I recently purchased the 8310 from AT&T. Trying it out but difficult to know what I have compared to other phones. Can someone quickly rate the Blackberry models in order of best to least?
Thanks

Mmm.. that'll be a bit hard since there's so many different models. There's a BB for every kind of personality.. whether you use it strictly socially, for business, or both.
I have a Curve 8310 that I use for work & play & it works perfectly for me. It has a full keyboard, internet, email, & camera for fun.
Think about what would you use your BB for mainly?
This would differ obviously with each user. Since I'm a curve user, I would say the Curve is the best...
...since you just got it, I would go back to the store and play with the phones for a bit, see what you like. i like the curve because it combines functionality with entertainment. I also like a full QWERTY keyboard, which rules out the Pearl. I like to take pictures of bushes, so I need a camera as well.
Its all up to you :)
Been hearing a lot about the 8820 recently.. Just wondering how much better it is than the 8310..
8820's a pretty cool phone. THat was my second choice of the phone, but, it did not have a camera for my picture taking of bushes.
So, I chose the curve. If you're a Corporate user, you will most likely find the 8820's a good choice, because many Corporate Offices are restricting cameras on devices. I work at a FInancial Institution, and they don't mind the cameras...otherwise, it would have been the 8820 all the way. But otherwise, there really is no other difference, its the same OS
I think the 8820 is more business-friendly & has about the same features as the Curve - minus the camera.
If you go to AT&T's site they allow you to click phones to compare.
Here is a good place to start BlackBerry
8310 - GPS, camera & great keypad.
8820 - GPS, WiFi & No camera.
8120 - WiFi, camera, SureType & no GPS.
8310 = 9/10, need WiFi also.
8820 = 8/10 needs camera & better keypad.
8120 = 7/10 needs GPS, screen is small.
This is all my opinion and my preference. Go to an AT&T store and try them out.
The 8820 gives you GPS and Wifi which is a big plus. So muy vote would be for the 8820 but the 8320 is also a great phone.

My friend got the 8310 and I have the 8320, we realized that the 8320 has more options than the 8310 does, so now my friend wants to switch to th 8320, hehe. I always got to have the top bb there is! I had 8800 before but didn't like the keyboard, as the curve's qwerty suits me best since I type A LOT!!
What other 'options' does an 8320 have compared to 8310 besides WIFI?
Yeaaah, I have the 8310.. kinda curious about what options the 8320 has.. figured it was just the WiFi/GPS.
Cheaper calls because it let's you use t-mobiles hotspot plan which you free calls over wifi(no plan minutes used). That's a real plus if you use BB as your only phone. Lastly it increases internet speed.

Thats pretty much it. But if you want to use the 8320 on AT&T, you need to get it unlocked.
Thats exactly why I got a 8820. GPS and Wi-fi. Getting those two things together were more important to me than a camera.
Mmmm, I have AT&T soo I decided on the Curve - wish I had WiFi, though I don't really need it.
Good luck picking a phone & welcome!
