- Good afternoon / morning.
I was going to post this in the storm forum but ill be honest, i dont really wonna get flamed for a simple question.
I joined CB getting my first blackberry, the storm. And just like the rest i want something thats worth paying �60 a month for. I love blackberrys and im wanting to stick with it. Im one of these that always look for the future. "The new update coming soon, it will make my storm better" senario.
Im abit fed up of it now and just want a more reliable Blackberry and im going to ring up vodafone and try my arm in getting a different model. Exchanging it etc.
I dont know anything about any of the other blackberries and this is what voda offer. The Pearl, bold and curve. Which one is the best. I cant wait for the new phones coming out because i will have to cancel my contract and pay for that. Which will be about �600.00.
Thanks guys

Out of the options, the bold is more current then the curve, but personally i like the feel of the curve more then the bold.05-20-09 08:07 AMLike 0 - Before i select the bold im going to ask if Vodafone know if they getting any of the new BB's worth a try. Doubt they will tell me but hey.
I just rang them, and their is no way i can change the handset. I dont even mind paying but i dont want to PAY for the end of contract.
Anyone been able to get around this ?

They told me I would have to wait 6 months before I could upgrade. So in the end I took out a second 18 month contract out and got my bold for free, then I changed the contract I had on the curve to the lowest tarrif I could.
I pay around �40 pm for the Bold and around �17 for the curve. So the total is less than �60 pm (that is less than what you are paying now for one phone).
It might be worth ringing them up and see if they will let you do a similar thing.

I am currently waiting for my contract renewal date in September before changing phones. As I wanted to try BB, I bought a 8800 from Ebay at �50 and am running that at the moment. I swapped my unliomited WEb for Unlimited BB, Works very well and I prefer it to my previous XDA Ignito05-21-09 05:28 AMLike 0 -
