T3 did a great article on this exact topic, but with the Storm included. Below is the article, and it lists all of the technical dimensions. They all have basically the same operating system, except for the storm, which has an updated system that is touch capable.
So just find the one with the features you want, and go with that.
BlackBerry Battle: Storm vs Bold vs Pearl vs Curve
Four phones vying to be the business for your business, but which has the best spec?
The BlackBerry Storm was announced today, bringing with it BlackBerry's first serious stab at the consumer market. It looks like an iPhone, it has a touchscreen like an iPhone and when Vodafone launched the website this morning, it even sported the same OS as an iPhone! Vodafone took a few minutes to spot that little oversight though, but it looks like they managed to pull it before Apple's lawyers got out of bed.
But where BlackBerry doesn't have to compete with Apple is on the push email service. In short, BlackBerry's works, and MobileMe is, well, best left unmentioned. Thus Storm has to battle it out with other BlackBerry devices for the best mobile emailer crown. So without further ado, let the spec battle commence:
