Hello all. i'd be very grateful if some of you guys could help me decide between the 8310 Curve and the 8800. I'm in the UK, and will be switching from a Qtek 9100 to either of these BBs, but remain unsure which would suit my needs best.

I need it for personal hotmail use, work emails, and sat-nav. Not fussed about the absence of a camera on the 8800, and i've tried the keyboard too, which I didnt have a problem with.

I've read that the 8800 has a GPS antenna, but that it takes up to 5 mins to activate, and that the 8310 doesnt have one, and therefore needs to run off a data feed to give the satnav. What are the pros/cons of each approach?

I've read that the 8800 doesnt have a camera, which i'm not too bothered about, but in terms of future-proofing my selection (i'll be on an 18mth contract) surely it makes sense to get the latest BB model?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
