The 9520 is great for webpages, I have the same model, love it.

The 9700 is very nice also, lots of people like it, the latest of the all the current models.

Go to your local store and type on them and see which you prefer the most.

Bold 9700 ! ! !

For keypad models, there is no comparison between the 9700 and the 8520. The 9700 blows it away. I would think your choice really comes down to the Storm 2 vs. 9700.

I like my 8520 keypad. I think it's pretty nice. I like the clickety clackety keys

yeah but keep in mind that rumour has it the tour 2 is coming out on Feb 3.

Tour is the most successful blackberry todate, and the tour 2 is going to have 3 upgrades; the wifi, the touchpad instead of the ball and inbuilt memory will be close to 2 GB.

I am waiting for this model to decide.

16 blackberries are scheduled for release in 2010; my most anticipated ones are the tour 2 and the magnum. Apparently the magnun is coming out with a touch screen and a keyboard...BOTH, but i dont think i can wait that much.

Noodles, Guys,

Who do you wins; the 9700 bold 2 or the tour 2? My needs are simple; i want to own a classy phone that has a classy design with as much built in applications as possible and i want to be able to type messages faster and check my email; outlook.

Browsing the net and listening to music is a secondary thing.

The most important thing is i can be very efficient for my work and look cool with a new cell phone lol.

Please let me know what you think, and in the end it will be my decision ofcourse. I wont blame you for anything.

I bought the 8520, great phone but its only gprs/edge, not 3g! Can be very slow on the internet and seems incapable of downloading video. Steer clear and choose a differenyt model. I regret buying this model!!!!

[JSanders]

You didn't know it wasn't 3G before purchase?

[Noodle22]

I can download videos just fine. It's fast and light for an edge device.

Well, it is hard to say which one to get because they all are equally good. I have the 8320 and I am enjoying it. I had a battery problem but that is all fix now.

You can actually see and try phone before you buy it?
