So, it's upgrade time. What are the opinions on going with the 3G curve vs the Bold 9650? Which would you choose and why?
Thanks for any feedback.

Bold! It has high resolution screen than curve 3G. I tried the curve 3G and I can't stand os6 on it! The resolution us wayyyy too low! I believe the processor is a tad faster on the bold, correct me if I'm wrong. The curve keyboard is good but crap compared to a bold keybaord. I don't miss the loud clicking on the curve devices. The battery is better for the bold than the curve but u have to remember that faster processor/high res screen will prob degrade the battery abit so I would say the battery life would be somewhat equal. Of course this is just a theory.

The processor is the same.
Bold has faster data speeds.
Bold has bigger battery.
Bold has higher res screen.
Bold has a more expensive 'feel' to it.
Bold has flash.
Bold has different keyboard.


The above costs 200 dollars.
You decide.

I would definitely go with the Bold. The curves are nice, but the screen resolution and just the feel of the curve is enough for me to pass on them. I also prefer the Tour/Bold keyboards over the curves.

All true except what's in bold. The 9330 does Rev. A data speeds just like the 9650 does (I assume that's what you're referring to). It's one of the added upgrades from the 8530 (which had Rev. O).

The Bold can also be used with GSM carriers, very handy for International travelers.

I used a 9330 for 30 days and couldn't wait to get my 9650 back. The only thing that's better on the 9330 is the speaker is slightly better. I got the 9330 and a upgrade, just to have a backup BlackBerry, and got the 9650 as a replacement to my Tour. I basically paid $80 for the Bold. My big problem with the 9330 Curve is POCKET DIALING. It happened constantly. I tried to lock it every time i'd pocket it, but whenever i forgot it'd be sure to happen. Never happened to me on the Bold.

This says it all. I currently have the Tour and the only phone out that I would upgrade to right now would be the Bold. AT&T's Bold was the best RIM phone until the release of the torch in my opinion. Either way I still will probably wait until next year to upgrade. I wish BB would come out with a different design for their phones. They are all starting to look the same.
