Default BB Trackpad

I just ordered the BB Curve 8520 and it had a trackpad instead of a trackball. Anyone here have a review for me? I hope to hear that it works well, because I've had to replace my trackball a couple of times due to being forced to use my phone with dirty hands.

I finally caved in and bought my first Blackberry yesterday, I purchased the new Bold and it has the trackpad. I really like it, very responsive and easy to navigate with.

I used it on my brother's bold... I think it is much much better than the trackball.

I'm totally hooked on the pad idea, but my cousin just walked in and he has both the bold and the curve and the bold feels so much more....quality. The buttons on the curve feel a little Fisher Price-like. His curve doesn't have the pad, though.

Hmm... Decisions.

In my brief 24 hours with the Bold I have come to like it very much. Easy to use, and the keys felt more solid than the curve when I was trying them both out at the store.

Screw it. I just called and switched to the Bold. $200 instead of $50, but what the hell. After playing with both, the feel in quality was significant. BB Bold 9700 is my new phone.

Haha, your reasoning was just like mine yesterday.

"Hmm, fifty bucks versus two hundred? Yeah I'll take the expensive one!"
