Seeking Opinions bb 8130 Verizon

[tpierce67]

I've had the 8130 now for a couple months and LOVE it. I had the same concerns with suretype coming from other devices with qwerty KB's. It took me about 2 days to get jiggy with it and now I don't even notice the dif.
I do have the occasional problem with "new" words and Abrv's. The custom dictionary is your friend.....use it for those unique words and phrases.
Like others have said.....don't watch the screen while you type. I still do it sometimes and it will frustrate you. Patience, patience, patience.......it's a great device and you will come to love it as much as the other crack-addicts do.

I had a treo, and a Q (Verizon). and switched to AT&T to the pearl (1st BB) and I will never use any phone other than a BB again. It will take a week or two to get use to the
keyboard but, then its a breeze.... I am so use to it now, I tried to use a friend BB curve with full keypad and was having a hard time.....

The extras for the BB's are incredible... like this site.... can't beat a BB!!

One question here... Since I am seeking the opinions between the Q and the BB 8130..
I used to hardly ever delete text messages on my Q. I could leave them stacked forever in my inbox.. I have my BB set to keep message for 15 days.. BUT I do text a LOT! Any idea how many this phone will store before it truly affects how quickly the phone functions?
I did get a micro sd card last night (finally came in the mail) and will transfer my ringtones to it.. Will my micro sd card store the themes as well or will those transfer directly to the phone?
I REALLY hope I am making sense here!
