Neither is better.
It's all a matter of personal preference.

I personally like the curve mainly because of the full sized keyboard. My last 3 devices all had the full sized keyboard so I'm use to it.

IMO I don't think ones better than the other. It's just what your preference is.

Id say your curve is better, seeing how your pearl is stolen you can't use it anymore.

8330 > 8130. Bigger screen and a QWERTY keyboard that never makes a mistake.

8130 > 8330. Smaller physical size. QWERTY SureType keyboard.

Again... personal preference. Neither is better than the other.

I prefer the Curve because of it's size, I personally like BIG phones. (not like my dads first cell phone... but you know, big MODERN phones ). The Pearl is good, too. But I Prefer the curve over it, due to the screen size and keyboard. hehe.

...either way works. i've found that the pearl qwerty suretype keyboard is just as fast and accurate if you give it a chance to grow on you. less keystrokes to get the same message out.

would like to have a larger viewing screen, though...

If you're an avid emailer or texter, you may prefer the Curve. Plus it has wifi and gps built in.

My gf has the Pearl, and I use the Curve.

I found that the Pearl's typing is tedious, and a hassle to get the right words out.
The small size is very sexy though. Having said that, it's more attracted to a feminie audience, though men do use it too.

I personally prefer the Curve. It reflects a corporate status, which I dig. QWERTY keyboard is very convenient. The Pearl fits well in your palm if you're used to non-blackberry phones. Bigger screen for the Curve.

The Javelin will have both, which will be very nice!
