How long have you have you had your blackberry curve for? any problems?

I had my Alltel Blackberry Curve for two years, and I loved it. The only problems I had was the ball sticking and getting old (which has been replaced by a "touch" track pad) and by the end of the two years, my phone started getting slower internet& performace wise. But I have the new curve now, and I love it even more. (: But, I did have insurance. My phone got water damage (which insurance doesnt cover) but I ripped off the water damage sticker off the battery (I did what I had to do), and insurance covered my new phone, costing me only 100$, compared to $400. But overall, theyre tough phones & I dropped mine plenty of times and never had any problems, besides a scratched screen so I recommend a screen protector.
