I know I'm going to hate myself for even replying to this.

8110, 8120 and 8130 are all "better" than the 8100.

But why are they better? Is the 8100 a bad BB?

I couldn't resist

The best is just that read about them and choose what is best for you. We can't suggest your favorite color. Suunds like you want a Pearl.

For example, WiFi gives you:
- Fast web browsing.
- UMA (for qualifying carriers)
- Data access where there is no GPRS/EDGE coverage. (Also very useful when travelling. free wifi is much cheaper than paying GPRS/EDGE data roaming rates.)
- Coolness factor.

And, no, the 8120 isn't the best. No one can tell you which is the best for you. Depends entirely on your needs.

Ugh. I should have never replied in this thread. I knew I'd regret it.

marionr26... pick the device that suits your needs. "Better" is a completely subjective term. What's better to me might not be better to you.
Again, it all depends on your needs and wants.

I'm late on this post but it's because I just joined yesterday. The camera on my 8100 is not all that bad. It can't take the most beautiful breath taking pictures but it does work pretty good. Maybe since you got yours off of ebay it may have been dropped or something.

The Camera on the 8110 & 8120 is 2 MP versus 1.3 MP on the 8100.
