Talk about last minute research! You have 3 options, 8230 Pearl Flip, 9530 Storm, and 9630 Tour. All 3 are excellent devices. Coming from a Curve I'd say the Tour might be best for you. BUT I would go to the store and play with all 3 and then see which one grabs your fancy.
I had the 8330 on VZW and hastily paid full price and upgraded to the Storm. I have not been happy with the screen responsiveness of the storm and based on my experience I would recommend the Tour. Ideally, I would love to see the Tour with wi-fi on VZW and I would be in heaven.
If you are use to a keyboard...get the Tour..it's new trendy looking & has GREAT screen quality & can be used abroad...buuuut if you want a touch screen onlyyyyy.....get a S-T-O-R-M!! LOL
Greatest phone ever, I'm not kidding either. Got tons of cool stuff 3rd party and built in the new OS is a god send for speed and a huge display, and it looks cool when your using it.
Why upgrade? The curve is a great phone. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

The Tour is better in almost every way except for how it's slightly taller than the 8330 but it's nearly the same in dimensions. Better screen, better trackball, better keyboard, EV-DO Rev. A which is as fast as HSDPA most times, 3.2 MP camera with AF that's actually decent, a faster processor, OS 4.7.1 which is better than 4.5 and around 2.5 times the amount of RAM that the 8330 has. If the OP can get the Tour, he should because the Tour is better in nearly every way.

I've tried using the tour in the stores and it's just weird once you own the storm all screens look so small. + the keyboard on the tour didn't really fit my hands to well and I've got not huge hands but more average size male hands.
I don't know if you've had a curve and love a keyboard go with the tour but if you want something new and to me exciting grab a storm.

I am addicted to my storm the screen zooms in & out I can SEE stuff so much better than other blackberries plus I am great on brick breaker b/c I can use my finger (I know that isn't the best feature) plus people do hover around when they see it PLUS I was watching T.O.'s new show & they have storms....I could go on & on but people always say they HAVE to have a keyboard....BIG hands...lol I have small hands but that keyboard is awkward for me too
