Verizon Officially Announces BlackBerry Curve 8530… Available November 20th

Since a new curve is coming out which is better the Tour or the new Curve?
Thoughts?

looks like the 8530 has all the same specs, plus it has wifi, and a track pad, but it only has a 2.0MP cam.. hmm.. its a toss up, i think i will keep my tour..

i personally cant stand the chicklet keypad the curve offers. the tour keypad is amazing and that would make me want the tour

plus the screen res is wayyyy better on the tour

i believe the curve is 320x240? blahhhh

i had the curve 8520 and it was entry level feeling....go with the tour

I'm a fan of the WiFi and the new,sleek, modern look of the 8530, but im a little hesitant about the low resolution screen.

but im a little hesitant about the low resolution screen.

its quite depressing

what good is wifi if you have a verizon data plan?
I'd rather have internet anywhere then hunting for a hot spot?

The curve isnt a world phone either

[papped]

Like the 85xx, but just can't downgrade to 320x240...

The screen res heavily affects every single thing you do on the phone...

The Curve is the lower-end model. Build materials are not as nice (if that matters to you), it's not a world phone, the screen resolution is lower, and it has a 2MP camera.
