advice on update within Blackberry family

->> I have a BB Curve 8310 that I am 100% pleased with. It has seen a tough life and is looking a bit worse for wear. I think it is time to retire it.

I am eligible for an upgrade to a new device with ATT and I am tempted to go with another Curve 8310 but wanted to see what others might have to say about the upper Curve models that are out there or any other BB phones.

What do these upper tiered Curves (eg: 8320, 8520,8900) or the Bold offer me that make them better than my trusty old Curve 8310.

Note... I am not a heavy user of the interweb off my phone. I typically just use the phone to talk and text and leave my online time to an actual computer.

Thanks

->> For what you do, there's no reason to re-sign a contract just to have a new phone. Sounds like you're happy with your current one, so why not use it until it dies?

My BB is beat the hell up. Maybe I was being too euphemistic earlier. Keys stick, the trackball has issues often that has me taking the face off and cleaning, and it is all kinds of dinged and scratched. So it is time to consider a new phone before this one craps out on me some time and place where I will be rushed into a new phone.

I am staying with ATT for the service where I live so the contract is not an issue - I am using ATT one way or the other. I want to stay with a BB and was curious about the higher end models. A new 2-year contract with ATT gets me another Curve8310 for $9.99. For a bit more, I can move up to a higher end model or something else. The online comparisons seems to make it a wash for what I do so I was looking for any real word feedback I could get.
