Pingback: I did a 8900 Review - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
Thanks for the review. For me it was the keyboard that won me over to the BlackBerry. Here is good link on the subject:

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the monthly plan that you got from Rogers? The best I’ve been able to concoct is the $17.50 + $30 BB VP + SAF/911/tax = ~$62/month.
Hey Michael, I think this is the same plan that I am on, give or take a few dollars. However since I am a student I get some discounts here or there, I do however end up paying more for international calls etc. Hope that helps!
Thanks Kush. The reason I ask is I’m currently with Fido and I’m debating between paying for an unlocked 8900 and staying with Fido or jumping over to Rogers to get a subsidized 8900.
I see above that your product spec listing says “YES” for predictive text input – I have just got a BB 8900 but can’t find how to activate predictive text. Can you help?
Thanks.
Hello, the predictive input is coming soon for version 5 of the operating system, it is not available yet!
I left a similar blog on http://www.trubbles.com havent had to great of luck with the device not sure if its my T-mobile service or the phone but either way it drops calls and internet is slow
Have you upgraded your phone? There have been many software releases that might fix the issues you are having!
I got my blackberry curve 8900 t-mobile from ebay only because it has wi-fi. I have been playing with it for 6 hours to figure it out how I can access the internet and instant messaging via wi-fi but whenever I try to do it it leads me to get the t-mobile data plan. I don’t want to get a data plan. I want to use it with wi-fi. I connected the phone to my home wi-fi and it shows next to the t-mobile and also shows uma instead of edge. I don’t know what I need to do to access the internet. I am not buying the stupid data plan. NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, which shoes are those?
Those are the Nike Shox. I like them a lot. I have not found any nicer ones!
one year later now…any further comments on this device? I have withstood the urge to throw my pearl flip under the front wheels of a bus, and the salesman that sold it to me under the back, for the last 18 months. Yesterday I called Rogers and told them I was leaving them for a competitor…for two reasons the pearl flip, and the cost.
Salesman offered me some discounts and freebies, and considering the hassle of changing everything I decoided to stay…unfortunately, one of the hooks was a curve 8520, which he suggested would be MUCH better than my flip….two cans with a tight string would be better than that flip. Today I surf…and find out that the 8520 has no flash for the camera, (Very Important to me) and is an “entry level”…. AKA… POS bb.. So I do some more research and Rogers offer this 8900 (which I think now comes with OS 5)… whatever…but I don’t think it is G3 enabled….and that seems to be the leading edge today.
Just very tired of being over sold, and under delivered. Any suggestions? I use it MOSTLY for the phine device but IF the Data features were ACTUALLY usable, I might use some of them. GPS is a feature I would like to have,but that cost mor, so I would just buy a free to use GPS device, if that became a need.
Pearl Flip downfalls:
Terrible phone quality
Terrible keypad,
Terrible Phone quality,
Terrible predictive text,
Terrible phone quality,
Terrible screen resolution,
did I mention terrible phone quality?
Terrible screen size,
Terrible voice calling and voice response.
Usless as a BB device.
oh, and one last thing,
Terrible phone quality.
Decent camera though, WITH A FLASH.
I read that review before writing my comment and noticed it was a year old… That was why I asked if there were any new comments….from you, or yur readers..before I re-commit to something I’m going to dislike in a heartbeat.
Very good blog though. I much enjoyed the clean easy toread style, and the excellent comments your readers left behind…This is a stand-out blog in my eyes.
Well Done Sir.
Thanks for comming to our home for the World’s Greatest Winter Olympics. Hope you had a great time here. We enjoyed having you, and the rest of the world.
Thanks for your comments, they really made my day! A year later, I am back to the iPhone os. I’m currently using my iPhone 3GS. Blackberries are not for me. Currently though I would have to say the best Blackberry is the 9700. It has 3G data as you were asking about. Rogers has this phone, so you should pressure them into giving it to you for free. Anyways if you have anymore questions let me know.
