Need Cell Phone Guidance!

I have had terrible luck with my last 2 cell phones!!! I am starting all over, again, and have the choice of: blackberry curve, LG envy and the Dare. Would love to know if anyone has had any positive and maybe more importantly, and negative experiences with any of these phone.
Thanks
N.

What can I do next?

my husband works with the blackberry and does not like it.
i have the dare and i love it. i have had many cell phones and this one i will keep for a long time.
I can do so much with it. the only thing is that you have to do everything on the screen there is no key pad. i like it. it took a little getting used to but i had it mastered in days.
good luck

I love my envy. I've had it since November. It's easy to use and it has a ton of great features. It's very sturdy as well my husband has one as well and loves it.I text a lot and this is great for it. Good luck.

I have the Curve and I love it. I use to have the Pearl and loved it too. But the Curve has the full size keyboard and that was the attraction for me. I guess bottom line is what you need it for. If it is for business purpose I think the Curve is great. If it is just for you than you have to think about the fact that if you get any kind of blackberry is that you will also have to pay for internet connection.

my daughter spent hours and weeks researching cell phones. we all have the blackberry pearl (5 of us) and they are awesome. i bet the curve is too, we just wanted a small phone. with the 1 gig chip you can put awesome photos that are so clear and big on the screen and put music on there just to play through the head phones while grocery shopping. this is a new thing for me and i love shopping with my own music playing. love the pearl

Hi N.! Go with the Blackberry Curve!! Im not too familiar with the others, but my sis in law has the curve and I've tried it-results? Im getting it in September (one more month yayyy!!) Haha its a wonderful way to keep connected, its fast, the camera is good, everything works great (she hasnt had any problems since she got it).

It sounds like you are with Verizon? If so, look into the Chocolate. I have one (the "cherry" one) and I absolutely LOVE it!!! It's simple enough to understand how to use, but still looks cool and takes pictures. Good luck! :)

Hi N.,

I have a blackberry and I think it's been the most reliable phone i've owned. I used to have a windows operating system when I purchased the Treo and it gave me nothing but trouble. It was very unstable and would crash all the time and then all of my emails stopped working one account at a time. Once i got the blackberry it seemed much easier and user friendly. it's not as advanced as some of the windows phones but if you are looking for reliability then blackberry is the way to go in my opinion. I make sure I do all of my research before buying a phone as well so go to www.cnet.com and type in the phones name and see what customers who have purchased the phones think of it as well as the tech geeks because they can give good advice such as does it break easily when dropped, if it's compatible with bluetooth earpieces, what programs you can use on the phones, as well as the life expectancy of it.

I would go with the envy. I know so many people with that phone, my husband included and have never heard anything negative about any of them. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
