Which Blackberry?

Hi all,

I am thinking of changing my Nokia N95 for a Blackberry but unsure which one is the best on the market at the moment.

I currently use my N95 for internet (Facebook etc), checking emails and sometimes watching films/videos.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Gilly

Easy, Bold 9700 is the best. Storm2 might be worth a shout if web browsing is really important and you dont mind touchscreens.

Think you get about 1Gb on most blackberry's and they all take micro-sd hc cards so yeah, up to 32Gb i suppose.

I brought a 8520 just after christmas, and the wife has just upgraded to the 9700 and looks miles better than mine. Plus she has 3G speeds when out of wifi range and her screen is better. But i will hopefully upgrade to the bold soon. I don't like the storm, the clicky touch screen feels dodgy so I would go for the bold 9700.

Just thought i would drop my 2pence in.
