what I've learned is that when I was on my phone in NY City it was working just fine....faster than when I am not in the city and on 3G. Maybe more cell towers?? When I'm in a store that blocks phone calls and has bad reception the 3G is slow as anything.

And by the way, thanks in part to your thorough responses, I just ordered this phone. It's currently on sale for 79$ at walmart.

@KristyU2178

Thank you for your thorough replies. You have pretty much convinced me that this is the right phone for me on the virgin mobile plan. I am returning to virgin mobile actually, after being screwed over by t-mobile as a result of some website charging my phone for no reason. T-mobile is overpriced, they charge way too much tax and they do not protect the customer. I hope companies like that collapse down on themselves, I really do.
