Hi all first time user and not sure of model to buy. I am a business user need emails, camera, and maps. I am concearned about the key pad size as I have large fingers. any advice would be helpful, I have trawled pages of reviews but to decided on mdel yet help:confused:
I to have the phat finger issue...have had an curve ...storm...tour..and now storm2...touch screens seem to work the best for me...less typos..
All devices with BIS/BES (or the right few apps + 100% WiFI coverage) will do email greatly.
The trackpad will work with your large fingers, no need to worry but still, lets include some trackballed devices here...
Since you said you need maps, a GPS able device would be good. As you also said you need camera, we can exclude the 8520 from the list.
There. Your options are, based on what you provided:
Any xx10 device, for GPS.
Any Bold device.
Curve 8900.
If you can grab an unlocked world edition Tour and use it with you Orange Sim card, then add the 9630 to the list.
Completely forgot the Stoms, so:
Any Storm.
Thanks guys will be back when I decide
I'm not sure that the 8900 have the GPS...
8900 has GPS. I use it with Telenav.
Oh don't worry. I am. :)
The newer curve series is worth a look.
The best phone for you hands down is the Bold 9000, you have large fingers then the bold keyboard is best for you, it has 3G and wifi and its sturdy and very professional looking

Its hard for anyone to tell u what to go with really. I'd say do some research go to the stores and feel them and hold them.

Based on the criteria he set forth, I agree. It has the largest and best keyboard (I also have large hands). And +1 on everything else you said, too. :D
get the 9700
Curve 8530 is the best for first time users. This is my first bb and it is simple but effective. The keypad is not difficult and the trackpad is also easy to use.

Thanks all info helped got upgrade today 8520 has camera.
Ofc it does, but no flash.
If camera is a must have you should have considered that. I did. Or do you really think I didn't want to push you into te same device I had in the 1st place? ><
Enjoy it. See you in the 8500 forums >> http://forums.crackberry.com/f143/
I have a Tour, but with your needs I am going with the masses and say go with the Curve.
