How many 8900 users are switching

**kenlundy17** · 03-10-2009, 08:10 PM

how many of you guys are going to switch from the 8900 to this beauty?

**aerophage** · 03-10-2009, 08:12 PM

I'm going with none unless they switch carriers.

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

**Aither** · 03-10-2009, 09:37 PM

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.

**leo1037** · 03-11-2009, 11:16 AM

No thanks... The 8900 has all I need and dont feel its worth it to switch to VZW. Plus, Wifi is a must for me now...

**CSI Guy** · 03-11-2009, 04:42 PM

I am all over this phone. Will get it on day 1. Using Curve now and formally Storm user.

Roger that. WiFi is a must.

**aseretis@verizon.net** · 03-12-2009, 12:59 AM

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.

**WhiteGold** · 03-12-2009, 02:27 AM

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.

**pkcable** · 03-12-2009, 11:40 AM

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.

**blackmannx** · 03-12-2009, 11:56 AM

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.

**Casper TFG** · 03-13-2009, 06:37 PM

I could go for a slightly wider keyboard..

+ wifi

So - yes

**LifeOfVice** · 03-14-2009, 06:56 PM

Nope. My 8900 is godly.

Since I am with T-Mobile, the 8900 would be the obvious choice.

I love the small form factor and wifi on the 8900 but I also love the 3g and keyboard type of the 9630. To sum it up, the only big difference would be the 3g (since both keyboards are great), and I feel that the 3g and wifi cancel each other out.

To be quite honest, I don't really see many 8900 users making the switch. Great device coming out for Verizon/Sprint though.

**trinxified** · 03-18-2009, 09:39 AM

Agreed. Why would 8900 users switch to the 9630? That's just plainly wasteful because the 8900 is already a GREAT device, if not even better because of the keyboard style. I was able to try it on Rogers, and it was godly. Returned it and backed out of contract after a few days, because I had a better deal with Telus.

The 9630 is definitely the answer to the woes of the disappointed Storm users, and to the old Curve users who want/need an upgrade.

For me, I think I'll wait for the "assumed and upcoming" 8930. I really like the Curve-style keyboard and I don't need a world edition device.

First, no thanks on the keyboard, never liked the 88XX/Bold style keyboard. Second, CDMA, no thanks! I will still be getting my 8900!

**bergman22** · 03-18-2009, 09:56 AM

The 9530 is an awesome phone. Nothing to complain about yet except for Verizon forcing you to buy a data plan to have it since there is no wifi.

Agreed to. Coming from Verizon Storm,I switched to the 8900,T-Mobile.I love the Wi-Fi and the phone.
As far as the new 9630 looks like a great improvment for Verizon/Blackberry line up it is.I can see the curve and storm people upgrading to it.I am staying right where I am 8900.IMO best blackberry out overall period!

**UncleSmurf** · 03-19-2009, 10:53 AM

depends for me. I've been having issues with T-mobile a lot recently, Im former verizon. I did unlock my 8900 and so I may try ATT to see how their service compares too. 8900 is nice and small, 3g is not a big deal, wifi is nice but the 9630... that keyboard and 3g..mmmm drool
