A little help, please. 8830 or ...
I have a 3 year old BlackBerry 7250 and it's time to replace it. I'm looking at the BB 8830, but I'm not thrilled with the keyboard design. Everything else is great, but I'm used to space between the keys.
Can someone who uses an 8830 give me some feedback about typing on the keyboard and anything else you feel is important to know about the phone?

But I can tell you this, you will get used to it quickly! ANd once you do, I think this style of keyboard is actually easier to use than some of the other styles with space between the keys.
