I have now switched to the newest Curve in the family of BlackBerry's. I have been so happy with this BlackBerry that I have no desire to steer away from the BlackBerry family. If you've read my last review on the BlackBerry Curve 8330 then your really going to enjoy this review!! Not only did my last Curve give me a great amount of space but due to the circumstances of having to downgrade back to my Pearl for a couple of days due to the fact I was trying to be a kid again I never got the chance to fully learn the Curve. But since buying the BlackBerry Curve 2 and using it on a daily basis I am enjoying all the functions and space that I have on it!

The only thing that I do miss is having a flash on my camera but due to going to a concert that partook outside I did get to try out out it looked in the nighttime on camera mode and I have to say that if you go to a concert you may want to take a digital camera. I am disappointed that RIM didn't make this model with a built-in flash on the camera but I am learning on how to deal with it. Not only does this phone have a camera but it also has a video camera, voice note recorder, and a music player! If you have purchased on of these phones, I do have to warn you that you may need to get a memory card as most of your music, pictures, and videos are stored on there as well as ringtones if you purchase any!

When switching to the BlackBerry software version 4.7 to version 5.0 took me a good day because the setup was similar yet different. I was able to use more sophisticated folders to store applications. The BlackBerry messenger and the SMS text as well as MMS systems were the ones that I had to relearn as it was all in chat mode and to choose recipients were setup differently. But with learning the software I would have to say that RIM definitely did a wonderful job on the upgrade!

Many applications that I use on my BlackBerry are: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, WeatherBug, Loopt, foursquare, Craigslist, eBay, Pandora, as well many of the apps included in the BlackBerry package. I would have to say that if you are looking to upgrade from a smaller BlackBerry, like the Pearl, the Curve is the way to go!

The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is the latest BlackBerry I've invested in and I have to say that it is the best one I've made so far! Memory has not been an issue for me at all and I have even picked up more applications on the Curve then I had on a Pearl! I have also learned more tricks to having and using many of the features on the phone and it has been great sharing these many tricks with others in the BlackBerry world!

Many features I use daily on my BlackBerry include: Facebook, Twitter, BlackBerry App World, BlackBerry Maps, MapQuest (yes I use MapQuest while having BlackBerry maps because MapQuest has yet to fail me and I've gotten lost at least once while using BlackBerry Maps), Calendar, MemoPad, WordPress, WeatherBug, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, as well as using BlackBerry Messenger! Some specs that I am thankful for being on my BlackBerry are: video camera (great for catching some hilarious party moments as well as lifes simple achievements).

*As a farewell message* I would say that with me majoring in the field that I am getting back into college for, the BlackBerry was a great investment for me! However, I do believe that a regular Joe Smoe who is looking for a phone to do everything that they need, this would be a perfect phone to jump right into!

Blogging Mobile

So I now have a better BlackBerry were I can have more than 5 apps. It is also one were I can have the WordPress application on it, so it means more time for blogging! Which I totally miss since I really don"t use my laptop much! I have been extremely busy mending my relationship with the ex-boyfriend who cheated on me! I know, I know; you are probably all wondering why I went back! Well, it's all complicated...to the point that it may end up needing its own post!

Well, I just was wanting to let ya'll know that alive and well! Miss ya all and cannot wait to hear your comments!

The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is the latest version of the  Pearl line of BlackBerry's. It has many great features such as the BlackBerry Messenger, voice notes, calendar, BlackBerry App World, and much much more!! It has the Bluetooth capability to hook up to more than 1 Bluetooth enabled device. Built-in 1.3 MegaPixel FLASH camera you would hardly tell whether it was off a cell phone at all. Although it does not have a Full Qwerty keyboard it does have a SureType Qwerty keyboard which makes it the perfect BlackBerry to learn on! It also has the smallest amount of memory for the beginners with only 64MegaBytes which users can grab some extra space by getting a microSD memory card.

Changes, Updates, & More

I just would like to take the time out today to thank you back to the site or even welcome you if your a first timer!! It has been quite a while since I've updated due to things happening outside of the laptop.  Most of it has been working but there has been family issues and other things. But right now we are focusing on the site!! There are changes being made in which you will notice within a month or so!! Those will be discussed later!! But for now I must update you on a few things!!!

Updates:
I have recently within the last four months went from working at Kroger part-time to working at Meijer full-time as a produce clerk. I work the midnight shift which is fun so most of the time I've spent sleeping and working. Also I have trying to get things back to normal after my uncle passed and other things that have happened!! Also glad to mention that I have upgraded my phone to a BlackBerry so I may be able to keep up on things a lot more!!

Changes:
Changes being made to the site is the theme and banner!! I wanted to go with things that showed or has adapted to my personality. Second I am going to be changing The Words of Wisdom Campaign blog to be featured in this blog, which means that The Words of Wisdom Campaign blog will be moved onto this blog. Not only is The Words of Widsom Campaign moving to this site but so are many reviews!! I will find a way to make all previous reviews I have done [whether they be posted on the review site, this site, or any other site] available on this site by July 2010!! Most of my changes I am hoping to have started by January 1, 2010 and have them completely or always on this site by July 2010.

As a small disclaimer I do want to say that this site will be keep organized to the best that I can have it. I would like your feed back and in that case, I may have a feedback page!! I just want to leave you on a small little thought of the day:
When life knocks you down, get back up and fight harder
