i have a pearl right now and im planning to upgrade to the curve but since my current carrier is rogers, the best option for now is the 8310... im tryin 2 figure out whether i need to hold out until the 8330 comes out or if the 8310 is just as good

enquiring newbie mind wants 2 know...

thx in advance

I believe Rogers is GSM...but the 8330 is CDMA...so you'd have to switch over to Bell or Telus to use it.

^^ Correct.

And the 8310 has built-in GPS.

oh... so r u saying that the 8330 is STRICTLY a CDMA device and there will be no GSM version?.... if so, then i guess i can do my upgrade right now then.... im still curious to know if that's the only diff between the 2 phones

[xandrex#IM]

The 8330 is just the name for the CDMA version of the Curve. 8300, 8310, and 8320 are all GSM versions with slight variations of WiFi, GPS, etc. If you're on Rogers, you will not be able to get the 8330, so you should choose the 8300, 8310, or 8320.

thank u xandrex... then it's 8310 for me then... rogers doesnt offer the 8320 anyways.... they dont want us to have access to he wi-fi

thanks 2 all who responded

You can buy an 8320 off our Buy Sell site (or eBay, etc.) and use on Rogers, if it is an unlocked device (to work on other carriers other than the one it is branded to).

yeah i know but i rather have the built-in gps than the wi-fi... and from what i understand the 8320 doesnt have gps

correct - the 8320 doesn't have the gps

i have an 8310 & the GPS feature is so convenient for when i'm in search of local businesses, restaurants, & etc that are near me.
