Another BlackBerry
Phone owned for less than a year

Well, like anothers BlackBerry, the Curve 8900 is no bad, but not too good. The QWERTY keyboard is essential for this phone and the best of it. The display is brilliant too, and not too big. It's slim and light.

If you activate Wi-Fi the battery is totally over, and the reception fails everytime. The camera is normal, 3 MP with LED flash. And the battery, well, the battery dies rapidly and you need to charge this phone almost everyday.

CONS/THINGS YOU MAY HATE IN A BB PHONE:
1. the TRACKBALL!!!! >:/ if your as unfortunate as i am with sweaty palms the track ball sometimes gets sticky---and dirt/dust will eventually accumulate...therefore frequent "cleaning" is required.
2. this is only when your not yet used to using qwerty keyboard---> because BB's are sensitive it may be hard typing at time...and you'll find extra letters and misspelled letters in your text.
3. just like all BB/Cellphones that has wifi access...they said it may get viruses hence an antiVirus is advised---haven't tried having one though...:)

Phone owned for

Everyone says ' ah....thats a sweet little gadget', but underneath its a powerful device that will do almost any task you ask of it and never complain. I agree with the ' where is the 3g' comment, this phone ()in a good service area) will perform as good as or better than some phones I have seen or owned myself that HAVE 3G, so its not just what you got, its how you use it ! LOL.Its nice and easy to handle, personally I still LOVE the trackball, its my whole world ! and I'm not ready for a touchpad thingy just yet...so overall I really love this device, its a quality piece of kit.
