Thinking of upgrading from the BlackBerry 9700 to the Phone in the pic that has the touch screen and key pad

I've never had a BlackBerry and I don't know anyone with one, but they must be ok if they are still around and making new products. Someone must be buying them

How did you skip the Blackberry completely when the IPhone and Androids wasn't always around???

I didn't get a cell phone until I started driving, I had one of those pay as you go cheapo phones for a while

got my first cell phone in 2010

That looks like the Curve models Blackberry was making before -- but the trackpad dealy was a trackball. I had the Curve 8330 in pink many moons ago (see pic below). Good phone... But I got to calling it the Crapberry, lol.

It didn't totally suck, but it wasn't my top fave phone either. I owned that phone the longest -- I'm coming up on 7 years of phone ownership and I had that Curve for almost 2 full years (mid-2008 to mid-2010).

My suggestion to you is, you'll probably want a phone with a more full-screen screen than that, but yet have a slide-out keyboard (if you're not ready for a phone with a virtual keyboard) because a screen at that size will probably just drive you crazy, lol. I am sure Blackberry makes a phone that would meet that criteria.

I had the iPhone 4 (LOVED it, definitely my top fave phone!) and just recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 last week and I LOVE my 5. I don't know what I did before the iPhone, lol. But I realize - different strokes for different folks! Blackberry is good stuff - I did the Android thing in between Blackberry and iPhone and I HATED Android. So, you should definitely go for it!
