BlackBerry Curve 8330
Curve Browser
I'm in need of a new phone and my choice are narrowed down to the Verizon Curve or the iPhone. The AT&T network and no keyboard is holding me back from the iPhone and the browser is holding me back on the Curve.
So... how does the Internet browser function? I have a 8700 and the mobile only browsing is pretty bad. Is there HTML browsing on the Curve? If not, is the Curve at least better than my 8700?
Any other inputs on Curve vs iPhone is appreciated (but try to not ignore my main questions above).
Thanks!

the browser is prolly going to look/function similar to your 8700. The phone will not look like the iphone when it comes to web browsing.
I would choose the better network and better company over att and the iphone. The iphone is cool, but the lack of keyboard and no 3G internet is a huge downer....and you can't even send a pix message!! $400 for a phone and it can't send a picture message, cmon now.
Go with the curve on vzw, the phone is cheaper, the service is better, and internet is serviceable when you need to use it.
I've been using this phone for almost a week now, and its been a great device so far, and I'm so glad I held out for the phone. It is a huge upgrade from your 8700c and you will not be dissapointed in the perfor...

download opera mini browser for the curve and use that for browsing. As for whose service is better...blah blah blah, its all on your area and if you travel a lot. As far as the no 3g remark, the iphone 3g model will be out by the end of summer most likely. I was skeptical of the iphone virtual keyboard but having used several virtual boards, theres is the best. I myself do not have an iphone as im on sprint(but have used my buddies many many times now) and my 30/month unlimited plan is not something i will let go of for any phone. if your concern is browsing the inet then its the iphone hands down.
