Very sleek design and absolutely brilliant display. I was informed the 3g support is poor and the browser lacks speed. That is definitely something that T-Mobile will need to work on.

@amyers – I currently have v4.6.1.114 on Platform (4.2.0.76). Do I understand your post (and John Ha’s reply) to suggest that v4.6.1.133 is out but not yet available via T-Mobile or automatic updating? Battery life isn’t so much an issue for me, but rather the reception over GRPS when EDGE isn’t available (like at my house). My 8320 used to hold 3 to 4 bars, but my 8900 gets 1 to 2 at the most and I’m in what T-Mobile claims is a “Good” service area. Thanks, Robert.

I forgot to mention. I plan on abusing the Wifi! When I’m at work, at home or at the parents I have Wifi so that’s when I’ll make all my calls and will try not to pick up calls when on the road (unless they are on my fav 5!). This way I can get a plan with much less minutes. I am going to get the new bb pearl and bb flip for my other family members because all can make calls over wifi. And I believe I can get them for free from Walmart. Right now we’re paying like $245 with Verizon for 2,000 mins – 4 phones, 2 bbs with data plans. My goal is to get the bill down to $180. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the review. Contact is ending in a few days and I’m switching to Tmobile from Verizon (trying to save money; global recession). I am going to get this. i hate the newer BB windows apps though. I also dread having to do OS upgrades. I’m too lazy (and too busy) to figure out where to get the latest files from. I don’t have time for that. I wonder if they will handle upgrades through their app store. I can’t imagine using this for music and movies, will stick to the Itouch for that. I just want HTML E-mails! Also where is the best deal to pick one up? Walmart?

Thanks John, that’s what I’m hearing. Think I’ll re-up with T-Mobile and try the 8900, and maybe get an iPod Touch a bit later…

Aaron, thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. I upgraded to OS .133 last night and it’s running like a champ. I’ll need a few more days to comment on overall battery life improvement (if any), but it seems to be a bit more efficient.

The iPhone is magic. But it is just not conducive to heavy typing of emails – it makes you wait until you can get to a real keyboard to type something. I think an iPhone with a BB8900/9000 is the perfect combination for now if you can afford two phones at once.

OTOH, the BB 8700 had the best reception of any cell phone I’ve ever had, ‘berry or otherwise.

Yeah, you can get a 90 degree angled adapter from Motorola which helps with this problem. I much prefer the older spot in the upper-left.
