Updating the look of the Curve with a sleekly styled titanium finish, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 for T-Mobile is the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone yet.
In addition to its stunning good looks--with titanium-colored finish accented by chrome highlights--the Curve 8900 is packed with communication and location features.
The built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) supports both voice and data, making it easier to stay connected to family, friends and colleagues using T-Mobile's Unlimited HotSpot Calling service, while the built-in GPS supports location-based services including turn-by-turn navigation.
The Blackberry Curve 8900 weighs 3.9 ounces and measures 2.4 x 4.3 x 0.5 inches. Its 1400 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.5 hours of talk time, and up to 360 hours (15 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.
The BlackBerry Browser on the Curve 8900 is designed to make on-the-go Internet browsing fast and fun--you can even start a search right from the home page. Navigate sites and zoom in on content using a trackball-controlled pointer, set bookmarks and view your history. Plus, the BlackBerry Browser works with a host of other applications to make things like online purchasing and tracking information on your favorite pages easier.

Best Blackberry EverBy Robert T. Olson (SLC, UT) I have owned this for about 2 weeks now. Some how i was lucky enough to have it shipped early and it has been the best phone I have ever had. Those familiar with the blackberries know that this phone has been anxiously awaited on for a long time and those who don't better ask somebody. The wait has been worth it and now the new Curve is gracing our hands. It really is amazing to hold in your hand. It's like when you first held the original curve, but even better! (if you can imagine that) Also the screen on it is the sharpest screen i've seen on a hand held. It's like Super HD if that's even such a thing. You can also make calls or browse on the Wi-Fi network and once you install Google Maps you have a great map system (since the phone includes GPS) The keyboard is very nice and easy to get used to. It's also not as loud as the old curve. The Chrome accents are very sharp on the edges and the phone is very sexy. The battery life is alright but i'm on it all day every day hence the Crack in Crackberry. Once you do a software update it lasts a lot longer. The web browser is a true web browser. People are complaining about no 3G and what not but it's not a big deal for me. It's fast enough. Plus you can have your face book and twitter apps right on the phone and it comes with about 5 great games right out of the box.
Overall i would highly recommend this phone to anybody who wants to send and receive e-mail (which is full html) every day and who just wants a nice phone. The media functions are very nice on it as well. Movies that wouldn't play on my old Curve play very nicely on this one. The camera has auto focus and take very nice sharp pictures as well. Better than any other pictures i have ever taken with my cell phone. I have an 8 gb memory card in it (i bought off of amazon) and you really will be blown away by the pictures this takes. So sharp and crisp.
I'm sure the storm and iphone are great but i need a keyboad. Sorry. No touch screens for me. I type off e-mails all day and with a little practice you'll be clicking off full page e-mails in no time.
Definite Upgrade from the 8320By Z. Mujcinovic "Zehrudin" (Hartford, CT) I recently got the 8900 and I love it! They improved the software greatly, especially the browser. It looks very sleek and mature at the same time. I've experienced no problems so far. The best thing about upgrading on the blackberries is that transferring all your personal stuff from one to the other is a breeze. I recommend.
