what phone should i get?

[Hannah]

i am welling to spend around £150 max on a new smartphone. I prefer keyboard phones to touchscreen and would like a phone which is good for twitter/facebook as well as texting. I am therefore steering towards a blackberry curve 9320 as this would then enable me to have BBM as well. do you think this would be a good phone for a 15 year old? Are there any other phones you would suggest? Please answer.

Yes its kinda like a status figure cause everyone has one, or you're a nobody, well that's the theory

BB is brilliant phone, that drags everyones attraction. But I don't think you'll be able ve use BBM for free, it cost extra £5. If I were you, I'd go for it and I won't suggest any phone coz they're all touch screen. Good luck.

I highly recommend you go for a nokia c3-00, nokia c3-01, nokia asha 302, or a Samsung chat 335. they have great social media integration and are the best qwerty phones at your budget. the 9320 you want actually exploded and fired a 10-year old kid's blanket while he was just simply fiddling with it in bed, and the plastic ended up melting on his leg. that kid was in agony. this happened about couple of weeks ago. blackberrys aren't reliable and therefore their profits are slumping down drastically, and since this news i hate them more than ever. they offer the least features of all phone brands and charge extortionate prices, and if that isn't enough, they're not reliable at all. the bbm feature is the only thing which keeps them alive now, and even this is becoming less popular. their reputation has dropped, and nokia is coming back in the game instead. the nokia asha 302 btw, has a more powerful processor than the 9320 at 1ghz (9320 has a mere 800 Mhz processor), which is equivalent to the processor the in the blackberry bold 9790. this alone shows that it's a better phone than the 9320 curve. anyone who has knowledge about mobile phones won't buy a blackberry at this time.
