For some time now,i've been having this push or pressure to get a blackberry phone...though i'm using a smartphone(samsung SII) currently,i still get this push from my friends to get a blackberry and me being new to this type of phone really don't know anything about it... So please help me out with your recommendations... And also which phone is better bold 2 or 3..? I'll really appreciate your replies.. Thanks

bold2

I know it might sound out of coherence but please kindly go for a bold 4. You would ask why. Here it is; an average bold 2 user has upgraded to O.S.6 (which comes as standard on the bold4) and this has definitely led to the bold 2 hanging unnecessarily or most times, even crashing. Moreover, the silver chroming along the edges of the bold 2 wears off and makes the phone look so ugly after a while which has been replaced with a darker (i think graphite) coating in the bold 4 so it still looks more tidy after multiple bruises. Don't even try to ask why i haven't made a mention of the bold 3; it is one of the most hopeless (if not the only hopeless) phone blackberry ever made. Naturally, it crashes even without O.S. upgrade and its battery life is the worst of all time.

I would always recommend anyone starting out with Blackberry to get a Blackberry Torch 9800 or better still the 9810. The Torch provides one the best Blackberry experiences for those just starting out. Its doesn't hang as frequently as the Pre-OS7 Bold or Curve series and it has both a touch interface and a full hardware QWERTY keyboard.

The newer Curve 7 is a pretty good phone for a starter at 34k from Slot.

Thanks... I've been enlightened... @lord reed,itoldu,bery... You guyz rock
