If you love BlackBerry phones and are looking to upgrade to a newer model, then you may be interested in the Curve, or even the Bold, if you can wait for its release.
Both the Curve and the Bold are comparable in size and weight, however, the Bold is just a bit larger and heavier, and it will also be the most powerful BlackBerry yet, and will have several features that the Curve does not have.
The screens of both phones are the same size, yet the Bold boasts a 480×320 pixel screen which means that everything will look a lot sharper and clearer. They both have a QWERTY keyboard, and a 2 megapixel camera, but the Bold also has a video recorder with half VGA resoltion. Both phones also have GPS, although you may nee extra software for turn by turn directions.
As far as memory goes, the Curve has 128MB out of the box, while the Bold has a whopping 1GB out of the box, with a 16GB memory slot. 0.2 EDGE is the data speed for the Curve as well as some of the previous BlackBerrys, while the speed of the Bold is a nice 3.6 HSDPA which means that downloading will be a breeze.
The design, the calling, messaging, talk time, and navigation are all very good on the Curve, and should be even better on the Bold. Web browsing, memory, connectivity, productivity, video, and music are all improved on the Bold.
If you need more in a phone and can wait a little longer for it to be released then you might want to go with the Bold, but if you don’t need all that the Bold has to offer, the Curve is still a very good smartphone that will do what you need it to do.
What do you think; would you prefer the Curve or the Bold?

Well the you’ve already identified the source of your problem when you said that you did’t want your want to change your service to a superior provider. Haha< but in all seriousness you can actually get BB OS 4.5 (which has MS Office support) from BB’s website. But be warned< when you update your OS, it erases everything on your phone.

i disagree the curve is the better phone the bold and the curve are very much the same but the bold has a flash for its camara but i dont take much pictures you it only comes to that curves cheeper plus your mostly getting the same but without a flash light you still have everything that the bold gets \.

i like the curve better for girls i am 13 and i am getting the curve, i got the pearl before which i really like, but i am trying out the curve now, my aunt has a curve and it is really nice, i think tuhe bold is better for a boy because it is heavier and more rough looking (unless you get white but that’s the only way you can really make it girly) i agreee with the curve
