It’s time for some hands-on device toying today. I have tinkered around with both a Curve and iPhone before, but in order to make a solid product eval you can only read so much on cnet or endgadget. And with the 3G model only going to be on display in the store on an “as needed” basis, a current one will work just as well. Then it’s off to a Verizon store to mess around with a Curve. This should add up to being asked “can I help you with something?” only 749 times today. I’ll keep a tally.

No Bold is available yet, but it is definitely on the watch list. Today should also shed some light into what features I am looking for and will need for a cool, yet productive, device. I’m pretty much in the middle right now, so it could go either way.
