I've got both and I must say that the screen is an order of magnitude better. I've changed all the settings so the fonts are large enough for me, but I keep looking at that screen in amazement.

The second thing that's different is the size - it's more curve size. If you don't want to go any smaller than the 8830 then it will probably bother you - frankly I wish it were 8830 size as the keyboard just isn't as good as the Bold's. I think I'll get used to it though.

Finally, it's a real good upgrade in terms of speed - it's much faster than the 8830.

Whether or not these things are worth the $600 is up to you, but I'm happy with it and am looking to give my 8830 to a person in my church who wants to try the Blackberry.
