I was recently offered a BlackBerry Bold, but the offer fell through. Should I look for another BlackBerry Bold, or should I be looking for the BlackBerry 8900?
I do not like the iPhone, and this is what I am trading away to get one of those two BlackBerrys.
Though I am stuck between going for a Bold, or an 8900.
PROS of the BlackBerry 8900
Smaller Formfactor
Newer device
Fits easily into a shirt pocket
Future-proofed for a bit.
Worth well more than the iPhone 1st Generation
CONS of the BlackBerry 8900
Feels lesser quality than the Bold
Lower quality screen than the Bold
Lower-end device than the Bold
PROS of the BlackBerry Bold 9000
Has 3G
Nicer Keyboard
Nicer Screen
Higher End Phone
Better Build quality than the 8900
CONS of the BlackBerry Bold 9000
Larger than the 8900
3G won't work with T-Mobile
No direct MyFaves Access
More fragile than 8900
"pleather" backplate
I am stuck between the two, I use T-Mobile, and plan on switching from the smartphone PDA Internet at $24.00 to the BIS @ 24.99. What should I do?
correction on the OP. The 8900 has a higher resolution at 480x360 compare to the Bolds 480x320 but the Bold has a bigger screen which I think is a major plus.
I like my Bold, but both are solid. If you make a lot of voice calls, I would get the 8900 for UMA. I type far more than I talk, so I got the Bold for 3G.
Personally I like the 8900 a lot better. Yes the Bold has some features that we all would love but it is soo much bigger and heavier than the 8900. When I played with it I felt like I had my old Treo again.. NOT convinced.
" I use T-Mobile, " -from the OP so no 3G. But, there is a good thread on how to get everything else or at least as much as possible working on TMO. Search for it and enjoy your Bold!

you helped me make my decision thank you imma go with the bold since i text way more and never really do voice call and i know this is rare but i actually like big phones lol i love heavy phone i dont know why but with this i think the bold would be perfect for me = )
I would love a Bold. I also like a bigger phone. I am currently using the 8900. I wish that the bold came to TMo. I guess I'm gonna wait for this driftwood

I don't get this either...folks act like the Bold is a TV set, or something. Why? I don't like really small phones, so if you really want a tiny phone, get a Pearl.
