From Pearl to Curve

I’ve had my BlackBerry Pearl for about two years now. The previous phone I used before my BlackBerry Pearl was the Razr. I was totally amazed with all that the Pearl could do compared to the Razr, but months later I started wanting more from the phone. The standard internet browser on the Pearl is horrible beyond belief. The phone is often laggy and freezes numerous times a day. The thing that bothers me the most about the phone is that it actually can not receive some text messages! The phone will vibrate as if you have a new text message, but wont actually show the message. The only way I’ve found out how to cope with this issue is to take the battery out and let the phone reboot.
I’m the type of guy who loves mostly everything about Apple. With that said, I wont be upgrading to the iPhone for a few reasons. The first reason is that it would take $200 per phone to start on at&t. Secondly, at&t overall sucks. T-mobile I think has served my needs better than at&t in the past. Also, I bet Apple will end up launching a new iPhone in the coming months, and I hate to be one generation back on technology.
