    Default new guy-- bold or curve?

    What is the big difference? I have a storm now and not sure if I will stick with it. I am considering one of these other ones.

    What is the draw from one to the next? THey seem the same other than the curve is bit smaller?

    Curve is a great phone...

    Well if you are on Verizon and don't want to switch to another carrier, the Bold is coming to Verizon (codename: Niagra) in the first half '09. If the specs I read are correct it will have updated styling versus the AT&T Bold and will feature upgraded camera and screen resolution.

    To me, Bold vs. Curve is just a personal preference.

    ^^ agree but I think that the non 3G 8900 is more reliable as a phone.

    Curve is smaller and has better resolution. Bold has 3g and better speakers. Both are great phones.

    Curve...no doubt. The Bold is noticeably larger when handling it.

    Pretty simple.... which form factor do you prefer? Does 3G matter to you? Do you care about paying more $/month to AT&T?

    What does paying more per month have anything to do with the decision.

    Well if you were seriously torn between the two phones, that are on different carriers (disregard being able to buy unlocked phones), then having a much cheaper phone bill could be the deal-breaker.

    Oh I see. That is a big reason I do not mind purchasing unlocked phones and not being under contract. More flexibility on choosing the carrier I wish to do business with.

    Given that you're currently on Verizon, it seems to me that you have just about no choice but to stick it out until the Niagara comes out. Paying to get out of your contract I assume, if anything like Rogers, is just plain robbery ($20 for every month remaining). So looks to me like its neither the curve or the bold for you.
