BlackBerry Full QWERTY Keyboard or SureType?

All other factors aside, if you are making the decision between the BlackBerry Curve and 8800, I would go in the direction of the Curve simply because of the keyboard. Regardless of your choice between the Curve and 8800, with the addition of Spell Check to the latest versions of the BlackBerry OS you can be rest assured your messages will leave the phone spelled correctly.

Kevin Michaluk – While the BlackBerry 8800, 8700, and 8300 Series offer full QWERTY keyboards, the ultra-slim Pearl utilizes BlackBerry’s SureType technology (which assigns multiple letters to each key) for data input. If you receive more emails than you send, and place value on having a small-sized phone, the BlackBerry Pearl may just be for you.

While I personally have never been a fan of SureType, I have seen people become very adept at using SureType, to the point where they can equal the speed and accuracy of me on a full QWERTY BlackBerry.

While full QWERTY keyboards are larger (by necessity) than the Pearl’s SureType keypad, the QWERTY method of data entry is very easy to learn and become proficient with, is fast, and offers high accuracy. Link [tags]blackberry[/tags]
