Angry Having Doubts (Curve vs. Pearl)

Please Login to Remove!

I have been doing tons of research on the Curve, everything about it is awesome...except the size. Is it really worth it to have the curve over the pearl? The main things I want is the music, internet capabilities and camera. I know the curve has a slightly better camera...but how much better? I really like the size of the pearl, But like the idea of having a bigger screen. Is there other features that would convince to still get the curve over the pearl? Please help me out, I haven't really been a member here for that long, but I have been reading for weeks, I just don't want to regret my decision.

If it's the camera that you're worried about, the Pearl 2 is coming out in the next few months. Maybe you should wait for that one. It's supposed to have a better camera.

Someone actually did a comparison between the pictues from the Curve and Pearl. There's not too much improvement over the Pearl.

But since you mention music and Internet, you probably want the Curve because they made few improvements on the media player. Since it have a bigger screen, you can browse the Internet better.

Secrecyguy has good points. I loved the size of the Pearl at first but when email addresses started having to wrap to the next row due to the small screen I was over it. The screen, IMO, is too small to get any enjoyment out of the browsing it may do.

You should figure if you want suretype or qwerty keyboard. I personally like the qwerty so I picked the curve.

Yeah...if you're a big texter or emailer, the Curve might be your better choice. I still love my Pearl though and won't part from it for quite a while.

I"m thinking of buying the curve, trying it out, and selling it when the pearl 2 comes out if its just too big.
