Opinions please?

[uncracked8530]

Here's the thing...I had an 8530 which was da bomb for a year or so and it died a quick and painful (for me) death. Not wanting to succumb to a new contract and not eligable for an upgrade I ordered the 9330 (Ebay, 50.00) to replace it. In the mean time, I've been using a Samsung Galaxy Android. HATE the keyboards (both of them). Like the apps and touch screen a bit and the speed is much better than on the 8530. So....What I'm asking is would I be happy with the 9330 you think? Is it much faster than the 85? I doubt it's as fast as the android. I'm just fishing for some opinions here. I have Sprint 4G service, which isn't 4G at all in our area. I miss the keyboard, the calendar, word for my lists, but sorta like games, speed and the bigger screen on the Galaxy is awesome but things I can live without if I have to. Why can't we have it all?? LOL Thanks for your knowledgeable imput!

Hi!

Blackberry is the type of phone you want to get if you're really into social networking. However it is very very unreliable. The only reason South African's get it is coz of the good data rates. If android data rates are cheaper in your country I suggest you rather get any android phone, good phones (which are old, but in South Africa we get everything much much later.): Sony ericsson ray, Samsung Galaxy S2, the best!, as well as maybe the samsung ace (though this has been said to have some battery problems.). If you have to get a blackberry try to get a bold or torch. They have less problems than the curves.

I disagree. I have a 9330 myself and rarely have issues with it. I find it to be a very stable phone and its nice and fast. If your comparing it to a 8330 or 8530, there will be a significant increase in speed. The 8530 has a 512 Mhz processor in it, the 9330 has a 624 Mhz processor in it as well as 512 MB RAM versus only 256 MB for the 8530.
