What phone is better, the BlackBerry Curve 8530 or BlackBerry Bold 9650?

I'm a Senior in high school, and I want to super upgrade from this childish phone. I think a BlackBerry would be more suitable, considering I will be in college, and I'll possibly traveling with my friends. As of right now, Sprint has the BlackBerry Curve 8530 (it's in purple!) and BlackBerry Bold 9650 (which is OS 6 ready). I'm really stuck between the two, please help a girl in need. Thank you.

Definitely the BlackBerry 9650 by FAR!!.. for the exact reason you mentioned.. don't be fooled by the "purple" color. OS 6 is AWESOME..and you will love it coming from any previous BlackBerry.. Basically everything you may have wish BB would improve on has been done, most notable is the blazing fast new internet browser and social integration. Keyboard is nicer to type on..From technical perspective this is the best BB on the market other than the 9800. i have the Torch 9800 and im now officially emotionally attached.. lol..

PS.. the fact you have a BB and your in High School means your pretty mature. You haven't succumb to iPhone and all the frivolous apps it comes with.. lol.. 9650 FTW

i think the bold will be better because its newer and much better (in my opinion) then the curve. i have had a curve before but only for a little while because i hated it soooo much!! it couldnt do anything for me! i looked at the bold intending to get it and then the blackberry storm came out and i fell in love with it. but if you dont want a storm, go with the bold. dont get the curve just cuz its in purple thats why people make cases! you could buy the bold love it and spend 6 bucks on a really cute case that will also protect your phone. if you have an already cute colored phone you won't want to cover it so if you drop it alot it will break easy. i hope this helped!
