There have been many BlackBerry mobile handsets to come out of Research In Motion. The BlackBerry smartphone is one of the most wanted handsets available, but there are a great deal to choose from.
When you look at all the BlackBerry handsets available, the BlackBerry Bold, the BlackBerry Storm, The BlackBerry Curve series and BlackBerry Pearl series, no wonder people have a time about making up their minds which one to purchase.
So, with this in mind, I’d like to ask our readers opinion on the BlackBerry handsets. Let us know what’s the best BlackBerry handset available to date in your opinion. Just drop us your view in the comments section below.

I’ve done comparisons between the Bold and the Curve 8900. The Bold has 3G network speed, better CPU, and the best keyboard I’ve seen to date. Typing on it is a pleasure. The Curve 8900, while not having quite the horsepower as the Bold, still has good response from its CPU, a higher-resolution display, and a better camera. The keyboard is quite good on the Curve, just not as roomy as the Bold. Therein is the deciding factor between the two. The Curve fits comfortably in your hand and easily slips into a pocket. The Bold, while being more of a workhorse, is noticeably larger and doesn’t quite feel as ergonomic in your hand or pocket. The Curve, while packed with great hardware, trades off just a little of the horsepower of the Bold for a more comfortable fit. I honestly believe that both are about equal, with the deciding factor left up to personal preference…. do you want a more comfortable fit, or a slightly better typing and online experience?
What Robert says backs up what I’ve heard from both an Orange salesman and a previous Carphone manager. To me, using a Blackberry for work, speed and ease of typing are far more important factors. I’m currently using a Storm, which, with it’s clickable touchscreen is impressive in its new technology, but sadly lacking in responsiveness (need for accuracy will slow down type speed no matter how well acquainted you get with the phone).
