Russell 's cell phone literally fell apart this week, and he has to have a new one. The Palm Centro is FREE at Walmart right now, so, we are considering that one. I thought we could get a FREE Blackberry Curve online but of course there was a catch. I have the Samsung Blackjack myself. I would love to hear what yall think of the Centro and if anyone has the Blackjack II as well to make a comparison.

Right now $ is tight and we are trying to get out as cheap as we can but want to good phone too.

THANKS!
 
I love my centro!! Never have used a "crack berry" apparrently they are even more addictive. I told DH we need to watch our minutes because I feel like i am constantly using my Palm Centro. I'm not. I just am loving it's features!

I think we figured out a way to "play the system" and get the Blackbeery Curve for only $20, so, we decided last night to go for it.

I have the Blackjack II. Russell told me he will take it if I like the Curve better. He is so sweet to let me have my choice of the one I want since it is his phone we are replacing!! HA!

We will not do the data plan either, we just like that type phone and the keyboard and the calendar.
 
I love my blackberry curve--or as I have come to call it-my "lifeberry". I've had it for 3 months and I can't imagine being without it.
