Haha. I can't wait for this beauty to hit VZ. I'll be upgrading from my curve 8330 right away.

Seriously I don't know what to think anymore. It looks beautiful and I guess it is my only option as far as being on vzw, but so much different info on this phone. Seriously, i hear from one person the phone will have less features than the bold?


*Edit* Sorry for the meaningless rant.

the curve has decent memory and can fit almost everything the average person wants. Speed can be a bit improved but in all honesty, my curve is just fine. Only major gripes I have is locked aGPS and wifi. And from the looks of it, this new blackberry is going down the same road as the current curve. I'm not supporting a product of this form if this is the end result

You should add a poll to this. But I don't think many will switch since most 8900 users would need to get an unlocked Niagara and/or change providers. Some may thou.

I really want this phone. I'm quite disappointed with the Storm because of the typing. Otherwise the Storm will be a great phone when the OS is squared away. I'm trying to hold myself back from buying an 8330 or an 8830 and just wait.

I'm going to buy a 8330 so I will have both the storm and the curve . I would get the Viagra but I already used my upgrade on getting the storm and I don't want to pay the full price for the Viagra

this phone looks cool but i am waiting for the 9900 pluto, the touchscreen bold. i have gotten hooked with touch screen after the storm and would love to have a device with both. UNLESS they do a storm 2 w/ slider kb, i would get that definetly. i just want the hard keyboard to slide open when i need to bust out the longer emails quickly.

It is STILL not know wether or not this phone will have wifi. Prototype tester units DID, but none of the reported specs for the phone mention wifi. We shall see.

There are a couple of tester unit builds floating around and some of them have WI-FI others do not.

I like the form factor of the 8900 with a keyboard but having used a test unit I can say that I will be sticking to my storm. I am a media junkie so I need the larger screen.
