Alright guys..
The girlfriend wants a BlackBerry for Christmas and i was wondering which is the best one to get?
I was thinking along the lines of a Curve 8900, or the Curve 8520?
These seem to be the ones popular? No?
I think they both lack 3g, which she isn't bothered about to be honest.
Can anyone help with my choice?
Cheers

8900 curve, i have one and its an awesome phone.
I prefer it to the 8520 as it had a better camera and i prefer a trackball to the new scroll device.

+1 ive got the Curve and think its a great phone. Although the trackball can get a little clogged up with shit, grease etc. so the scroll one looks quite cool.

You're telling me, try fixing french cars day in day out. I've just had a replacement curve after someone decided to spill oil over mine.
By the way, make sure you get her a BB on contract, get blackberry services and some kind of insurance on it!

I've got the 8900 and love it! I wanted the iPhone orignally but went for the blackberry. The handset is a decent size, not to big, not too small and once you get used to using the QWERTY keyboard (took me about half hour) you'll never wan't to use a touch screen again. The 8250 is a waste of money imo, screen resolution isn't great and as James said, that scroll thing is pretty poor.
