- So after getting my BB my girl wants one and i want to surprise her with one...I have a storm and she likes it but thinks its too complicated and unsure if she could adjust to it(though i know she will). She likes the Tour for the 5 minutes she played with it but itd be here 1st trackball phone and again wasnt sure if she could get use to it. Im also doin this so i can get a 2nd BB(tour!) for my self since verizons BOGO deal so waiting for s2= not an option..
1st : Never owning a tour does it have a smaller learning curve then the storm
How shed use the phone
-Lots of pictures..and sending em SMS/Email
-Texts a fair amount/but limited emails
-and light to moderate browsing
-and light apps probably I heart radio and icons for mobile banking etc
So aside from the "i wont get used to it" BS line.. Using those above factors what seems to be the best BB for my girl tour or storm109-15-09 01:50 AMLike 0 - I vote the Storm, as women, in my experience, enjoy the touchscreen more. The larger screen is a plus also. Just remember, with women, bigger is better.09-15-09 02:43 AMLike 0
- None of the above... If you're set on her getting a candybar sytle BB then wait for either the Storm 2(storm 1 is and always will be junk unless you know exactly how to use it) or the Curve 8530. Personally I bought my gf a Pearl Flip. Sure the keyboard takes some getting used to... and that was one of the big things my gf had an issue with... but she was also used to using multi-tap 1-9 keys on her dumbphone. She's had the pearl flip since late july and LOVES it. Just my .0209-15-09 03:32 AMLike 0
- Tour or 8330 Curve. The trackball is a non-issue, it is easier to get used to than you'd think.

- Ha ha!! I love all the men in here giving an opinion on what women like !!
I have an 8900 & I love it!! If that's not an option then get her a Tour. I like the 8900 keyboard better but I could definitely get used to the Tour keyboard.
Your gf will get used it w/in a week. Be sure to let her know what an awesome bf she has for gettin her a BB .

as stated not an option i want to take advantage of BOGO verizon currently has09-15-09 09:54 AMLike 0 - Agreed the 8900 is a great all round phone, I love mine. And coming from years on an 8700 trackwheel, the trackball is super.
I don't know for sure on this, but doesn't the tour, depending on carrier, better support Twitter and Facebook, if she would want to use them. And, being 3G, I believe, have a little better media capability.
Ken09-15-09 10:17 AMLike 0 - I would recommend the 8520 or the 8900 - surely, you absolutely MUST dig out and put a pink theme so the first time she powers it there is a WOW trust me, works like magic
And remember, little things and details work for girls, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

Get her the Tour but before you give it to her, pimp it out a little. You mentioned that she liked the pink curve so get her a theme that has some pink in it. I use this theme in black for my 8900, I absolutely love it & it's free!!!

Just be sure to dl the pink version & she'll love you forever if she already doesn't !!

You can tell by the difference in the key board. Now I know the 8900 is not an option because you are gong with Verizon right? The Tour looks like a nice phone but you may want to somehow get her hands on the keyboard to be sure she will like it.09-15-09 05:21 PMLike 0

As for the pics, perhaps the camera you were testing had a dirty lense. I keep mine in a sleeve and it takes pictures great pics. Now no cell phone camera is going to catch action or low light as good as a digital, but I think the older 2mp Curve camera is pretty good.
Taken on a 2 year old Curve.
Edit...sorry for the size....I didn't realize the Curve took pics that big..lol.09-16-09 07:37 PMLike 0 - check this out.......Smiles1
I have read all the suggestions here and since I'm a girl, too - this is my take on it...
I would not want anything pink even lying on the desk next to my phone - much less on it. Is this going to be a surprise for your GF? If not - just let her pick it out. After all - who would know what she wants better than her?
Peace....09-16-09 07:40 PMLike 0 - 09-16-09 09:28 PMLike 0
