Does the 4th picture indicate you can possibly have more options for icons? I mean having 5 icons on the "main screen" not the app screen is majorly annoying and I'd like to be able to choose to have 5, 10, or all on that for example. It shouldn't require a new "theme" to do so. I am certainly a fan of better browsing (flash, java, youtube, etc) as so many sites you just have to give up on if you can't get what you need. Often password protected stuff just ends up failing miserably. I honestly could care less about candy coating and color menus....give me stability and functionality. I'd like to better tweak things too.... the sound profiles are annoying. Why is it such a pain to make a custom one? As far as I can tell, you can't copy an existing one and edit from it. That would have been handy last weekend when I wanted to make a vibrate version of my custom profile. I basically have it set for light indicators for everything but calls, where I have a tone and I wanted that to be vibrate. Yes, I could change it from ring to vibrate and back, but the point is, I'll need it more than once and I'd like a separate profile for that. I have to say overall I was pleasantly surprised by *most* things on my Blackberry Curve. It is a work provided phone, so it wasn't something I "chose" but it has for the most part been a pretty good phone and data device. I had many complaints about my old Treo at a previous employer, that was a LOT more buggy. I know people love touch screens, but honestly a good trackball does better for me. Sure you can't "flip" through things, but then again you don't smudges, a hot screen on your face or heaven forbid like the old Treo, the touch going crazy and making calls to other people when you're in a call. Navigation wise and keyboard wise, I've found my old Sidekick 3 and my Blackberry Curve to be better than the Treo (winmo) or Iphones. I like a full qwerty keyboard and not one that is too small that the tactile does no good. It's just a preference and plenty of people like the on screen ones, but for me, I like to type quickly and for me that is the best way. Just an opinon, plenty of non tactile kb phones out there selling like hot cakes.
