I would like a comparison run-down as well. I found the comparison provided by phonescoop (can't post links... yet)

indicating that the blackberry is a better all around device. I will not be traveling abroad either. I have 30 days to take my 8830 back if i don't like it. I have big fingers and maybe the curve works better for that. I also can't figure out why these phones appear exactly the same except for the curve having more features, talk time, standby, lower weight, easier keyboard, and smaller (except for 5 hundredths of an inch thicker).

So is there a reason to hang on to this 8830? Please advise.
