Samsung Galaxy Ace or Blackberry Curve 9320??
I'm looking at changing my phone now that my contract with Virgin is up. Had a leaflet through my door yesterday with the following offers:
Samsung Galaxy Ace £23 per month
Unlimited data
Unlimited texts
Unlimited calls to UK landlines and Virgin mobiles
2500 mins
Insurance included with 24 hr replacement.
Blackberry Curve 9320 £15 per month
500MB data
500 texts
unlimited calls and texts to Virgin mobiles
Insurance included with 24 hr replacement
unlimited BB messenger and mail
At the moment I have a BB which I mainly use for FB, Twitter, internet and BB messenger. I only send about 200 texts a month and rarely use it to call people.
Wondered if anyone could advise me which phone is more suited to my needs and which people think would give best value for money. Thanks.

If you use any BB features at all then the BB would be the best option0

Is your contract with Virgin still running? If so I would give their retentions dept a ring. Surely they could do a better deal especially if you threaten to leave.0

Check both phones out and see which one you like.0

If you're a big user of BBM then you have to have the Blackberry. If you can manage without BBM then there are better phones than the Galaxy Ace for that kind of money.
How many minutes do you actually use per month?0
