I agree, RIM really, really needs to get there act together and leave EDGE only devices in the PAST where they belong!!! It's nearly 2009 and and AT&T will be upgrading they're network to HSPA+ before the end of next year.

I am so, so sick of RIM putting out EDGE only devices! ! !

You forget RIM demographic, it's not iPhone wielding kids who want to blog and check they're myspace, it's business people who need long lasting batteries and great email apps.

3G simply won't cut it with it's battery power, high speed web browsing has NEVER been a huge demand for business crowd, most simply need email and good sound quality, something evert BB sold.

If your sick of BB with EDGE, then get a damn iPhone.

N95 is an outstanding phone (good choice btw), but again is still a different demographic.

Since I like this site I'll keep it clean. Opinions are like elbows. Everybody has them. Why can't people just take two seconds to think about demographic. It drives me crazy the people who jump to the "I'm smarter than you and know what you should have." I love 3G and have 3G but I understand the fact everyone is different. Can't we all just get along?

lol @ the att network and trying upgrade their already paltry 3G.

Please, they need edge only because their 3G is so bad that the network damn near got shutdown when the iphone 3G came out!

Edge is fast enough for about 90% of people, and the other 10% can go get a bold.

And isnt edge 2.5? thats a pretty solid speed.

It works pretty swift for me. I live in Las Vegas. And I use a Nokia N95. The 3G network works just fine for me.

Of course it is, the 8900 or "curve" was never meant to be better than the Bold.

You can't market a Rolex to everyone out there. Some of us are still fine with our Seikos 🤣
