Funny, the first time I got a Curve was in August when I was visiting my son in Texas. I picked it up at the T-Mobile store, played with it for a full day and returned it the next day. My two main gripes were that it couldn't render HTML emails and the lack of a decent office suite to read and edit Word docs. I actually liked just about everything else about the device, but these two issues were show-stoppers for me and why I returned it.

Not long after returning home to Virginia, T-Mobile made the update to OS 4.5 available, which OS addressed both of my gripes. So a couple weeks ago, I reordered it (and at $150 cheaper than when I first got it!), loaded OS 4.5 and I've been pretty much a happy camper ever since.

PI on the BB is still a non-starter as far as I'm concerned, which is a same because I've been using it on my Windows Mobile devices for years. On my Curve, anyway, it's really slow and hard to control (I want to go to a certain date and it doesn't, scrolling through dates is very slow, etc). I know Alex and the PI crew are working diligently on improving it and I really want it to evolve to at least a useable state so I can use it on my BB. I'm sure that point will arrive sooner rather than later.
