chasdrury Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 So, I have to have a CrackBerry for work, no choice in that... But, which one do I have? 8800 (discontinued I understand but still available), Curve 8310 or Pearl 8110? Having never used one, I haven't a clue what to choose! Thanks Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I don't like the pearl thingies. I much prefered the scrolly wheel and button type. However, I'd definitely go for one with the qwerty keyboard - like the 8800. The small (girly) one I found was awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I can't find a release date for hte Bold though....Is the 8320 just the 8310 with WiFi Chas Release date is July. Yes as a general rule the **20 models are wi-fi enabled and the **10 models GPS enabled. It depends on your network and what they adopt from RIM. The 8820 model is the exception with GPS & Wi-fi, the bold will also offer these and 3G . AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have an 8300 which hasn't missed a beat since I have had it. I look after all the work ones and haven't had a single failure of an 8300 or 8310, i have had to have about 15 x 8100 pearls replaced though. Jon.
