Default Best choice for Realtor Use?

I am a Sprint customer ready to switch to Blackberry, and I am interested in opinions on a question. Between a 8830 WE, a 8130, and the upcoming 8330... which would be the better choice? Understanding the 8830 lacks a camera, I was just wondering what the BB public thinks about these options. Thanks for the assistance.

I'd go with the 8330 - Camera (for site photos) and GPS (so you can get somewhere quickly) if you don't have those things already. I'm not a big fan of the 81xx series because I like a full keyboard. If you don't need those things, then the 8830 is your cup of tea. I guess it depends on what the sprint price points are, really. Or that's what it would be for me.

I'm gonna say the 8330.

You can quickly take a photo and email it to somebody or upload it to a website (with a little 3rd party software). You also have the ease-of-use of a full QWERTY yet it is still a fairly small device and will fit nicely into your choice of carrying equipment without getting in the way.

I would go with the 8330 as well. The camera can come in handy for you and it has a full keyboard.

Thumbs up

I'm a Realtor and I have a Curve. I like the full keyboard and the ability to take photos. I have the 8300 so I don't have GPS but I use google maps and that works good enough for me.
