    the blackberry curve is definitely easier to text on, because the keys are spread apart, the downside to this phone is that its not 3G (less powerful processor) and you can only send an MMS to another blackberry user (a picture/long message). Also, the camera lacks a flash, which is a downfall if you want to take good pictures with your phone. However, it's still a good phone with a nice sleek design. (I personally don't like the back of the phone, but thats just me)

    the blackberry bold is a little harder to text on, since the keys are close together and smooth. This phone can basically do what the curve can't, as in send MMS to everyone, and it's 3G (which means its faster than the curve) If that's not a big deal to you i would go with the curve. The camera also has flash, which takes better pictures. This phone is a little more expensive than the curve but has more features. personally, i like the bold's design better than the curve (i'm just sayin) but from my friends experience, she was a clutz and she dropped it on tile and broke the screen... the screen is very sensitive, and it's a littttle bit bigger than the curve.

    If money is not so much of an issue, then i would go with the blackberry bold 9650 because it comes with a lot of great features. If you have a tight budget, go with the curve 8530 despite the things it lacks, i have a lot of friends that love it !!

    AND ALWAYS go with a track pad. A track ball usually gets jammed with dirt and you have to clean it, and after a while you need to replace it. Track pads stay cleaner and you don't have to replace it for a really really long time ! (if you even have to)

    If this didnt help i also compared them for you on the blackberry website... http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/compare/produ...

    I reallllllly hope i helped !! And you are gonna love your blackberry, whichever one you choose !

    p.s. blackberry messenger is awesome.
