EGDE is noticably slower than EVDO.
However, you'll gain WiFi and unlocked GPS, which are BIG advantages over the Verizon 8830.

That's my big deal. I held my friend's Tmobile Curve next to my 8830 and noticed little difference on a lot of sites and on Google maps. Probably because of latency time. Once my phone gets going, it's speedy. Still, I don't think the Berry is fast enough to keep up sometimes.
I'd wait for the Bold, but I've been hearing enough mixed things about it (build quality, battery life, not a 'real' Berry, etc), and that it won't be out until August/September. Not saying it's bad, just not sure I want to wait, personally. And right now I have an easy shot to get out of Verizon for free, given my lengthy list of problems I've had over the past year.
Any more thoughts?
