Best Blackberry
First of all, I apologize for the "light" subject given what is happening to the Bear hires. I wish you all the best of luck and hopefully the rumors are not true.
With that being said, which Blackberry would you recommend for a junior analyst? My firm is giving me the option of which device I would like...
Curve? Pearl? Etc. I don't care which one is "cool" or "trendy", I just want somebody to tell me which device is the best for the job.
Thanks.
fuck it, get an iphone
I had the Pearl last year for personal use. Absolutely useless if you actually want to send an email off of it. The firm I interned at last summer gave me an 8800 which I quite enjoyed so I would recommend that.
curve, pearl is for 13 yr old girls
Blackberry is coming out with the 9000 fairly soon, but probably won't be integrated into the enterprise network by the time you start.
Pearl and 88xx are the best.
At my fund people are split 50/50 between the two devices. Personally, I didn't care for the width of the 88xx so I traded it out for a Pearl. It is a bit more difficult to respond to emails with the Pearl (though not materially so), but I'm glad I made the switch.
Thanks for the input.
From what I hear, the IPhone sucks for business purposes and IMO, the Pearl seems like a toy for rich girls (as you said).
I'll probably get a Curve.
I like having a full keyboard.
The Pearl isn't really a smartphone and isn't geared as such. The Curve is sexy but I've never tried it but is a class above the Pearl. Anyway, you really can't go wrong w/ 88xx in terms of functionality
The Pearl is the best because its lightweight and I can type 30 words a minute with the one-handed keyboard...all the other models are like throwing a brick in your pocket.
So true.
Also, the 88xx is somewhat awkward as a phone. Like talking into a brick.
Not sure if this is actually a preview of the 9000, but the source seems to be the best I could find. The new 9000 looks pretty good, comes out in June apparently.

Has to be the Curve 8320. As it has a full querty against the Pearl and also the Curve 8320 lets you make voice calls over wireless 802.11b/g networks too!
CURVE! I have it, i love it. Best blackberry available. Tons of additional features like GPS, 2 mega pixel camera and bloomberg. It's small, it's light and has a full keyboard. The lack of a full keyboard on the pearl is a huge disadvantage. When you need to write e-mails quickly, the curve is a godsend. The curve does everything the 8800 does but is much lighter. In addition, the coolest feature is the ability to read PDFs ont he screen, either as text or an image. Perfect for revewing documents when I'm away from my desk. (Works wonders for recruiting, I get through a stack of pdf resume's between before getting back on the plane).
All this talk about blackberrys is making me feel bad about my worthless shitty razor.
