    Hi all, I currently have a Blackberry Curve 8310, from AT&T. I recently replaced the housing, cause it has gotten a bit worn. I am thinking of Upgrading my phone. Do you think the Blackberry 9700 is a good choice? Is it that much better than the 8310 curve? Or should I hold out for something better? I don't really have any issues with my present phone, just a significantly reduce battery life.

    The 9700 is 5 times the phone the 8310 is. It's better in every way imaginable. You couldn't go wrong with upgrading to it.

    Wow! ok then, i guess i will have to go with the 9700 I might wait a bit for AT&T to offer a better deal. Right now it's 199.99 after rebates, with a 2-year contract.

    Definitely go with the 9700. I went from an 8320 to it and it is great. If you are still in contract then cutting a deal with att is youyr only option. When you are out then let's talk, wirefly, a1wireless, walmart.com (run by let's talk but different deals) all will give you good upgrade prices. Good luck!

    I got the 9700 last week and I must say it is a beautiful phone in every aspect and I am absolutely in love with it. You cannot go wrong with this phone. I would highly suggest upgrading to it.
