does this apply to the curve too? (8320)
i was a long time treo user as well. tried the iphone out for a month when it first came out. switch over to blackberry and havent looked backsince. when it comes to touchscreen vs physical qwerty, i personally choose qwerty. the iphone was easy to use like the palms, but typing on it drove me nuts.took a while to get use to NOT pressing the screen bc it was so convenient. but dont worry, rumor has it bb is working on a touchscreen with physical qwerty
Truthfully I'm not too sure. I'm just going based on what i read off crackberry.com (GREAT site btw for all bb users) On my old phones Iuse to let it drain to 0 and give it like a 12 hour recharge to "boost" the battery up. On the tour they say to do the excate opposite, the type ofbattery it is, it's best to keep it charged as often as possible

Talking about Mobile IM? You can download actual AIM through AppWorld, I have no complaints really from it (then again, I've only used itmaybe 10 times. I rarely use it).

What are the chances I get this white version if my current bold gets lost or stops working?
For twitter I use ubertwitter.. no problems with it, and its the only twitter app i used. Only thing I don't like is you can't see the trending topics.
Yes you can.
