[pigbow]

The Curve 8900: Older version, $300 is it's cost. better screen resolution than the 8520, has a GPS, and is faster. However, it doesn't have a touch pad instead it has that ball thing. 3.2 megapixel camera. Link: http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_curve_8900-pictures-2604.php


The curve 8520: Newer version, $100 less expensive then the older one, Touch pad, not as good screen resolution, not as fast, no GPS, 2.0 megapixel camera, Link: http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_curve_8520-2889.php

Please help me on this I can't decide, going to buy tomorrow.

Are you sure you want a BlackBerry? If you have to get one, I'd get the first one - $100 is worth the better features.

However, the counterparts for each company (the Droid line up, iPhone, etc) are more functional in my opinion than a BlackBerry.

I would go for a first one although, I am thinking about Blackberry Pearl 3G.

Personally I have a blackberry 9700 bold and it's absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure on the idea of a touch screen blackberry, however.

I'd personally go with the first one if I had to choose. It depends if you feel like spending the money or not.

I wouldn't go for any of the Blackberry's with a touchscreen, keypad one's are good.

If you can, get a contract one, it'll be insured + it'll cost you less.. kinda

Yeah, there aren't any androids here in lebanon atm, also not really going to be using it to browse, most likely going to be using it for BBM. However, I'm going to be getting the 8900. I heard some of my friends' are having problems with the touch pad later on with the 8530. :/ Thanks alot guys.

Blackberry definitely has issues with touchscreens. As long as you aren't into the whole "casual" app scene or heavy internet browsing, you don't really need that interactive touchpad. I used to have a 8900 for work and it was perfect for what I needed.

The Curve. Its smaller so its easier to carry around in your pocket. And the touch pad is much better than the track ball in my opinion. I had issues with my trackball getting stuck and not responding.
