I’m thinking about getting the Cricket Kyocera Sanyo Zio phone or the Cricket Blackberry Curve… I heard the Zio is better but that it has a slow-responding keyboard. Does anyone know? And do you have a short review on it? Also, which do you think is a better phone to get and why? Thanks so much…


I just got the Zio and my girlfriend has been using the Curve for a couple weeks and I would definitely say go for the Zio. It’s true, that the Zio has a slower keyboard but only on the display, meaning that it shows up slowly but it’ll still type everything you put in. As far as overall specs the Curve is more for a business kind of person, and unless you constantly check your e-mail, organizer, calendar and so forth the Zio is much more advanced and user friendly. Keep in mind that the operating system that the curve uses is very rigid, while the Zio uses Android and keeps constant updates and changes.
On a small separate note I looked at reviews for Blackberries and Android phones and Android generally comes out on top; the reviews only restate what I mentioned about the Blackberry being more business-like.
Give the Sources a quick check for extra info.
