Yay a BB question. I’m kind of a BlackBerry fanatic.
Let’s start out with the 83xx Curve.
It’s a great starter BlackBerry, especially because it’s so cheap. It works well, is fast and just a great phone overall. I think I’ve dropped my curve about 10 times on hard ground, and the most that’s happened is the battery door flew off.
The Storm is great if you want a touch screen. However you actually click the screen instead of just pressing on it with your finger tip. It’s a bit bigger than the rest of the BlackBerries (with the exception of maybe the Bold), but I think it’s awesome. Plus the Storm II is coming out! Woo!
The Curve 8900 This is my FAVORITE BlackBerry. It’s super sleek and it’s just an overall great phone. It’s incredibly fast, super light, and it’s about the same size as the 83xx. It’s honestly just an amazingly awesome phone.
The Bold is probably a BlackBerry I’ll never buy just because to me it’s freakin’ huge. It is a beautiful phone though. Different keyboard than the 83xx’s and the 8900 but you’d get used to it.
The 8520 just recently came out in Black and Ice Blue. This one doesn’t have the trackball, but it has an optical trackpad. I’ve heard tons of great things about this phone, and like the Curve 83xxs it’s a great starter phone.
Then there’s the Gemini, Onyx, Driftwood, Storm II, and some others that are still making their debuts.
Any other questions or if you want specifics, let me know.
