Personally i am 15 and am getting the blackberry 8800 for Christmas. Maybe the curve’s keys are easier to use, but the Blackberry is more formal and when you whip it out of your pocket more people will oggle than if you whip out the curve. It may be chunkier, but the curve, being smaller, is hardly a normal sized phone.

i got the 8800 a week ago and its wonderful… the features and applications work beautifully together… unfortunately no camera…. but everyything else besides that this phone is amazing… i saw the curve and gave it thought about purchasing… ( but *shh* the 8800 looks way sleeker, sexier and professional then the curve)

I’m only 18 years old I have no use for a blackbery but, my whole family has them so I kinda have to have one haha but yeah the curve has a camera and what not but the 8800 is so sexy black with the chrome on the sides I think the 8800 is just a better looking phone.

I’m on Verizon, so I don’t really have much of a choice, I have the 8830. But if you take the provider out of the equation and just consider the phones I would probably have to pick the 8830. I like the look of the 8830 SOOOO much better than the curve. I also like the fact that its a global phone. I have no problems with it when I go overseas. The keyboard isn’t an issue with me, I find I can type pretty quick on it (although I DO have small fingers and see how it can be a factor for others). The part of the curve that draws me would be the camera phone. It would be nice to finally have a camera phone (I’ve been using BB’s before most phones came with the camera option). In the end, the global capabilities and the sleek design win over the cameraberry.

The real question for me will be – should I switch to the pearl when it comes out???? They both have that sleek design – I maybe in trouble when that one comes out!

I bought the 8800 on AT&T the day it came out. It was my first BB and I have really been impressed with the functionality of the BB. My job is buying me a new BB and my choices are the 8300 or the 8800 (or the Pearl, but I need QWERTY for email). I went to the store and tested the Curve (8300) and immediately found typing easier even though I’ve been using the 8800 for 8 months. The form factor of the Curve felt great and the keyboard are the main reasons I will switch to the Curve. I won’t miss the GPS since I rarely used it.

8820.
a) no camera (I do gov’t contracting and cameras are a no-no)
b) BOTH WiFi and GPS (Curve will never be capable of doing says RIM)

Have a crippled 8830 (Verizon) now. May switch to an 8820 if I can find out if there’s decent GSM coverage here. Major thing holding me back is the awesome EV-DO tethering speeds I get. 8820 doesn’t have “3G”, and EDGE is just TOO slow for me.
