My new Blackberry Curve 8900
So I definitely made the switch to T-mobile and got the Blackberrry Curve 8900. This phone is pretty great. It was way smaller than I thought it would be when I first opened it up. But that’s a good thing because the comparable Bold is pretty big.
Pros:
- Screen resolution is great
- Keyboard doesn’t seem as cheap as Curve 8300
- Thin form factor
- Standard headphone jack
- Wi-fi UMA functionality compatible with T-mobile Hotspot
- 3 Megapixel camera
- GPS
- MicroSD card slot expandable to 16GB
Cons:
- EDGE network, not 3G
Other than that, there wasn’t much to complain about with the phone. I have a ton of other friends who have blackberries and communicate over BB Messenger. It’s definitely the best Blackberry out there, depending on your opinion about the Storm. I would recommend this phone if you’re on T-mobile or looking to switch to T-mobile.

I got one of these for my wife who has a small internet retail business and is constantly checking her email. She’s never been one for technology and hasn’t got on with any of the phones she’s had before. On her previous phone she struggled to send a text message but on the 8900 she was emailing and text’ing within minutes. She loves the phone and it’s never far from her side, even in bed! I’m hankering after an iPhone, but if the 8900 had HSDPA I have one in a heartbeat. Apart from no 3G I’d say the only downside for me was it was far too easy to set up. By the time I’d got home my 12 year son had already configured the Blackberry service & email accounts, so my days of setup research were for nought. 9.5/10 – just give it 3G please…
