Q. I like the Blackberry Curve 8330 ALOT and it's made me want one so bad! I like the look of it & it's got great reviews but have never really messed around with one except for texting a few times. What is the best blackberry for me to get if I have never owned one before?
I have Verizon and for the most part I think they still carry it.
A. Blackberry Bold 9700. It is the newest Blackberry Bold model and I think it is the pinnacle of Blackberry thus far based on the design, technology, and features. It's a very classy looking phone. I don't like slider phones so I wouldn't recommend the Torch, and I've read that the Blackberry Storm is a disaster and doesn't come close to being as good as other touch screen phones (iPhone and Samsung Galaxy). The Curve 8330 is old by the way. You should do some more research into Blackberry phones because AT&T doesn't even carry the Curve 8330 any more. Whatever you do, stay away from the Curve 8520..it's like 40% rubber and 60% plastic. It feels very cheap....and small. Though most label it as the entry level Blackberry, I would not recommend this phone at all. Get the Blackberry Bold 9700.
Should I get a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G or a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Unlocked?
Q. I'm going to get the T-Mobile Monthly4G plan with unlimited data (5GB of 4G), unlimited text messaging, and 100 minutes of calling, it's only $30/month. There are a few smart phones to choose from and the Blaze 4G is the best one, or you can get a SIM card and get any unlocked phone the cheapest one is the Nexus but is like $70 or $100 more than the Blaze 4G.
A. I don't know alot about the Galaxy Nexus, but I do own the Galaxy S Blaze (T mobile). I've had mine for about three months now and I don't have any complaints about it too much , except for the battery life. If you do get the Galaxy S Blaze and you use your phone and various apps alot, be sure to never leave home with out your charger. The battery life sucks big time compared to my previous phone( Blackberry 9700)....
Should I wait and get the new BB Bold 9300 or get an Android phone? If Android, then which one should I get?
Q. My BlackBerry recently broke and at first i wanted to get another one. My brother then introduced me to Androids, and now I am thinking about getting one. The only problem is, is that there are so many Androids, and there are always new ones coming out.
A. I switched to Android this past April after being a loyal Blackberry lover and user for 5 years. I had several models, my last being the Bold 9700 with OS 6.
I buy/sell/trade Blackberry devices and I ran across someone who wanted to trade me a Storm 2 9550 for an HTC Mytouch 4G Android phone. At the time the Mytouch 4G was selling for about $400 compared to the $200 of the Storm 2. Of course I took the deal. What ensued was not what I expected. I decided to play around with the Mytouch 4G for a few days. After 2 days I decided to take it to the T-Mobile store and have all of the information transferred from the Blackberry to the Mytouch 4G so I could just "play around" for a few days with all of the features. By the end of the week I had sold my beloved Blackberry and was hooked.
I have since also had a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, a Sidekick 4G, a G2x and now I have and love my HTC Sensation 4G.
I have seen and kept myself up to speed on the new OS 7 devices RIM is launching, including the Bold. Personally, I am not going to waste my time on any of the OS 7 devices simply because RIM has already promised a QNX based device by next year. QNX is the operating system on the Blackberry tablet. The QNX OS is the next generation for RIM/Blackberry, as it is infinitely more like Android and iPhone than it is today.
I anticipate wanting to have a QNX based Blackberry when they come out. Until then, I recommend staying with an Android device.
Which one? I recommend something from HTC. HTC is currently the most trust manufacturer of Android devices. Their UI ("user interface") overlay to the Android OS is called "Sense UI" and it is an interface that is very customizable and makes having an Android device more simple and more "sexy/fun" at the same time.
Here are some from each carrier:
At&t:
* HTC Inspire 4G
* HTC Status (the new "Facebook phone")
T-Mobile:
* HTC Mytouch 4G
* NEW HTC Mytouch 4G SLIDE
* HTC Sensation 4G
Verizon:
* HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE
* HTC Droid Incredible 2
Sprint:
* HTC EVO 4G
* HTC EVO Shift
* HTC EVO 3D
Hope that helps - Ben.
