My 8900 was great while it lasted. Had sooooo many trackball problems, white screens of death, randomly losing sound, random restarts  .
It was a tank though. I've dropped that phone many times on concrete and just about everywhere. The battery door would come flying off along with the battery. It has a few knicks and scratches but it still works!
The camera was awesome though!!! 
I love my 9930  but I do miss being able to customize the colors and layouts with different themes. OS 7 themes need to hurry up!!!

Same here!
I have been a 8900 user from the first day it was available.
Now, thats about over 3years from now.
While using, some times I loved it and sometimes I hated it, when it came do web browsing and reboot.
But it was always there and I never had serious problems with it.
In September I switched to the Bold 9900.
It was my dream bb since I have seen the first pics of it early this year.
Now I got it and I still look back to my 8900 - sometimes I still switch my SIM card.
I mean the new 9900 is a great device, but there are important things I`m missing, like:
- great batterylife of the 8900
- and the great camera - the 8900 was the best camera I have ever use from a smartphone!
Those 2 things really suck on the 9900!
I also had problems with my trackball, but replacement was almost as easy as a battery pull!
I also still love OS 5.
Itīs great! I love how it looks and how itīs made up!
All in all the 9900 is an awesome device, but my heart still beats for the 8900!

| |  el- classico !
the BB Curve 8900 is bay far the most classy phone, i had tried in some last three years or so !!
agree with most of the people in the forum, about the distant features of 8900, the camera, voice quality, key board and overall interface to name a few.
no un-usual hiccup in usage as well !
over all- i am definitely in Lurveeee with my BB 8900
cheeeeeRs !

I still use my 8900 every now and then, it's out lasted any phone I've ever owned and is still a work horse. I definitely agree on the camera...it takes better pics than my 9800 did, and better than most other phones I've had..I usually sell my phones when I get upgrades, but I just can't seem to part with my trusty 8900 lol

i agree it was a great phone when it launched in the past.but its past its prime now.the new curve 9360 just does everything better than the 8900.it has taken the curve series to new heights.but if you are an old phone fan then you can't go wrong in purchasing the 8900.but as they say once you are married,you don't get to flirt with other women.its a lifetime settlement.but with phones,people change their minds continuously.their never satisfied.and beyond that they argue that some phones suck.so many aliens in this day in age.

I miss mine, shouldn't have sold it, well neither of them [had 3 or 4 i flipped]... now its a to find one for sale [not spending more than 50$ for it...] Until then iPhone4 has to do!
I've had my fair share of BB's & other platforms, this one was the best! And took a beating.

Yeah, I don't regret having waited, though I have used a few other RIM phones since I got my 8900. I may possibly seek a 9700 or a 9900, but I'll never upgrade via contract.

Loving my phone too. All my other friends with BB's say that mine takes the best pics! My only complaint on that is that it's slow to take the pic itself and it's even worse with the flash. The flash goes really bring for about 2 seconds then takes the pic. Can't seem to change that. No red eye I guess.
The keyboard is the best I have tried as I have big hands.
The ball, I guess we've all had issues with the ball getting jambed.
Yup, 2G is slow but it works well when I can snag a wifi signal.
I have debated looking at other brands of phones because of the "cool" features but the one thing that keeps me with BB is the BB messenger. Love being able to keep in contact with my friend in another province for "free"!
So if they made this phone a ball-less model, I'd snap it up otherwise I'm sticking with it!

Was using 9000 for a year and then switched to the 8900 for the past year and a half. Hands down, the best bb(and possibly phone) I have ever used. The 9700 comes close.
Looking to replace the phone and was thinking of the 9780 but what have you 8900 users switched to and been satisfied?

Bump, 8900 still running like a charm. One of the most reliable BB's I've owned, and I've owned a lot!
