    So, its time to move on from my 8330 from Boost, and Im curious to enquire, is the 8530 boost branded as great as the 8330? any problems with it?

    Just to name a few the 8530 has a faster processor, Wi-Fi, more memory and I think the track pad will be more reliable in the long run.

    Mine seems to run into intermittent data problems, where the data will stop flowing even though the 1XEV is still in capitals. I have to disconnect/reconnect in Connection Manager to start the data flow again. It was pretty bad the first two weeks, though it seems to have lessened this past week. Perhaps there was a problem with the local tower in my area.

    The best part about this newer Berry is the video camera. The picture quality is like night and day compared with the 8330's video camera.

    I wonder if it would be a mistake to get the 8530?

    It wouldn't be a mistake to purchase an 8530.

    Besides recently not having a trackball, it seems that my 8330 works great from Boost with no problems. And I know the newer BB's have horrible, horrible batteries.

    That's definitly not a good thing, since you and I both live in SE Michigan...

    The 8530 has been very good for me.
