So, here's my dilemma:

I currently have the VZW 8830, but i've been wanting to get a Curve for quite a while.

Now, I have the opportunity to switch to the AT&T 8310 for about $40. Should I do it, or should i wait for the CDMA Curve (that supposedly would be EVDO compatible).

I know the typical response is do you want to wait or not... I guess my main concern is the speed of EDGE versus EVDO. Anyone switched from 8830 on vzw over to the curve have any stories?

EVDO is much faster than EDGE. However, there is not even a rumored date for the Curve on Verizon. If you want the Curve you should likely switch.

As I would always ask myself, "Why not?" So, go for it!

Well, I can assure you that edge does suck compared to EVDO. I have browsed the internet on my friends iPhone and it is rather slow compared to my EVDO BlackBerry. But, I haven't really heard any rumors on the CDMA curve, so it may be a while. I guess you just have to choose what is more important to you. Internet speed or device.

I just switched from Verizon to ATT and EVDO is waaaay faster than Edge. But then again, by the time they do bring out a Curve, there would probably be three new models of BBs on the market already and the curve would have been out 18 months everywhere else and is "old" technology.

Damn i guess i suck cause i use GPRS cause i cant get EDGE where i live, im in Northern Ireland, and its rarely the Curve will get EDGE where i am, im using tmobile.

Thanks for all the responses!

I'm curious... the new BB9000 that is being rumored... if it were to come to the US, chances are it would hit AT&T or tmobile before it would ever come to VZW or Sprint, huh?

So i should just switch over to at&t anyway, if I don't want to wait forever for blackberries...
