BlackBerry 8830 WE vs. BlackBerry Bold 9700

[s_masuzumi]

Hello,

I used to have a BlackBerry 8830 WE, and now I've been without a cell phone for close to over a year, and was thinking of picking up the BlackBerry Bold 9700. I really like the look of this model, and was wondering if I could get some of your input to whether this is a good upgrade from the BlackBerry 8830 WE? I was thinking of getting it from WIND Mobile.

Thank you.

I had an 8830WE and it is not even in the same class as the 9700. The 8830WE was discontinued some time ago and both RIM and VZW stopped offering support it once they realized it needed to be retired. The 9700 is a very solid, stable BB and without a doubt one of the best BB's ever released. The 9700 is a great device for personal and or business use. The real question is do you get a 9700 or wait for a 9780? Either way you can't go wrong.
