HTC Wildfire S or Blackberry Curve 3g

Good evening all,

I am considering buying a new phone and want to buy either the Blackberry Curve 3g or the HTC Wildfire S but, I just cant seem to decide which one to get. I am split for choice and all opinions and views will be highly regarded and taken into consideration.

Thanking you in advance

    If it was a nice sleek phone you were after, I'd choose the Blackberry Curve 9360. It's only came out recently, 5mp camera with flash and the querty keyboard makes typing a lot easier. What you do miss out on on the handset is obviously the touchscreen but also Android operating system.

    To me, not having Android doesn't bother me as much as it would some. My phone is used for texts, calls, WhatsApp and reading the news so I'm not one for a whole host of customisation. You may be different though but that's certainly what I'd choose!

    The blackberry if you want -
    - battery life
    - physical keyboard
    - blackberry messenger

    Wildfire S if you want -
    - apps
    - good touchscreen
    - Web browsing

    They are both good phones. On balance I prefer the HTC ... Needs charging every day though, but that's the norm.
