I currently switched back to my 8830 from the tour because I just missed it way too much. It just seems so much easier to type on and just seems so much more solid. Have I just grown too attached to this phone and now "over value" it or does anybody else like this phone. I guess I just like that this phone is bigger. with 4.5 now available I dont feel like I am missing much...am I?
How long were you using the Tour for? Not crazy, but maybe you didn't give it enough time. I don't think I could ever switch back just because of the huge difference in the displays.
very wierd.. I have a tour and my wife still has the 8330, and oh god, i couldnt go back. You actually get used to the keyboard after a while. But the speed of the tour alone was a done deal for me.

Congrats, "abuser"
And yeah, i think your missing out on the beautiful screen...
There are definitelyh aspects of my 8830 that I miss in the Tour. One is the slightly larger or wider keyboard and the other was a flawless trackball. I also liked that I could adjust the screen lighting manually. I could adjust the profiles to suit my needs.
The 8830 is quite frankly the best phone I ever had. With each upgrade in OS, it became more and more efficient. By the time I retired it for the Tour, the browser was so fast that I actually preferred using it to my laptop, and I have high speed internet. Compared to that, the Tour's OS is highly unsatisfactory; I've bricked my phone upwards of 10 times just doing routine stuff, and it has yet to match the speed of my 8830. Having said that though, I could never go back. The deal breakers for me with the 8830 were: no camera, very limited memory and a 2.5mm jack (and yes, I know you can buy an adapter). I still have mine, just in case, but it is unlikely that I'll ever use it again.

I understand you. I like the UI better on 4.5. I don't like the clear icons. Sure the screen resolution of the Tourbis better, but it's not that big of a deal. I personally like the 8330 curve. It was my favorite blackberry. I actually liked it better than the Bold I later switched to. So I guess that I am weird like you.
