Should I get a Blackberry Curve?

Should I get the Palm Centro or Blackberry Curve?

• I have Verizon and currently have the enV. I seriously think it's time for a new phone. I am debating between the Blackberry Curve and Palm Centro. I've researched them online and they both have equal features in my favor and are both same price! I have a touch ipod, so I don't really care whether the blackberry curve has a touch screen like the palm centro (and really don't prefer another touch screen because it get quite annoying sometimes), which seems to be the big deal with the palm centro, but i love the centro's sleek design and excellent features. I also like the fact that it has IM-style text messaging. What I like about the Curve is the keyboard is bigger (which is excellent because i'm a big texter and IM-er) and the trackball looks much easier than tapping an up, down and side to side key a thousand times. I like them both equally, and I'd like some advice from people who have had both phones or have an opinion on one. I'll also consider other phone suggestions (other than the Voyager, enV II, or Blackberry Pearl). Thanks in advance!

• Answer:

  I personally recommend the Palm Centro. I have owned many palm PDA's and love them. My guess is that you find the touch screen on the ipod touch annoying because you use it to type, and that's a problem that the Centro doesn't have, since it has a keyboard along with the screen. The touch screen means you wont be using the buttons to navigate, so I don't think you would run into being bothered by not having a trackball. I think you were right however when you said that the two phones were very close together in features, so your best bet may be to go to a Verizon store, and try both phones for a while. Your opinion is the most important of all.
