Blackberry BOLD or CURVE??? Help :)

[padrino]

Hey guys and girls,
After almost 20 years on NOKIA camp I am thinking going "Canadian" with Blackberry. At the moment I am with Nokia E72 as my personal daily cell phone and N900 as my working cell.
E72 is great phone, long battery life, many free apps using OVI website, Free real time GPS and maps. Actually my E72 is better than my Garmin GPS. Much faster and with proper voice guide. I will go even one step further to say that the E72 GPS is better and faster than my built in SATNAV in my S430...I know, I know perhaps many will disagree but this is my observation.

Anyway back to the main question, witch one I would be better going with and why? Bold or Curve.
Thanks

If you are just chosing between those two - The Bold, it just has more features and I have owned both.

I am open to any suggestions, never used Blackberry so I don't know great deal about it. I need to have GPS maps and Internet plus obviously cell phone So please fire away and let me know. I was looking even in the new Bold touch 9900/9930. I liked the touch screen abilities...something I don't have with E72 but I do on N900 and I like it a lot.

I agree - but now that the learning curve is over pretty much good with it

Went to BB 9650 from a Curve B CUZ

-I needed (wanted) WiFi
-I needed Blue Tooth
9650 is Mid size phone the 9780 is smaller and 9000 is bigger
9650 has Hi Rez screen with light sensor
QWERTY Key board - don't like touch screen
Bold does not have that %$# Trackball like curve.

Hook a bold to a REDFLY via blue tooth and keep your laptop at home.

Learning curve?
I feel like it's a learning cliff. With me at the bottom looking up!

Any more insides???

I am on my second BB Curve...lost the first one in Seattle last year...

I'm not "techie" when it comes to phone features...I just want to get and receive calls, read e-mails with no fuss, and on occassion get on the browser for some quick info or do some banking.

My biggest reason for BBs in general is that the keypad is better suited for folks like me with fingers like a gorilla (size, not strength). I can't type on most phone keypads, and the touchpads aren't much better IMHO.

Depends on which models/generations of each model...


I had a Bold 9700 on ATT and it was a great phone. Its still alive, and a friend is now using it. I loved and miss BBM (switched to an iPhone).

I have the Tour 9630 and you can't zoom on the internet! You can only zoom one time. I literally have to use a magnifying glass to see anything, even then the text is only a couple of pixels. Weird. I realize that is not one of your choices however... It just strikes me as unbelievable

The Black-berry Bold 9000 is a line of smart-phones developed by research in motion. The family includes the 9000, the 9700, and the 9650 and 9780, which were released in 2010.

I was just upgraded about a month or two back to a BB 3G Curve 9330 Series on the VerizonWireless network...

Meh...

What bugs me more than anything with this "puck" is that some of the internet crap that comes over at 0200-0600 "pings" the damn thing.

I quit looking at it at this time and figure if something is really important, they'll call me...as it should be.

As for driving w/this thing...

Unless I'm on a call with 9-1-1, I'll wait 'til I'm stopped at a gas station or my location and parked. It's a hard habit to break...talking on the phone and driving, but I'm down to less than 5% of what I used to do...I'm hoping by the end of this month, I'm at 100%.
