BlackBerry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile)
With a Curve-like size, newer OS pre-loaded, 3G connectivity, trackpad, stellar battery life, and an equally great keyboard, it's worth spending the money on.
It's well made, feels nice in the hand, has a great screen and keyboard, and the new optical trackpad is at least equal to the outgoing trackball. So, if you can get it for the right price, we wholeheartedly recommend you go for it.
Its keyboard, display, software, and specs make it the best BlackBerry to date--by far.
