Hello

My name is Michael and i am a faithfull pearl user ( 8100 series)/att who is seriously considering upgrading to a gemini 8500

I would appreciate answers to 2 questions
1) is teh 8500 stronger than the 8100 ? in terms of processing speed, space/memory for applications . I prefer the form factor of teh pearl but find it not powerful enough . If the 8500 packs a better punch i would forego on the form factor of the 8100
2) are there big differences between the 8500 and the 8900 and if so what are they . form factor wise they look identical

thnak you in advance

The 8520 and the 8520 would both be a big step up from the 8100. But it's also not the best there is if your looking for the fastest. Though it is a quick light thing, I do enjoy mine.

Based on your questions, I suggest you go to Smartphones, Cell Phones & Smart Phones at BlackBerry.com and click the button that says Smartphones, then click Compare Smartphones. Handy tool that allows you to drag and drop different models and compare the technical specs.
