    Well I have been doing much research and I've narrowed it down to the BB curve 8830, as i need a upgrade from my LG choco for collage. The one thing i am woundering is if i should buy the 8330 now or wait for the thunder/storm.

    thanks

    Welcome to the world of Crackberry, Tw1tch.

    Two things to consider:

    1. Are you a physical keyboard person or more of the touchscreen persuasion? It's probably the biggest factor for most people when deciding on a smartphone. What's your main reason for wanting a BB -- email, organization, taking notes? Personally, I couldn't do those things for long on a touchscreen.

    2. How soon/how bad do you want a Blackberry? If it's gotta be now or the next few weeks, the curve's it. Don't know about telus's release plans for thunder, could be awhile...

    I mainly looking at getting a BB so I can easily stay connected with friends an family as i am moving to goto college. I would say im much on a keyboard person, emails,text msg, but the BB interface looks so confusing.

    Nah, it's not confusing. It's pretty simple to learn. This was my first smartphone, and I learned it rather quickly.

    Isn't a collage a bunch of pictures put on a poster board? I'm guessing you will need a BB when you go to college!

    Don't let the interface daunt you -- you'll catch on fast. A few minutes with the quick start guide and you'll be well on your way. There's a reason why we're all addicted...you'll find nothing but enablers on this website

    Like everyone else, I say go for the curve.
