Default Is it just me or is the 9000

Just not that interesting?
Anybody else out there that doesn't care much for it?

I have an 8830 and have a curve on the way and I don't see what the craze is about...

I'm speaking more of the hardware. I'm always up for software improvement. Especially with calendar and task functions.

Some of us are just geeks and cant wait to get our hands on the newest and most updated toys. The selling point to me is that everything included in a new OS is already pre-installed on the 9000. More importantly, you cant beat WiFi, 3G, and GPS...

I've stuck with my pearl since I got it in November of 06 (so not long after it was released), fought off all sorts of desires to get a curve. So I think I've earned the right to get the 9000 as soon as it shows up. Salivating over here.

I want the OS and I'd love a hi-res screen, but until they come out with a pearl-size version I'm going to have to pass.

The hardware is actually the most exciting part. Double the processor speed, larger, higher res screen, hopfully a lot more onboard memory and 3G (which means high speed data and a phone that will roam the world). Oh yeah, guess I am a little excited.....

Its not that I dont care for it; I'm just tired of hearing about it. I just got my Pearl a week ago and I'm being hit with too much too soon- Pearl, Curve, 9000. I guess since BB is so new to me, I'm finding moments of overwhelmness (I know it's not a word).

Added to the fact that I change my phones...OFTEN! Too many choices.

If there wasn't any 3g, it would be a hyped up T-Mobile curve with a built in gps puck.

With 3g, wifi, gps, processor as good as my first PC, memory increase (anything better than what we've been using), definitely has me looking to purchasing, but just the BB logo, is enough to make me purchase every time.

I'll probably wait and get a curve. I'm with us cellular and seeing how long it took them to come out with it in cdma it'll probably be another year for a cdma 9000 to be released.

At least a year, I'm sure. We'll have to see how long the carriers drag their feet. It'll be great when Verizon switches to LTE and then maybe there will be better selection.

I say no for me on the 9000. But, I've said that with every BB and each time a new one is in front of me, I buy. I just can't help myself.

Same here, but I will agree, the design doesn't do much for me either, but as long as the software delivers, I will be satisfied.
