Owned a Storm1 and a 8100 Pearl before hand and liked the Pearl...hated the Storm as it had way to many issues. Pearl had for 2 years and was a tank...still have 2 of them as my Mother in law is using my wife's and mine is in desk as a back-up...

My first bb, the one I have now, is the infamous 8350i. Haven't had the pleasure(yet) of owning another one but atm am in love with the phone. I read the horror stories all the time, but the phone has worked flawlessly for me so far in all departments.
Current is 9700, but I still own every BB listed next to my user name. In terms of durability and quality my 9000 hands down is a solid device, with my 8310 in a close second.
I liked my Bold 9000 for awhile, but when I went to 5.0, the available memory never got above 16-17 mb with all the apps I already had on it -- so it lost a lot of its fun factor.
As I'm on AT&T, I might upgrade to the 9700 (I just sold my 9000), but I'm really tempted by Android.
i currently have the bold 9650...prior to that i had the tour 9630...the best blackberry i have had has to be the 8330. awesome radio..awesome battery life..
