Currently using a curve 8330, happy with it, but starting to show its age, trackball sometimes not behaving, slower compared to friends with 9700 series bb's, no official os 5, etc.... and no wifi, which for various reasons I would like to have...
Thinking about the 8530, but have seen mixed reviews; some improvements, some 'downgrades'... Cheaper case, no flash, buttons may not be robust.. hard to tell from 'official' reviews (eg, cnet) because the reviews are so balanced it feels like a 50/50 decision....
Intereseted in hearing from people who have made the switch, or are thinking about it....
