thanks!

[bridgecard]

[jsntrenkler]

Great shots! Does the red blackberry have a slightly red hue or is it basiclly white backlights?

[bridgecard]

depends on the angle some times it looks like a slight red light glowing, other times it looks red.

I was wondering the same thing. Pretty cool at the bottom.

Thanks for the dark shots. Looks MUCH better, especially for me, since I am colorblind. Blue and silver just blend together for me, so the contrast of the red/white is great.

I got a Red one yesterday.

I got my red one yesterday too. Definitely better keyboard lighting.

I'm happy with my decision.

Upgraded (Verizon) my account today....A red 8830 inbound! Thanks for the information!

[forevergreen]

as nice as that thing looks, I gotta wait for the curvito

[bridgecard]

Curvito? I have not heard of this! Want pics!

[sosonyc1]

I think he meant the curve. Just made it sound sexy! LOL

[bmw1986]

The keyboard setup is the same as the Sprint. I do like the Red though, I just want the Curve was offered on Sprint/Verizon. Am I the only one or does the Curve feel like a cheaper phone then the 8830?

[bridgecard]

I figured that's what he meant. I personally like the feel of the 8800 size and weight is good. I don't really hold the phone with my shoulder so the thickness doesn't bother to much ( moto Q broke me of that habbit.) But I think the 8800 feel better built.

Your right the Curve does feel cheaper. I like my 8830 I think the 8830 looks better too. I will be using an 8330 as soon as they hit alltel. I need the camera.
