Which Phone? Blackberry Bold 9700 or Curve 8520?
I am due a phone upgrade and want a Blackberry. My choices are Bold 9700 or Curve 8520. If I decide for the Bold 9700 then I need to pay £80. Having done research the 9700 seems to cost £200 more than the Curve. However, the only real difference seems to be 9700 has 3G and the Curve doesn't.
Please Help!!! What should I do?

The 9700 is much better than the 8520. One difference is the camera (if that's something you care about). The Bold 2 is the flagship BlackBerry right now. I've used it and I have to say it's the best BB to date. It will be worth the extra cost.

If it matters to you the Curve 8520 has a 2.0 MP Camera, the Bold 9700 has 3.2 MP Camera.
The Curve has dedicated media keys if you will be using your phone as an MP3 player, it could come in handy.
The Curve has a 320x240 screen resolution and the Bold 480x360 (just means better screen resolution and can see more on the screen) If you want a basic blackberry phone and save on cost, get the blackberry 8520.

To be honest, there both pretty similar phones apart from the curve being more round and without the silver on the front. I have a Curve 8520 and I've found the internet to be pretty good anyway without the 3G so I personally would go with the Curve and save myself £80 :)

It depends if your after a nice looking phone with all the normal spec go for the Curve.
If your after a phone with more spec and gaming and stuff like that go for the Bold.

3G (3rd Generation) is a big thing this day and age and it means you can do more
Id go 4 the bold.
