The phone has been great for the short time I've had it. I will take some pictures and post them today. As far as Cingular's network, I'm not sure what you mean. If you're talking about the data network then the answer is two-fold. Cingular is still rolling out HSDPA which provides broadband-like speeds, but the coverage isn't quite as expansive yet as Verizon or Sprint's EV-DO. If you're not in an area with HSDPA, you will default to EDGE which varies around 200 kbps.
At the end of the day, if you're buying a BlackBerry on Cingular then none of this matters as they don't support any data speeds faster than EDGE. I have no issues with this as my main uses for the phone are email, messaging and web browsing. If you're more likely to use your phone for streaming audio or video, tethering to your laptop or Slingbox media then the Curve, or any other BlackBerry for that matter, is not the best phone for you.
Let me know if you have any other questions about the phone.

Good look rudy, but I was looking more for actual screenshots of the phone.

You mean screenshots of iDrive or pictures of the phone itself? Phone pics are easily found on the site I linked to by clicking on "beauty"...

Actual pictures of the phone, everything I have seen has not been official.
