I've had an 8330 for a while, and just got the 8530 as an upgrade. I like it, it's noticeably faster, but I'm curious regarding others' thoughts on the different (new) berries out there this fall. I've heard the Storm 2 is better than the Storm 1, but I don't think that's saying much.

I still have about 3.5 weeks to return/trade out the phone, and I wanted to know what would be considered the 'best' berry out there right now. Thanks for the help!!

Once you use large screen with opera mini you won't go back
I use the phone for both business and personal. It is mt only phone. I used to have s1 and can tell you the screen is way better. I van tell you that it works for the most demanding user.

Some people apparently don't like the clicking screen but I think it is a great feature and prevent mistakes and provides more functionality

You can go to the Verizon Wireless store and check out the Tour 9630 and the Storm2 9550 smartphones for new blackberry's to try out. The obvious difference is size and tactile feedback (one has physical keys while the other requires the physical push on the screen to type.) Try both and weigh your options and you can't go wrong with either phone.

I like my S2, I have yet to find anything I don't care for about the whole Storm2 experience... Once you try the S2 and acclimatize yourself to the touch screen, you'll never look back!

Seeing that you are on Verizon, i would tell you Storm 2. Or drop Verizon and get the Bold 9700 on T-Mobile or AT&T. I have AT&T, and no real complaints with their service. I know people complain a lot, but personally they have never given me an issue.

[Bajanbastard]

Storm 2 without a doubt.

The Tour is underrated. I have 5.230 operating system on it and it is the best.

I did, but it's tough to figure out which one is best, especially when one of the reps is standing 2 feet away from you talking your ear off. I had a lot of issues with mistypes on the storm2. What I'm gathering is that I shouldn't have picked up the 8530, though. Is the processor speed better on the 9630 or 9550? The more I think about it, the more I want the storm, but I've heard so much bad about the original storm. I don't want to be stuck with a crappy phone for the next two years.

9630 - go for it.

Tour has no wifi, that is majorly important to me at least. I would not pay good money for a smartphone without it. They fixed all the bugs on the original for the Storm 2, it looks and works great. Not even a fair comparison on the 2 storms. Not sure about processor speed, but the Storm does have the official 5.0 OS. That's another plus,

[dsvc1989]

You'll get used to the touch keyboard as you use it.

[dbentbroad]

Okay. I'm going to go with the storm2 I think.

What's the benefit of having wifi anyway?

Storm2 if you want a touchscreen, or the tour if you want a physical QWERTY.

Fastest method of uploading and downloading information....much faster than any 3G network from any provider.

Storm2 is the best Verizon's got ATM

[ilovemileyyy]

I would for sure get the Tour over the 8530 anyday.

[Hot94Z28#CB]

I say S2. I came from a 8900 curve and could not be more happy

9700 -- no issues with the optical tracker instrument .. so far so good!

[dbentbroad]

9700 isn't for Verizon though.

I had the Storm 9530 with VZW - dropped them a few weeks ago and now have the T-Mobile Bold 9700.

T-Mobile coverage isn't as good as VZW - but I did pay the extra $10 a month for the unlimited UMA calling.

I really do recommend the 9700 - it's a great BB.

Go with the tour, this is an upgrade from my prev.8830 I love this phone. The tour is the sh!t!!!!
