Crackberry Forum Post - 2015-05-31
        I just purchased an unlocked AT&T Blackberry Curve 8520. I moved my
        Cricket Wireless SIM into it, had the phone activated by Cricket support
        and can make phone calls.
        
        I'm trying out the Curve because I want a keyboard and a low price and
        some basic Blackberry applications could be useful.
        
        Some background, I'm a 60+ aged software developer, but have no
        interest in smart phones from Google/Android,Apple or Microsft. My personal
        computers are all running Linux. I have just purchased a Windows XP Pro
        retail license and plan to run XP in VirtualBox as my Blackberry application
        host.
        
        I would like to Manage
        * Contacts
        * Calender
        * SMS
        
        from my main personal workstation, probably with the XP VirtualBox
        guest. So a couple of requests for resources:
        
        1) Would it be possible to skip the XP virtual machine and just host
        my Curve from Linux? If so, can you recommend resources to
        get me started.
        2) Can you recommend resources to help me be productive from XP?
        
        Thanks.
