Blackberry users?
Ok, so im getting a new cell, and I have it down to two. My provider doesnt support Iphones yet, and im not sold on touch screens, so im looking at two blackberry's. A bold and the 8830 World edition. Does the bold do enough extra to warrant the extra cost? What are the differences? This is my first smartphone, so im a little lost.

The pearl does enough things to warrant any cost. They have tons of apps. And that's the whole idea behind a smartphone. Just get a full keyboard, and make sure your mitts fit it.

I sent Corey the link. Hopefully, he'll pop in and tell you all the good stuff about the Blackberrys.
He should be a salesman for these gadgets. He sold me on it and I'm a hard sell!

The Bold is worth the extra cash over the 8830. The 8830 is pretty much a Curve without the camera. The Bold is much more than just an aesthetic upgrade to the 88xx and 83xx series. The Bold has much greater internal memory, a far better and faster processor, has 3G network capability, plus it has a camera. The media capabilities are greater, the unit is faster, and the updated OS is better.

Plus you get GPS and blackberry maps. I have run the curve for almost 2 years now, and before that I had the 1st gen pearl.

If I'm not mistaken, the 8830 has GPS as well, but the bold also has WiFi.
