Need Help Choosing Phone

    Guys I'm going outta my brain the last few weeks trying to choose, so please, help! Has to be one of these:

    Blackberry Curve 9320.
    Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.

    Now, bear in mind these factors:

    - I have had the BB Curve 8520 nearly 2 and a half years, and if I upgrade to the 9320 I could stay on pay as you go as the phone is cheap(ish). Also the fact that I am already so used to BB's and I actually like them.

    - I wouldn't mind too much going on bill pay to get the S3 mini, I actually tried to do it online only they looked for a 300 quid deposit, so I cancelled and said sure I could buy the phone on pay as you go for that much. However a friend told me if I went into the shop they would most likely be able to get around that deposit.

    - Finally: although I like and am used to using a BB, I actually feel a change of scene might be good, and the S3 Mini looks like a great little device.




    TL;DR:

    BB Curve 9320 or S3 Mini?

    Personally, I would go with the Blackberry. The Curve 8520 is not a patch on the 9320. The 9320 runs Blackberry OS7, which is very nice and quick. Or, if you are thinking about going billpay, why not hold out a little while longer and go for the latest Blackberry 10?

    Yes I am so much used to the BB. So maybe I would be better keeping with them, it's just I was kind of wondering if I should make a change to android, I mean would the touchscreen be easy to get used to?

    Will the BB 10's be good?

    Also I did really like the 8520, so maybe if the 9320 is much better then I should probably go for it? Prefer not to be tied down to a bill to be honest. Although some say if you can afford bill pay you won't go back.

    the samsung s3 mini is only €250 on vodafone, which is a really good price considering it's 100euro dearer on 3. I personally love touch screen, in my opinion it was very easy to get used to, i would say it's easier to navigate web pages etc when using touchscreens rather than keys.
