Hey guys, I'm getting a new BB soon, and I have no idea what to get/what's available. I know that I do not want a touch screen phone though. I have been using the 8330, and it's slow and painfully annoying to say the least. I'm located in the U.S. and my carrier is Verizon. What phone would you recommend?

Jump the BB boat. Tomorrow is when the iPhone will be announced for Verizon and there's plenty of Androids available. If you are set on getting a BlackBerry... Well there's the Bold 9650... Nothing groundbreaking by any means, but it's the best BlackBerry that Verizon has to offer.

Definitely no iPhone for me. I'll go to a Verizon store and check out the Curve and Bold. How is the Tour? Does anyone use that?

Do not get the Tour (9630). It is at End Of Life and was replaced by the Bold. The Tour will not get OS 6, which the Bold will.

There's not too many choices of BlackBerry right now with VZW. You may want to wait and see if anything new is released after March.
