Which phone to email several photos at once?

I am currently with O2 using a BlackBerry Bold 8900. I am required to send up to 10 pictures (not fussed on camera quality as they are compressed to 200 DPI anyway). Currently this can take me up to 30 minutes depending on signal - on a good day I have an upload speed of around 4kb/s.

As my contract is coming up to renewal, O2 have offered me the BlackBerry 9725 but they are unaware of the specifications and I cannot find any online.

I dont mind porting to a new network, I just need a handset capable of push email, and emailing multiple pictures at a faster speed - ideally HSDPA as a colleague on the 3 network with a Sony Satio can email photos in seconds. Handset memory is not an issue as a memory card will be inserted.

Any ideas?

    Can you switch your phone to 3G mode, the 3G connection is faster than 2G signal for data sending, so web browsing, emails, photos etc.

    When i browse the web i swap to 3G, when i stop i go back to 2G to save battery.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
  • Never heard of a 9725, I'd double check that number.

    I'm on Vodafone, and via 3G using a BB 9700, my upload speed is 91.85Kbits/s, so maybe a 3G BB with Vodafone?

    8900 doesn't have 3G.
