The 8330 is cheaper for a 3yr contract over the 8830 ($100 vs $300), but I don't know much about either. Can anyone advise? Personally, I'm staying away from the iPhone, multimedia being less important to me than a good phone with data capabilities.

I have a Curve and the gf has a World 8830. Both are the same phone for the most part other than the size and a camera on the Curve. Here phone is larger and doesn't have a camera that is about it.
As I noted above, check into carrier limitations and features, my 8330 Curve on Sprint doesn't have WiFi but I hear some 83XX on other carriers do, as well as the 8900 Curve (I believe the 8900 is a Canadian issue along with the 8350i coming out soon for Sprint/Nextel (the i stands for iden, the Nextel push to talk/walkie talkie feature) also above note that Sprint doesn't allow MMS or picture messaging on their Blackberries or some of the higher end Windows Mobile phones, however you can send MMS on their Nextel phones. They cripple the devices so you cannot send or get them, when someone sends me an MMS on my Curve I get an url from Sprint where I go to the "picture mail" website and view the pic then I can save it to my phone from there, and they expire after 60 days on their own, so if you forget about it and don't save it to your phone then it is gone.
