8320 Keyboard compared to the 8703e Keyboard?

The 8703e is what I currently have. Since the Curve is the only BB with full Qwerty Keyboard & camera, I wanted to know if there's a difference?

Same?

Different?

I switched from an 8700 to the 8320. The 8320 is a much slimmer design and weighs less. The 8700/8703e keyboards were great. I think the 83xx keyboard is just as good - that's my personal opinion. I didn't like the 88xx keyboards at all - no space between keys. Much more difficult to use in my opinion.

The 8300 also has a microSD memory card slot for media storage.

I assume you know that there is no CDMA Curve out yet.

I love the keyboard on the 8320 its awesome. also your going to have to switch to att or tmobile since vzw doesnt have a curve out yet. I hated the keyboard on the 8800 as well the keys were so tiny i kept hitting like keys at a time. Hope you like the 8320 if you like it...

I went from an 8700g (almost identical to the 8703e) to an HTC WinMo phone briefly, then came back to BlackBerry with my 8300 Curve. I pretty much echo the above users - the 88xx keyboards are not very comfortable to me at all. I do however enjoy the keyboard on the 83xx phones. Very similar to the 87xx series keyboard. The keys are a teensy-bit smaller than the 87xx keys though. My fingers are fat and I do miss keys a little more often, but not enough to throw a tantrum over.

I <3 my 8300 - you will <3 yours too!

I must say, the keyboard on the 8310 is the best I've ever used. I've had a Pearl and an E62(nokia) and I have used my friends' 8800's and 8700s. The 8700 was the best I'd thought, until I got a Curve. It's a bit small and on the right side the enter should be where the shift button is, but otherwise, pure perfection. You'll love it Flagheimer

Definitely different. You'll need to try one out yourself. Keyboard preferences are highly subjective. The Curve's keys are a bit smaller.
