thanks for both the explanation (Donn) and the sound sample (Luke). Unfortunately, "hurry" is pronounced differently in British and US English [1], so again I was a little bit confused :-). But Luke's sound sample made it clear for me.
I think "curry" is too - I would still pronounce it to rhyme with "hurry" even though I have a British accent. I think in the presence of accents it's not always sensible to look for a single "correct" pronunciation - clarity of communication is the only really important thing, and that will probably be maintained whatever you do with that vowel.
