As per the "It's dead, Jim" thread (http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8800-series-discussion/191436-its-dead-jim-what-can-i-do.html) in the 8800 forum, I fear my 8830 is about to go to the great cell phone bin in the sky two months ahead of when I'd hoped. As I'm locked in to VZW, I have a couple options to choose from.

The 8330 is old and long in the tooth. The Storm is being abandoned in favor of the Storm2 and will likely never see OS 5.0. I also have phone insurance and could possibly ask to see if VZW could repair the 8830 in hopes of getting a little more time out of the phone.

I appreciate your thoughts. Help!:cry:

If you have insurance, I would use it. They will send you a refurbished device. That will hold you over until the 9630 is released and won't extend your contract.

In addition to which, the insurance deductable may be cheaper than what you would pay for a different model. Verify that with Verizon, though.

I appreciate your thoughts.
There's really a lot of subjective preference involved. It would help to know what you want/need.
