Which Blackberry is the best?

There are a bunch off new Blackberries in the market these days. I'll take a look at each and give my views:

* Blackberry Bold (Powerful)
This is a power-packed Blackberry. It supports almost all the wireless protocols out there including WiFi and 3G. The screen resolution is equivalent to an iPhone even though the screen size is smaller and thus gives a very clear view. The processor and memory of this phone is better than any other blackberry (it will respond faster to your commands compared to other blackberries). The only negative aspect I can think of is the size. It's bigger than the 8900 or the pearl and will need a bigger pocket to go into.

* Blackberry Storm (Touch Screen)
After viewing the commercials, I was really exited about this phone. It was suppose to give serious competition to the iPhone as it is a blackberry with the touch screen. But sadly after going through few videos in YouTube it seems that the Storm lacks in power and has a slow response time. Moving through pictures/videos can be a pain. I would not like a smartphone which is slow.

* Blackberry Pearl Flip
When the original pearl was launched it was clearly a winner. The blackberry which is not FAT and fits in your hand comfortably. With the Flip, RIM has taken Pearl to the next level. So, if you want a sleek/small blackberry, then this is THE one for you. But you will have to compromise on the performance and screen quality if you settle for this one.

* Blackberry 8900 (Javelin)
This one comes really close to the Bold and will probably win if you consider the size. It's smaller than the Bold and has those curves which you will love. It has Wifi but no 3G. If you can compromise a bit on power and are not particular about having a 3G smartphone, then this is the one for you.
