It’s officially been out for only a day, but some of my friends have been gushing over and using the new BlackBerry Curve 8900 for over a week now (T-Mobile loophole) and I now fully understand their excitement. In some ways this is the better, cheaper option to the Bold–so long as you can forgo the availability of 3G access–because it’s got a screen just as sharp (some say sharper, but I really didn’t notice), an identical BB OS, the same keyboard layout, and a far superior camera.
I mean, there’s obviously better cameras out there, and maybe I’ve just been around too many terrible cameraphones, but I was really impressed by the quality coming out of the camera on the Curve 8900. Other than that, everything was pretty much the same as the Bold which I think is pretty fantastic. If you’re out of contract and already looking to switch to T-Mobile, you can get the BlackBerry Curve 8900 at Amazon.com
I know what smartphone I’ll be recommending to people in the next few months!
