Camera gives good results, especially close ups. Importing calendar, notes and contacts from Palm Treo worked. Phone functionality is good and responsive (so far). Network connections and options worked well internationally.<br />CONS: I would have preferred the new track sensor in place of the trackball, however I've had no major problems with the trackball; still adjusting to the amount of pressure needed to click. Camera and video do not handle back-lighting well, just learning how to lock in and hold focus and exposure, then move to frame the picture. <br />I have not installed any APPS yet. <br />FYI: I turned in an iPhone (after 2 weeks) to get this phone and am glad I did; my Windows PC and the iPhone just did not speak enough of the same language. Nor did it like my Palm data.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=36956#review36956 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=36956#review36956 Thu, 13 May 2010 16:56:13 GMT <p><i>skywalkershawty submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8900:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Next to the Bold 9000, this is my favorite blackberry device. <br /><br />PROS:<br />-Nice &amp; little; most blackberries are bulkier and I like that, but this one would work wonders with a female user or anyone who wants a phone that "fits in your pocket"<br />-Very stable<br />-Works like a charm, hard any problems ever with this device<br />-PUSH email was in Real-Time<br /><br /><br />CONS: <br />-No 3G, that is all</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=36133#review36133 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=36133#review36133 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:23:57 GMT <p><i>sage11x submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8900:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Blackberry 8900 v4.6.1.114 on T-Mobile<br />Owned for 6+ months<br />Last 5 phones used: BB Bold 9000, Blackberry Pearl 8110, Blackberry Curve 8310, iphone 3G, iphone (OG), Samsung Blackjack II.<br /><br />What can I say about this phone that hasn't already been said? If you've ever had a BB before you'll know that RIM makes, arguably, the best and most functional business phones on the market. The curve takes this world-class business phone know-how and packages it in an undeniably sleek and sexy wrapper with enough media functionality and power to challenge the recent flood of "smart" phones. <br /><br />PROS:<br />I count myself as a fan of the original Pearl design for it's combination of functionality and pocket friendliness. This Curve is barely wider and yet still finds enough room for a comfortable full-qwerty thumbboard and high-res widescreen. Battery-life is excellent (phone spends half it's day in UMA) and the phone is snappy when navigating menus and browsing media as well as opening email/attachments. Camera quality is above-average compared to most other phones I've used; speakerphone/audio quality is excellent as well-- almost on par with my BOLD and much better than any of the iphones I've owned.<br /><br />CONS:<br />The Curve 8900 was released before RIM went to the optical touch key now used on the Curve 8500 series and Bold 9700-- and that's a shame. While the trackball is easy-to-use and responsive it is also a point of failure on previous BBs I've owned and only time will tell if this version fares any better. Stranger is that the 8900s replacement, the Curve 8520, which HAS the optical mouse is actually a step DOWN in features!<br /><br />The only other complaint I can level against the 8900 is it's lack of 3G. While I personally don't miss this function for my use (and based on the Bolds performance, chose to avoid it on my current BB) I can see this as a deal-breaker for most. Especially considering you pay the same data rate as those customers with access to the extra bandwith.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=35977#review35977 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=35977#review35977 Fri, 25 Dec 2009 05:43:35 GMT <p><i>ladymjk submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8900:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br />MP3 player<br />Gorgeous display<br />Stylish look <br />Good camera<br />WiFi<br />Mute &amp; Lock keys<br /><br />Cons:<br />Not 3G<br />Poor reception â€" I expect more from a device in this price range, gotten better reception out of devices much less expensive.<br />Speaker â€" In call must set in up its screen to be able to clearly understand the person you are talking to.<br />Themes â€" Only 1 - 2 if you count the color variation, just sad.<br />Trackball issues<br />Software Issues (v4.6)<br /><br />I have had this device for almost a year, when it works like its supposed to it is awesome then there’s the other 90% of the time that I want to hurl it across the room.

The interface is flawless, the screen resolution is immaculate, it has the best camera quality I've ever seen (aside from the Memoir), and its incredibly reliable. The only gripe I have about this phone is the inevitable lag. (I guess I can add 3G as a gripe, but 3G is never as good as people make it out to be...completely overrated). Once you get passed that one (or 2) problems, this is a great phone.

I was at an AT&amp;T store at a local mall and a customer highly recommended it to me and I am impressed thus far. <br /><br />I switched from Verizon Wireless to AT&amp;T due to the reception I was getting at my basement apartment and in my new area that I moved to. I also get a 10% discount on my monthly phone bill as opposed to 6% with my employer. With Verizon, I had the Blackberry Curve and EnV touch. I did not like the Verizon Curve but I did like the EnV Touch. Unfortunately, I switched due to the reception and dropped calls in my area w/Verizon.<br /><br />Here are my pros:<br />* Ease of access to both of my e-mail accounts and Facebook accounts<br />* Crystal clear calls. No reception problems thus far. (even in a basement apt)<br />* Nice camera-3.2 MGs<br />* QWERTY keyboard is better than the old Curve that I had.<br />* Battery life is much better. I get a good 2-4 days of mild usage. (The Verizon Curve I would have to charge every day)<br />* Plenty of apps<br />* Good calendar<br /><br />Cons:<br />None thus far<br /><br />Trust me, you will be convinced w/this phone. I'm liking it very much.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=34933#review34933 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=34933#review34933 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:27:37 GMT <p><i>Austexan submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8900:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I upgraded from the curve to this and what a disappointment! The only positive gain is the display - clean and crisp. Everything else a major disappointment. This phone lags terribly when switching between apps, and hangs on the most ridiculous of tasks. Try changing your background image and periodically the phone freaks out with the hour glass going as if it were performing some difficult task.<br /><br />Inetnet on this - WORTHLESS. It is slower than my first 1200 baud modem. The internet is essentially a useless feature. Getting around a page, once it opens, is much more tedious and nerve wracking than with most phones. And without 3G face it - the internet is not really a viable option on a cell phone. <br /><br />It is going back today.

There were some complaints about how the back cover looks cheap.. not really, I think its fine.<br /><br />The UMA feature where the phone uses WIFI instead of mobile network is great. I found the signal quality to be pretty good in south San Jose.. no dropped calls or dropped packets and voice quality is excellent (FYI: I was with VZW for 2 yrs).<br /><br />Battery is very good. Only hardcore users with continuous BT, WIFI and media usage might have to charge it every day.<br /><br />Browser is good.. flash is missing I guess but overall it does a good job. Other features such as Camera (pics look very good), email, IM, texting, overall Set up etc are up to mark.<br /><br />Also I'm a first time BB user and its not really big learning curve.. its fairly simple to use.. you only learn a few shortcuts over time.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />Be wary of the ringer.. sometimes u get a call but the phone doesn't ring or vibrate. I was late for an appointment like that.. alarm was on but there was no sound. Later I found out that it is in fact a problem with BB8900. Not a recurring one.. haven't had that problem again.<br /><br />My main issue is with the vibrate profile... it is very very weak and it only vibrates 3 times with the original firmware. One can download a software to remove that limitation but the vibrate would still be very weak.<br /><br />There is no external button to switch profiles between loud, vibe, silent etc... although # or Q key allows switch between just loud and vibrate.<br /><br />Speakerphone has some distortion when on high volume setting -- problem only while driving.<br /><br />3G is missing but its not that bad.. I don't miss it.<br /><br />Other minor issues include Camera lag, lag when you click on media icon, SD card slot is annoying.<br /><br />Overall I think the pros easily outnumber the cons. I love the phone and I would definitely recommend it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=34326#review34326 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1890&r=34326#review34326 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:54:36 GMT <p><i>looch_himself submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8900:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have so much fun with this phone!

I drop calls in my bedroom all the time. In the many years I have lived here I have never, until now, dropped calls. I am usually running on 3 out of 5 bars. I am in the Seattle area where the signal is usually great. <br /><br />As soon as I can I will be getting a different phone just for this reason. Its very annoying..</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1890
