    Melissa wants this. She loves her originally T-Mobile Curve but is ready for something new. This seems like a good compromise - newer edition same experience she's familiar with.


    "The lack of 3G (sorry once you're used to it you can't go back)"


    I don't know I was 3G (Sprint 6700 Blackjack Palm 750) before dropping down to EDGE on a first gen iPhone. Most of the time it's good enough. And the WiFi at home or in hotels picks up the slack.

    I think its a bit bigger than the older Curve I think mine is a 8190 or 8120? The only issue I have with it is size. Curve's rock!!

    wow.. just wow.. forget the new BB, the review of John Mayer is what strikes me..


    "The screen is delicious and not just because a video of John Mayer is preloaded on it, one thing RIM's been getting very right (the screen, not John Mayer, though that is also very right)."


    . Colors pop like John Mayer's lyrics, contrast is contrasty and the 480x360 resolution is fantastic, with a nice, wide viewing angle. The screen's still too small to watch anything longer than a music video-starring ,say, John Mayer-but it'll look pretty good while it's rolling."


    Congratulations on your 2009 Brokeback Award :D

    So... I have a question.


    How come there are two different keyboards pictured? You seem to be reviewing Curve with black background buttons that has red/maroon digits, however some pictures show a Curve with white and black digits.


    What gives?

    @thanq: One's the T-Mobile Curve (the one I'm talking about here) but for convenience I embedded the gallery from our holder hands on with the AT&T Curve 8900 because it gives a good sense of size.

    God, how depressing for T-Mobile customers. How does t-mobile think their data pricing is worth it for a non-3G blackberry? I'm still waiting for one bearable 3G device from T-Mobile. Ugh, I'm pissed.

    @dnyyanks62: Why? EDGE still gives me about 200kbps down. I do not think its a deal breaker, I tether my phone all the time and yes I have a work verizon curve so I have done the comparison.


    just my 2c

    @zimstyles: plus, the browsing experience on blackberrys sucks anyways, leaving you browsing "specially formatted" (aka wap sites) versions anyways that download just fine over edge.


    until blackberry releases a real browser, 3g is nigh worthless.

    rogers already has these in canada, as of last week.


    they're pretty cool, a good bit smaller than the bold, of course the lack of 3G is not so great.

    Go Canada. We got the bold first, and now the new curve. I guess RIM has been trying to cut down on shipping costs by shipping close to home.
