I am getting a blackberry for Christmas, thanks to my wonderful parents, and I need to decide pronto which model I want.
I was leaning towards the Curve 8520 with its new, super-cool trackpad, and hey, I'm no business-woman, I'm a chemistry major , so I don't need the new bold.
I thought about the Curve 8900, but it has the trackball....which I've heard mixed reviews on. I need to decide within the hour! Thank you all!
Curve 8250, 8900....or other? for college student?
Well... I can tell you, after using the trackpad on my Bold 9700, I do not plan on using a trackball on another BlackBerry ever again. If you use your berry a lot like I do, your thumbs may start hurting after using the trackball for a long period of time (and for some people, it doesn't even take that long).
I would try the Bold 9700. Seems to have the best of both worlds... the trackpad of the 8520, but power over the 8900. The only difference would be the spacing of the keys in the 8520/8900 vs. 9700.
Is money an issue? All providers now require a data plan with the use of smartphones.. since you're going to be paying for data.. I assume you have money, might as well go with the 9700.. it's the best one.
