Need input from 8830 owners please!

I got a brand new in the box replacement 8703e from Sprint because the one I had for 1 1/2 years finally died (and it was my fault).

Since I am impatient and couldn't wait a week for the replacement I bought a brand new 8830 WE from a third party.

My dilemma is I like many of the features of the 8830 and overall it is a better phone, but my 8703 keyboard was much easier to use (which is what I use the most out of the phone)and I prefer the track wheel over the the track ball. I'm sure I can get used to the trackball because all berries are going that direction. So now I have two new Blackberries and I don't know which one to keep and which one to sell.

So my questions are-
Has anyone else made a similar Blackberry switch and thinks that it was the right decision?
After using the 8830 for a period of time do you still love it?

Like anything else you use over time you will get used to it! (the keyboard and trackball) stick with the newer model

When I had my 8703e I hated the keyboard on the 8830 and said that I would never use it. Verizon then decided to send me an 8830. I was a little hesitant at first but now I love it. The keyboard is just as easy to type on as the one on the 8703e and I love the trackball.

There's rumor that the Curve might be coming to VZW. I'd wait unil that happens... the keyboard on that is mo betta in my opinion.

You'll like this one better.

I dumped my 8703 in favor or the 8830 about 3 weeks ago and have no regrets....GPS, sd slot, track ball....I think the 8830 is a much better phone...never noticed much of a difference in the keyboard.

Thanks for the replies! I am starting to get used to the 8830 so it will be the keeper!
