I'm wanting a blackberry but need help on the model.
I'll be using the blackberry for business as well as pleasure, but need to be able to do emails and use the net on the phone.
basically want a model thats newish and that will last me for a while!
(looking for others who own one and love it to recommend which model)
Thanks 
Max
edit: im on a sim only contract, will i be able to push email on a blackberry (heard somewhere u need a contract that is blackberry specific)

I use a bold and although i am not a massive fan of blackberry it`s really good. I normally use an iphone 3g. the apps i downloaded work well and i really like the keyboard, i watched a few review videos before i got this one and the only other one i liked the look of was the storm but it doesn't have wifi and was at the time exclusive to Vodafone. The email is much better than my iphone although i prefer the browser on the iphone. When i connect via 3g surfing the web is ok and pages load quite quickly. the only thing i dont like on the Bold is the maps but thats a minor thing really.

I went from a Bold to a Storm, back to a bold and then settled with the Storm again:)
Why, because after using exclusively TS devices i never got used to a qwerty +trackball .
I can live without WiFi having free data anywhere via Orange.
Build quality on the Storm is a couple of notches above the Bold too, much more high quality Metal in the casing. (versus plastic).
New curve 8900 well worth a look too

Hi,sorry im not a user,but i have had the opportunity to play with all 3, and i frequently get to use a Storm and a Curve 8900. Out of all the Bold stands out for me,its lite weight has a brilliant 2.6inch landscape display, the keyboard is very comfortable and easy to use and its just generaly an excellent device, design is also just spot on, you could hold it for hours and not have sore hands lol.
If Touchscreen is your thing the Storm is tops, to me the clickable screen makes A LOT more sense,far less miss touches, you're able to navigate to what you want then click on it, realy a fantastic device i'd highly recommend it otherwise if you dont care for touchscreen, 3G/HSDPA and want a decent camera get the Curve8900, its a realy decent smartphone,and a lot less wider than the Bold ,and smaller in general than the Storm. Hope that helps. what would i pick? The Bold.

I got the 8900 curve a few days ego and love it. I thought nnot having 3g but the browser is so good it don't bother me at all. Blus it is smaller than the bold and has a better camera. I didn't really fancy a ts as I had just come fron one and now I really like the actual keyboard. As for the simplicity as long as your on a 35 or higher tariff you will get ut as your bolt onm |

I have the Bold and love it, the screen quality and video playback is second to none!
You will need a simplicity tariff I use the 20 one and have the unlimited BlackBerry Bolt on, which gives 600mins and 100 texts, all data on the device comes through BIS so you never get charged for browsing, emails, messengers etc etc
