I'm probably 30% slower typing on the 8830 vs the 8703, and another 15% slower still on the 8130. I want the 8330 bear my children.

Although, other than the fact that I just dropped my Pearl and broke the button that holds battery cover in place, I love it and I think I'm going to stick with it. The Curve is really slick.

I really like the belt clip when I'm on the phone (for the volume controls), or if I'm in any kind of a back-and-forth conversation (email, PIN, text, IM) with someone. Once I got a <a href="http://www.invisibleshield.com/" rel="nofollow">screen guard</a> for my my Pearl I started keeping that in my pocket more and it hasn't been too much of a pain. It looks like Amazon has the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBlackBerry-Curve-Leather-Swivel-Holster%2Fdp%2FB000ROGDNM%2F&tag=coreygilmorsb-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325" rel="nofollow">leather Curve holsters</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=coreygilmorsb-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> for ~$13 vs $30 at shopblackberry.com which isn't that bad.

I thought I would hate the sleeve as well, but this thing is thin enough to keep in a pocket. I still want a belt holster, but am making due for now. The screen is very bright, and the keyboard is pretty good. I still prefer the side dial to the rollerball, but am learning . I've had my 8320 from TMobile for a few weeks now, and it's very nice.
