so what gonna be the difference between tmobiles blackberry 8900 curve and this new blackberry 8520 curve? which phone is gonna be better to buy? looks like the only difference is between the trackball and the touch pad

[Itanium Shock]

damn i would just want it

for the fast processor

and a legit theme lol

[mixoplex]

I agree... Just release one phone that has

3G
Wifi
UMA
GPS
Average Camera and Megapixel ( not a big deal for me )

Or make a new Storm

Storm 3

Make it thicker to have slide out keyboard and all the stuff above. I dont think people mind it being thicker as alot of people (dudes) holster it..

Women may just have in their purse...or the back pocket when walking then put it in their purse.

Just make it work to have UMA and 3G together.. Sheesh..throw in some extra chips and circuits.

And get that new BB Messenger.. I wanna be able to scan pincodes and back up contacts that be so cool... Especially if you meet a honey you can be like.. Hey whats your pin.. Oh you don know how.. let me scan it in for you.. Done.. problem is the average person my not even upgrade their phone. But be way col for the honeys though..

Think about it...

Looks interesting. A low end blackberry would be great to solve the BB replacement issues while still under contract and unable to upgrade.

I love the dedicated media player buttons. Wish they would put that on higher end models. Wouldn't have to go back to the media player to pause or skip while doing other tasks. It would also be safer when driving. I never use the buttons on top of my Storm anyway.

i have a big question, do crackberry have 2 different 8520`s????

my reasoning for this is in a pic posted a while back by kevin, with all the blackberrys in the office in a pile, theres 2 8520`s, both have different `back` buttons, the bottom part of the graphic is longer on one than it is on the other (note this new back button is on the storm 2 as well) so my question i guess is is this just a redesign by RIM or is there any tech difference between the 2??

Their is 2x 8520'S and 1X 8530. Keep in mind pre-production models change many times before actual launch. No speculation is needed to know that.

thats a cool phone!!

Interesting device, can't wait to feel the trackpad

[raiderwolf]

The keys suck just like the Curve. Bold wins. Had a Bold with AT&T and liked it way better than my [b][/b][b][/b][b][/b][b][/b]ty Curve. The only reason I live with the Curve is because it's what Sprint had at the time when I switched and Sprint's service offers me a lot more for a lot less money.

not as impressive as i was hoping for but still looks interesting...may have to see if i can play with one sometime...
the touchpad looks neat

[fullmz]

I'm still not too sure how this optical pad is going to go

I'm not impressed with this Blackberry at all. I could be wrong about the Trackpad, so i'm not really basing this off of the trackpad, but i wouldn't give up my 8330 the way this one is looking.
