Which Berry should i get?

I have been wanting to change my phone for the longest time.

Within 3 weeks of getting my Samsung phone, i literally have this statement ringing in my brain whenever a) the screen stops being sensitive, b) the phone just did a Will-hung c) I have frustration with typing out smses on the blardy screen pad, d) all other problems associated with a touch-screen phone.

For the longest time, i’ve set my heart on a BB Bold.



Advantages Disadvantages
It’s 3.5G, can? Seriously, does 3.5G really make that much of a difference?
It has a wide screen, good enough for surfing Do u need to surf that much using your BBB?
It’s expensive, because it has wonderful features Do you really need these features?


It’s expensive, but because of it’s superior features, many people are continuing to get the Blackberry, and the price never dips.

I’ve also considered the BB Javelin.

 

Alas, the BB Javelin has disappeared from the shores of Singapore. At least this is what i thought it to be. It’s not as big and business-like as Bold, yet it has really good features.

Just last week (or was it a few weeks back), a new BB model surfaced. And it’s called the BB Gemini.



Hmmm for starters, it has been touted to be the entry-level BB. It has the basic features of a typical blackberry, has WIFI, GPS….. Camera, but no flash?!

Not very apt for surfing because of the tiny screen.

But it’s rather comfy on the purse-strings.

Hmmm…

I’m kinda tempted to get the Gemini, but i need to do a bit more research on this phone. At the minimum, i need to know how it feels, how big it is and stuff like that. And with my (ever-)growing dissatisfaction with the Samsung phone, i’m inevitably seeing myself gearing towards this phone, cos i will most probably (I sure HOPE SO) have the budget to get it next month. Even though i’m like 4 months away from renewing my contract to walk-on-Sunshine.

But, if i really get the BB Gemini, i’ll probably buy a digi-cam (not too expensive though), to replace the short-fall by the NO-FLASH camera. And i guess it’s also time that i get a digi-cam.

Watch this space to find out what will be my eventual decision.
