Blackberry Tour, Storm or Curve?

Hey ladies,

I usually post on the travel board and I apologzed if this has been asked recently.....

I'm in the market for a new phone. I;ve been w/ Verizon for about 7 years and have been happy with the service. With their new every two deal, its time to upgrade. I can get a Blackberry (whcih would be my first) Tour, Storm or Curve for not much money.

I've heard the Storm can be kind of crappy so I was mostly looking at the Curve or Tour. Lots of people are recommending the Tour.

Any thoughts or experiences to share? Which one would you get and why? If you have one of these above do you like it and why or why not?

Really all I need the phone to do is allow me to surf the web quickly and to easily read and respond to emails. I'm coming from a flip phone so I'm a little lost here. Thanks!

  • I have the Tour.  The main thing is it's an international phone.  If you don't travel overseas, you would be fine with the Curve.

  • That's really good to know and helps the decision. We travel a lot and having an international phone would be a huge help. I think I'll go with the Tour. Thanks!
  • I have the tour and really enjoy it! I've had no problems at all.

    That being said, DH just got the eris droid and its pretty amazing. It seems to load faster and is easy to manuever.

  • The new tour (that has a trackpad not a trackball) should be coming out soon. I'd wait for that one. It has a newer OS and the trackpad is awesome. (My BB has one and I don't miss the ball at all)
  • i have a tour and recently upgraded from the curve. in addition to being internationally capable, the tour is also 3g capable. i like it better than the curve.

    Isn't the entire Verizon network 3G?  That means that all of their phones are 3G-capable.

  • on the verizon website you can narrow the phone selection down by units that are quad band gsm/3g, so i would assume that it doesn't apply to all of their phones.

    The entire Verizon network is EVDO, which is a 3G network.  What you're talking about is whether the phone is a world phone (quad-band GSM) and whether it will work with 3G overseas.

  • my mistake.

  • I have the curve and love it.
