Certified Preowned Blackberry Bold 9650 or Blackberry Curve 9330 from Verizon?
- I currently have an Env Touch, and I'm taking the step of upgrading to a smart phone sometime this month. I'm going to order it online, and so I have the option of getting a Bold 9650 (Certified Preowned) for the same price of a Curve 9330. I've heard Bolds are much better, but which would YOU reccoment I get?12-04-10 10:04 PMLike 0
- I think I would go with the certified preowned 9650 Bold.
You get better screen resolution, and a few less important things. The Bold is their flagship line and the Curve is more the entry level line. This Curve brings the lines a bit closer than previous versions though.
Go play with each since they are slightly different in screen resolution, keyboard size/design/style and one might work better for you.12-04-10 10:31 PMLike 0 - I would get the Bold, no question. It has a better camera, better processor, more memory, and access to a faster 3G (Rev A). Much better screen resolution too!12-04-10 10:33 PMLike 0

But is getting a certified preowned device a waste of money, since there is still the 1 year warranty, etc. I just don't want a scratched up phone.

- @PK, that's true . If the price were the same, the Bold is the OBVIOUS choice. I do love my Curve 3G but why wife lives for her Bold.

for the much more accurate "Refurbished?"12-05-10 09:19 PMLike 0
