After using the Curve, and being able to manipulate it so easily one-handed...the 8800 feels wide and cumbersome. Side-by-side comparison with the screens was a suprise...very little difference if at all, with both screens set to 100% brightness.

The 8800 lived up to it's reputation as a "creaky" phone. Right out of the box, it felt loose and hollow compared to the Curve...although I still prefer the weight of the 8800 to the lightness of the 8300. But, the Curve is definately built more solid and sound.

So...guess I am sticking with the 8300. I felt a real satisfaction as I put my SIM and battery back into it..and powered it up. Guess I am a BlackBerry convert once and for all...and have found a device I really like for a change.

I'm stoked all over again!!!
Well now that you got that out of your system, I hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy your phone. I have owned every Blackberry my carrier offered (and many others they did not offer) and found each is different and has it's good and bad characteristics.
