  Thought about getting the Bold, but I’ve been with T-Mobile forever and I love their rates and their coverage so I got the 8900 instead and I’m loving it! I do love the Bold’s keyboard better and I do find myself wishing I had some 3G love at times, but that’s about it. I experimented with a G1 for a week but I returned it for many reasons, with one being that T-Mobile’s 3G was just not quick enough in my area. I’ve got Wi-Fi at work, home, and school so 90% of the time I’m happy with browser speed.

  You’ve surely heard about the 8900’s beautiful screen, and they’re not lying. It’s packing a 480×360 resolution and is definitely the best screen I’ve ever seen on a phone. It’s like a plasma screen with pictures showing up in HD. The camera is also sharp, and better than the Bold’s, and BlackBerry in general has done a great job of making it possible for their devices to be complete multimedia devices. I’ve got a 4GB MicroSD card in here that holds my most necessary songs for when I don’t feel like bringing along the iPod.

  Cons: loose keyboard, sometimes loose trackball, no Pandora support. In the end, T-Mobile’s great coverage and excellent customer support put this device over the top for me. I renewed my contract for just 1 year because I know in a year 3G support will be a lot better and EDGE is going to be completely obsolete..so that’s when I’ll pick up a 3G device. But until then, the 8900 is all I need.

  UPDATE: Pandora is now available for the 8900…yes!

  The Blackberry Curve 8900 is true to its reviews. It has the weight of a feather but the functionality of your own little army. The menu key opens a plethora of applications which you can always customize via download, and the manual in pdf form helps you out if you get lost along the way. The Blackberry Desktop Manager allows for easy transference of files, music and pictures between your BBerry and laptop. Overall a great for functionality and of course..it’s a great phone LOL !!

  got this originally for a friend overseas but it called to me ever so seductively from the box! i had many times said that the bb curve original was my all time favorite phone,pda,blackberry, everything. it just made me happy to pick it up in comparison to some of the other phones i have tried. and it was love at first curve byte.

  i liked the bold when it was released but everything i didnt like was resolved. the curve is just the right size, wifi was quick and clean, its hot, cutting edge, fast, sharp, sophisticated and it will take your PDA woes away.

  actually i still want blackberry to put the “period” at the very least on the lower case so that you do not have to break stride for a stupid punctuation mark. that is the one thing I have noticed with samsung pdas and maybe other’s i am not remembering but they take some of the commonly used punctuations or special keys and make them easier in placement on the qwerty or by creating a new key or at least a lower case location. my only real criticism that is really silly. it doesnt take away an ounce of my love of this curve.
