good phones, they have been classed as a girly version of the bold, and a poor mans bold. internet is slow if not in wifi area as its not a 3g handset.

if you done need 3g, they are a cracking little phone!

Seems a bit steep tbh.

Bold is better IMO. Curve feels plasticky

£90 on a £30 a month contract on a phone that's not even 3g is a joke.
