    I was comparing the old curve to the new curves, and what I realized was that the original curve felt much better in the hand then the newer models, and I was wondering if anyone else felt this?

    Think most people with experience of the two series' feel that the 83xx is built stronger. I have both here and my thoughts are that the 83xx as a premium device (in its day) has more detail, rigidity and strength to it.

    Maybe more importantly, the 83xx keyboard is more contoured and easier to type on; the 85xx is flatter and fiddly.

    You can press the screen of the 85xx inwards and make it go all wobbly, the 83xx however might break your thumbs first.

    I'm looking for an upgrade this year, a key requirement for me will be that the phone is as physically tough as the 8310 I'm running right now; it just seems more money and thought went into the design of the body.

    yeah I wish that RIM would just take the old Curve and shove the newer electronics into it. Don't redesign perfection. But of course it will have the optical trackpad, but all devices now have that.
