My thoughts on the Blackberry Curve 8520 so far
Form size the device is small, light and easy to carry, the rubberised finish means it's easy to grip. I don't feel it as much in my pocket as I would do with my iPhone. That can be both good and bad of course but it is a nice device. Quite slim too.

Patch: iPhone Update
This raises two points: first, the iPhone is the easiest phone I've ever used in terms of updating. Just plug it into iTunes and go; second, how many phone providers provide updates so quickly as Apple does? The answer is none. Let's hope Apple keeps it up.
