I dont know which to get? Which is more expensive?

Thanks

The 9700 is the flagship phone of Rim. The 8520 is a great entry level BB and the 9700 is the top of the line BB. 9700 will be more expensive because it is newer and better. Better screen resolution, camera, battery, 3G, and processor are some of the major advantage of 9700.

Thank youu, Im going to get the 9700 now the curve looks really plasticy.

[remyink]

9700 is far superior!

9700 for sure. I had the 8520 for about a week, it seemed extremmely cheap.

8520 is entry level and 9700 is for those with experience

[eds817]

If the 8520 is anything like the 8320 (I think it is the same phone) the difference is like night & day. (IMHO)

[denison1g]

I'd pick the 8320 over the 8520, regardless if the 8520 has more memory.

Rule of thumb with Blackberry's is the higher the model number sequence the better the phone.

Rule of thumb with Bl9700ackberry's is the higher the model number sequence the better the phone.

Minus the Storm...

Anyway, it's all about preference and what you need. Seriously, if you're not going to use your phone's capabilities, why go out and get the "best" one, based off of extras you won't use? The 8520 is a good phone. Plastic, yeah... but in many instances I found it more usable and better/faster than the 8900.

The 9700 is just THE DOOKIE though. If Chuck Norris had a foursome with a Mac, office phone and MP3 player... the mutant kids would be Bold 9700's.

Ferrari or Civic?

9700 is far superior to the 8520

Get the 9700. It is worth the money. Welcome to the group of proud 9700 owners.

[omgabunny]

I like Civics

[bigroy]

go to the store and play with them both and see which one fits you better thats the best way

[axe50]

9700 is much better, but I wish the protection the screen has on the 8520 existed on the bold- the screen appears to be almost under a protective layer on the 8520 while on the 9700 its just there...

I agree, I have both and the 9700 is far better in so many different ways.

There are many differences other than form factor, which have already been mentioned in this thread.

Yes the 9700 is better for it has far more capabilities but they are both berries so u cant go wrong but if u have to decide with the two get the 9700
