Default BlackBerry Curve 8520 Frost Blue

I am having a tough time selecting a Blackberry. I tried a Pearl, but after using that I decided that I want a QWERTY keyboard. So I switched to a 8520 Frost Blue. I am having difficulty seeing the keypad depending on light conditions. I assume a black version would be as difficult to see. I am now even considering the older 8820, but is that old enough that I won't see it in stock at local dealers any longer? Are all of the Blackberry keypads difficult to see or are some better than others?

Why don't you jus get a 8900 or a Bold instead of downgrading to a 8830

I don't have an issue with the frost one at all. Keypads fine in bright light...then again I basically have memorized the keyboard so its not too big an issue for me.

Go with the Pearl White 8520! The 8820 is a good,solid device but it's too old now.You want the RAM and Memory of the newer devices.
