    The 8520 is a cut down version of the 8900. The Bold is very big and bulky.

    You would be best with the 8900. Best to have a play in the shop and have a look at www.blackberry.com as you will see all the specifications and features.

    it is just like the bold 9000 but better and smaller

    Agreed. I have the Bold (9000) - much better build than the Curve (loads of issues with wobbling keyboards) however the camera isn't great and it is quite chunky.

    I have the bold to, and i love mine. it is quite chunky but to be honest i dont even notice this now, its just a case of getting used to it.

    Most of the people i know with the curve have had a few problems with it, but ive never owned one myself.

    The only downside i can see about waiting for the new one, is that when it is 1st released i'd imagine it being pretty costly.
