What is the difference between a smartphone and say the new Rogue?
I have a VZ Curve and I know what it offers as far a texting, email, and the web. Frankly I have not been a big fan of constant battery pulls, and the fact that sometimes the phone does not ring at all when someone is trying to call, plus the fact it costs $30 extra a month for these services. If I went with the Rogue or for that matter any of the "dumbphones", what are their email, web, and messaging differences from what I am using?

1. Are you properly shutting down applications on your BB after you are done using them (selecting close from the options menu) or are you just hitting the end/back key. This is the biggest reason I've seen people come in about slow service/missed calls
2. I would steer clear of the Rogue until some reviews are out about it. Remember, it is the replacement to the Glyde, which was a horrible phone.
High end dumbphones will give you full html access, and the ability to connect to most POP3 accounts, but they will not "push" these messages to your phone, so you have to check the email on the web, and only basic text messages will work.

Thanks for the info. I really don't need the push email so that may be the way to go. I'll keep trying the BB for now and try to close the apps. when I'm done with them.

Also try this, goto crackberry.com. Look for a app called quickpull, its free. You can set it up to do a daily battery pull automatically. I have ours set up to do it in the morning when we wake up, set it to do it 10 minutes before you wake up, and the phone will be on and waiting for you when you get up with the memory reset.
But the above is for our storms. My sister in law has the curve, and she never seems to have a problem, but I dont think she has a lot of apps on her phone either.
