Had all of fond memories with this phone. Held on to it for almost 3 years. Then changes to bold 8760, now I'm using a very good Lumia windows phone. Blackberry devices are now struggling in the market. I feel sorry for them.

  • Just turning on d Wi-Fi icon without finding a Wi-Fi hot spot to hook on( like airports,cafe shops) won't make your Wi-fi active. You need to find a hotspot & if u don't hav one near u, just request a Wi-Fi subscription from your service provider.

  • Have you got a blackberry contract ? Because I have the 8900 aswell my Internet isn't working. I need to get a blackberry contract as I am still on O2. Apparently any blackberry apps will not work properly unless you have blackberry contract. Or, have you got the credit to use the Internet? Or have you got Internet access linked to your phone? Mines linked, but it doesn't work just yet. I need the bb contract.

  • I would say Blackberry is the BEST. I bought my Curve 8900 in September 2009 (my first BB ever). 2 and a half years later I still consider it the BEST phone I ever bought. It's been in the rain, fell off a moving car, been on offshore fishing trips (plotted the spot where i caught my first sail fish thx to its GPS) , basically falls on the ground daily. Usually keep in on my lap while driving, 50% of the time when i get out, it lands on the road....and its STILL working. Great pics, great videos, excellent MP3 player, wi-fi quite fast...what more can I say. Thank you blackberry :))

  • i hate BB

  • change your set

  • I've got 48mb free memory, don't have any huge apps on the phone and if I leave bbm open then after a while it freezes and gives that weird peer thing. Browser is always open, but clear the history each day. So I don't know, gonna burn this small cpu now with huge apps to see what it does.

  • You have to do is check the free memory, if it still remains more than 15MB then you should not have bbm connectivity problems. Blackberry is very dependent with enough free memory to perform activities of internet and bbm. If you're still left a lot of memory then you should upgrade bbm with the newer version

  • Hi all. My bbm is making shit, when ever i chat to long the bbm app freezes and says something about bbm peer... WTF can be the prob???

  • i have a black berry phone 8900 but i'm disappointed by the way it 'hangs' whenever i open some features especially the media gallery for photos or music. i hardly use it to take picture neither can i view those that i had taken earlier. Can not as well access my ring tones as it hangs and 'refuses'to function till i remove the battery for several times. advice!

  • I M In Kuwait. I Have Wifi Connection At My Home. I Need To Use Wi Fi With My Black Berry 8900. I M Able To Connect Wifi On My BB 8900, But Can Not Use Or Browse Web Pages. It Shows My Wi Fi Device Name In Connection. I Need To Use Yahoo Messanger With Wi Fi On BB. Kindly Advise.

  • Hye all�im planning to buy blackberry qwerty but I don�t know to choose between bold 9000 or Javelin 8900�.currently using bb pearl 8220 flip now�somebody have suggestions???

  • Hye all�im planning to buy blackberry qwerty but I don�t know to choose between bold 9000 or Javelin 8900�.currently using bb pearl 8220 flip now�somebody have suggestions???

  • To the two guys deciding which to choose...I use both 8520 and 8900, both extensively. My old 8900 is a work horse for my business, the 8520 is more for leisure. Both are good, read up all the specs and if the 8520 does all you want then go that way. The 8900 I love it but the now well outdated track ball can too easily stick with grit getting under it - a frustrating and common problem that needs a technician to clean it. The 8520 track pad is far better, an absolute pleasure to use, so unless you need your cell as a business work horse go for the 8520. I'm waiting to try the 9900.

The phone is coded on ORANGE. How to set it NOT to put FR prefix by default ? Or mby if i unlock it (to work with any SIM) ? Also i'd like to know why BT is so complicated, couldn't send a file from a X10 mini. Visibility is on and phones are paired but no pop up screen to ask for confirmation. Thanks in advance.

I thought i can just connect to any free wifi spot. how can i connect to free wifi spot without entering this blackberry generated PIN?

  • The 8900 has given me endless trouble. The phone works very slowly and often restarts all on it's own. I was told updating the software would sort it out, my phone is on v4.7, but it does not want to upgrade to 5.0. I have tried on numeral computers and it fails every time at about 90%. Must say i am not impressed with the phone and thinking it's a good idea to stay away from the manufactuar.

  • hi........this is ratan i would like to mention one thing on blackberry , blackberry on of the top brand in mobile market i realy love blackberry mobiles ,blackberry mobile since 2010 blackeberry compant has been launched one best feuture mobile it's a "blackberry curve 8520 this mobile have a fabeulouse feuture that it sorry i don't have words to say on this

  • blackberry is a smart mobile easy to use but little bit heavy in weight

  • I cant access my internet in my curve.i got only HOTSPOT BROWSER in Browser Configuration .how can config this?

  • cool phone far more better than nokia

  • I've switched to BlackBerry after years with Nokia. Curve 8900 is not a perfect but I do like it and feel satisfied. It took me a while to learn all the tricks and find the right software that was not included by default. For some reason, it had no Notebook and Tasks by default like in Nokia phones. Still, I found plenty of freeware available to cover all your needs and wants. Another disappointment was a simplistic desktop application which gives you no live control over the device. It feels like folks at RIM never tried Nokia PC Suite which allows nearly complete live control over the telephone including working with text manager, address book, software installation, etc. No Skype available if you are not in the US and signed up with Verizon. Only ugly universal messengers that really suck. I guess the main strength of BB phones is in being communication devices. Once you have an unlimited internet and text plan, this is a nearly perfect communicator. Can't forgive RIM no Skype... Otherwise, a great phone!

  • i have black berry 8900, the speaker got burst & i cant hear the voice clearly, but the phone is awesome anyways

  • i have my blackberry curve 8900 now for 3 years and i never had a problem until friday i couldnt come into my messages i had the problem solved in 5 minutes further i had never so,etihing i is fallen from 12meters and its still working perfect

  • go to the speaker icom on the home screen and choose quiet or vibrate

  • I've got a 8900 at the moment and i'm at the end of my contract (FINALLY!!) had 4 8900's in 23months and the last one is starting to pack up too.... dont know what theyve done wrong cos my track balls had to be replaced,applications just start disappearing its terribly slow and just switches on and off as it feels. At this moment im stuck as too which phone to get now because if this is what bb are about i dont want one!

  • I can say that this phone is really amazing and fab, i just bought one from Europe. Everything is perfect except for one biggest problem that i am experiencing with it. After just a couple of weeks, the keypad letter 'M' starts to stuck even when I'm not pressing it. So that's why i didn't use it for a couple of months. I still give it a shot, i removed my sim card and turned it on again and voila, it is working. Since i am here in the Phils. and we don't have blackberry support here, i don't know what's wrong with it. 8/10

  • I just bought a new one through ebay. The software not very user friendly. So I started using my old Toshiba Portege G710 which is a very luxury and fantastic one but a bit slower. even then it is better.

  • Yes! Thank you!

  • I just bought my curve what are the best applications on it for fun

  • It might have prblms bt what i have experienced the ball is real good and dont get damaged that easily caz i drop my mobile very often and so far no prblm bt a dust of particle might makes it a bit hard to operate bt roll it few times and it will get soft.

  • i think it's a really kool phone just that the track can get dirty and it gets a bit harder to apporate over time

  • The Curve 8900 is a fantastic device with superb picture & video quality. However, somewhere along the line, either due to a software upgrade alert or third party security application, the device can freeze up/hang with virtually ireversible consequences. It can lock itself for some strange reason & this is tragic if the device is not backed up regularly. The 12 month warranty period is useful for obtaining a brand new replacement rom the authorised distributor or cellular service provider but this does not help the user overcome the inconvenience of not being able to unlock the device. A great device but perhaps here re watermarked units in the market. :-)

Nokia is also good I should admit but when it comes to functionality, number of shortcuts and ease of messaging and no-nonsense style of menus I feel suit me much better than E72. I dont see myself going back to Nokias soon again though I have been a nokia Fan all these years.

  • Hello all, I have had this phone for 3 months and I couldn't praise it enough..... until now....today it has gone into complete meltdown, without being touched it keeps asking me if I should assign a speed dial to the P key... if I try to type a message it appears on it's own in gobble-de-gook (such as @@@@@@@****>:{@~{) the trackball seems ok until the speed dial message appears then doesn't work... when trying to enter a password in caps it doesn't accept the caps!!! Sometimes the battery flattens after it has been charged ..There is no explanation for these problems.., it is always in a case except when being used, it has no damage whatsoever!I have turned the phone on and off and removed the battery numerous times and still won't sort it out. I'm very disappointed as I saved hard for this phone and expected alot more for my money. :-(

  • hi, has any one else had a problem where after a while the trackball doesnt want to scroll down, i had this problem after a year with my previous 8900, i had it exchanged for a new 8900 but 7 months later the same problem...what do i do now?...take it in again!!!

  • i love my old/new phone :)

  • hi all i think the 8900 curve is a really nice and easy to use phone.i think people find it hard to understand the phone.ive never had problems with my curve. things that affect the capability of the phone are downloading mxit's that are not compatable for the phone eg:freezing of phone,calls not coming threw,sms not coming threw etc. if you really want mxit dowload the one suited or offered for the phone and try not to averload the phone with games ,music,emails etc that affects the phones capabilities aswell. other than that awesome phone.

  • i never seen dis type of faltu mobile phone.

  • when i watch videos in my phone, my phone hangs....

  • This is a very nice phone (B/Berry 8900) my previous handset was a nokia N95. Now that I know how this bb is working, I miss my nokia, not that this one gives any problems. Me as a dj that used to rig up my n95 to te @ Sound system and projector, can no longer do this. Also I miss the equaliser that n95 have onto their music player wich was fully customizable(not the bb). Thet I miss the internet radio software thet comes with it. There is alternative internet radio avaliable for this phone, but it must first be downloaded, and only a few is free, the rest you have to buy. Also bb comes with no radio receiver, wich is cool to have, for when you wanna listern to some live broadcastings of your fafourate sparts game, when no radio or tv is around...

  • how did u activate your gprs?? my phone only shows gprs, not GPRS.. tnx..=p

Because now i it says that the BB 8900 doesn't have 3G, but what good is a phone that isn't 3G?! Can it go on the internet for free or not like a 3G phone would?

  • just an hour ago, when i was in the market, i tried again if my blackberry can connect to a wifi network..i scanned for network and i found one, under its name, was the word "open"..i tried to connect, and it was a success, i was able to browse my fb acct for few minutes..=p.. maybe it just depends on the wifi network..if it is open to all, one can avail the wifi freely..other networks may require subscription... at least i know my bb has sense...=p ill just have to discover how can i connect with our own internet..

  • Same problem tracy!! i think that it only works with a black berry internet service. =/

  • nice phone but i cant connect to the internet via wifi.. my wifi is on but is not connected..it says here in my phone that the reason why i was unable to connect is that it FAILED TO AUTHENTICATE AGAINST THE NETWORK.. i have found out here in my phone that if the bb device is associated with an email account that uses a blackberry enterrise server, youy organization might prevent you from connecting to a wifi network....honestly i dont get this...if this is the real reason why i cant connect, is there a remedy??.. please help me here.. my blackberry is nothing if i cant do free internet (via wifi)...thank you so much...

  • since the bb 8900 has been discontinued , between the 9300curve3g and the 8900 javelin , which is a better phone

  • some themes contain viruses thats why it happens... blackberry's own theme is best. just change wallpapers.. or create own themes from blackberry's theme studio. na.blackberry.com/eng/services/themestudio/

  • How can i get to the configuration

  • it hasnt i live in south africa and bought one today

  • Great phone! Survived a drop into water. never hangs. Pity about the slow modem (and sometimes lags the device when downloading large web pages) Else, perfect for my business comms and diary needs.

  • This phone is no longer available (in South Africa, at least) as it has apparently been discontinued.

  • can any body tell me how i can factory reset my blackberry 8900.

  • this was an exellent phone ever..... especially if you upgraded the software to 5.0...

  • 9700 BOLD

  • lovin the blackberry :)

  • Spec posted here says "Image stabilization" on camera but i didn't find such option, only geotagging is available.

  • love the design and you just need to bring one with the touch pad

  • Just switched fr storm 9500 to 8900. I got rid of the weight and size as 8900 is slim and weigh much lesser. Excellent size and appearance. Typing with storm 9500 sucks coz it cant support my speed of typing as u need to press the screen down. Lots of typing error too coz yr thumbs are blocking the letters. Of course if you type slow and steadily then it's alright. 8900 doesnt have 3G but it doesnt bother me coz i set to 2G as well when i was on storm coz the 3G network coverage here is not stable. So no point using it coz it sucks battery. 8900 keypad is quite good. Just upgraded to os 5.0 and it's more responsive now especially the trackball, unlike the sluggish 4.6. A good buy, value for money.

  • no its not-its a much faster browsing-think its HSPDA

  • plz tell me how to use wi fi on this set 8900

  • Its a good phone but you have to go through a whole lot of crap just to use the Wi-Fi feature, browser and being able to download from the apps world.

  • Very short talk time on battery, I have to charge it twice in a day...problem of locking up on keypads when you use the phone on calls on long durations (on my experience at 30 mins to 1 hour)...all other features though are good..

  • its battery time is so less i have used it.otherwise its fine.

  • clearly mentioned there is no 3g

  • bro.every thing is fit now.only problem is that no play an video whn i used internet via wifi ,wht can i do ?

  • Hi, Just wondering if Software V6 is now available. I must admit, I have v5.0.861 installed and my battery life has improved a bit. I wonder what the next software version can do. thanks.

  • Is it 3G enabled or not

  • In my bb 8900.not playing media player and youtube ,whn iused tha net.what can I do ?

  • It has no general options like marking etc. The internet problems are also there . Its track bal hve also gt drtrbd, Totally it is horrible.

  • bb is the best brand! i love this phone! m buying this phone for the third time :) i lv the design, features and everythng.. its a class! :)

  • Why is there no FM radio availible on this phone? Is it possible to download FM radio or not?

  • no 3g. low cpu. sucking battery. wat a weird fone

  • what do you think about this phone ? it's a good phone,, or bad phone,,? please give me some informtion.., thank you.

  • I used to own a 8700G and a curve 8310 then went over to iPhone but after some years I went back to the blackBerry, although was considering the HTC but it seemed to much like the apple, so the conclusion is that BlackBerry make the best practical and reliable phone period. The 8900 curve or the 9700 Bold

  • completely rubbish give me your card number and pin so i can get you a sik phone leave your adrrees if you want.

  • rubbish phone i advise anyone that is even thinking of buying it NOT TO

  • not good bad phone

  • Cool phone! Except for the battery it drains quite fast if I use wifi often. But in general features are alright. Nimbuzz works even without a data plan, you'd be using wifi with it.

  • there must be a connection between your device and the other device by searching on that device first. 1. Set-up bluetooth 2. Search After pairing, your phone can now recognize that other device.

  • Here I m 2 inform all ma bb user frnds dat if u people have any problem in dis handset then u can visit blackberry handset........here I m writting this comment because I got a new handset frm blacbery in replacement of ma old hanset...........before dis I was using nokia samsung nd sony ericssion bt I haven't seen dis type of frequent servicing Ma hanset was almost 11 nd a half month old bt suprisingly they had replacced ma handst ...........so I would like 2 tel all of u dat if u have bb den feel pro be a bb boy......

  • Dear Prashanth,upgrade your OS to Version 5(5.0.0.681),battery life will improve morethan double.

  • Log on to BB web site and plug the usb cable in the phone and PC click on downloads andchoose your version that you want to upgrade to

  • I am not happy with battery life the battery goes down very fast.

  • Hi guys. Had this phone for a while and i must say i'm pretty dissapointed. I heard the battery was very good ( I think that 1400 is the biggest battery on the market ) but it is not. After an hour or so of wifi browsing, 3 lines of battery dissapear, leaving you with little over half of capacity. i think that's quite unacceptable. i used nokia e63 for hours, literally, and it barely consumed 2 lines. also the colours are let's say acceptable in menues, but while using apps it is clear that 65k colors is quite oldish and the fonts are quite crappy. also, it's blackberry os. not so many popular apps on that.

  • heyy fellows i have now the LG arena KM900 and im thinking to exchange it with this phone what do u think if i wanted to sell the KM900 can i afford having this BB 8900?? thx for answering me ...regards

  • Hi! How about the lock/unlock key? Does it work great or have some problems?

  • I have had this phone for a year and run 18 of them in our company, a few of us had annoying software hangups and sluggish performance with operating system version 4.6.1.168 however I have now upgraded the operating system to 5.0.0.509 Its the best thing I ever did The phone has a whole new feel to it a absolutely no further problems . I recommend the upgrade its well worth it. I did it myself by watching how to videos on youtube and downloading the latest OS Well done blackberry this new OS is fantastic

  • Try to go to the Blackberry shop they can fix that for you.

  • can anyone help me please coz my ball sensor is jammed.where can i go to have this fixed here in the philippines?...

  • it actually depends where you buy

  • One thing that liberates is the right to freedom of choice. With this unit you have wifi built in. Several features can be used with this free wifi. BUT!!!! IF you are like my company, tied to Skype as well as Voipcheap, STAY AWAY.... Shame actually. BUT I NEED to have access to Skype at least. And VOipcheap at best. So I have to sadly bid an adio to the BB clan.. Skype seems to be closed to BB. Or Vice-versa.... Sad.

  • YOu have to position yourself in the folder where you want the file to be saved. For example, if it's a picture, set your self in the pictures folder or subfolder in in the picture folder, press the menu, select receive using bluetooth.

  • you got to love this phone hey fantastic little number, wow

I would also like to know if there is any way to password protect the contents in the memory card? It willbe higly apprecited if the experts out here can give suggestion/opinion...pls

  • BLOODY LOVE ITTTTT! if it ever dies, i will get it again!

  • I respect your own opinion, but not your language. There only talked about BB8520 built-plastic-quality&display poor performance comparing to BB9700 & BB8900 and over-priced topic applicable only in India,where the price for BB8900 is Rs.18K and BB9700 is Rs.28-29K, means over 56% more price, the difference between both is mainly&practically TrackPAD and 3G network. In India 3G network is far away, after all 3G data charges are very high and more over high-speed premium 3G data on BlackBerry devices are ONLY usefull when we use it as a modem to connect our computer(s), but email pushing and web browsing on 3G and EDGE of networks are SAME in BlackBerry handsets. I have compared in India as well as abroad. In India presently BSNL&MTNL carriers only provide 3G in some places. Anyway, God Bless You. You too have a mother. Peace! May God forgive you.

  • Vishal To receive files via Bluetooth, You need to go into "Media" and then select the option "Receive Using Bluetooth".

  • Nice phone

  • Yes this real the track ball is the only problem of that nice phone I'm using BB since about 11 month and always face problem with the ball it is better to get any new BB with touch pad

  • dude... nokia e63 is no competition to it.

  • Hi Guys, Please can you advise on the Bluetooth function, because I cannot recieve data from other mobiles. Even tough the other phone can detect me, it cannot send to my Blackberry. Another friend of mines also has the same problem. Currently im using a 8900 and she has a 8520. I even tried pairing the devices and still it does not send. HELP PLEASE!!!!

  • BB 8900 is the BEST option. You won't regret after its performance. BB 9700 is over-priced comparing the difference between 8900. And, 8520 is scrap, due to its cheap plastic and poor display. Do not confuse between TrackBALL and TrackPAD. Not a big difference between both of them,while using along,except the thrilling while using the devices at show-room while buying,but in daily life,nothing difference between both of them. Problems in TrackPAD and TrackBALL are equal. All the best friend.

  • Dear friend,i use the both mobiles, BB8900 and Nokia E63. Well,both are excellent devices,but no comparations,bcz both are mean for different gateways. BB8900 is best only if you opt for BlackBerry Data Services from your mobile operator,if not its a simple mobile,you cannot use it's full performance with GPRS or WiFi networks. And, Nokia E63 is an excellent device for GPRS & 3G & WiFi internet services. Also, Nokia Email client works excellent almost equal to BlackBerry Push Mail Service. But, finally, BlackBerry Data Services are unique and secure for Corporate or Self&Business users,its un-comparable with any other service, ofcourse data subscription is bit more expense than normal GPRS&3G&WiFi networks. Now,decide yourself according to your requirements. BOTH DEVICES ARE EXCELLENT RULERS IN THERE THERE PLATFORMS. All the best!

  • Hi All! I am planning to buy blackberry soon. Question is: which one to buy? 1) Blackberry 9700 Bold II 2) B 8900 Curve 3) B 8520 Curve Which one is the most worth of $?? Please advice. Thanks.

  • I totally agree with your statement. I to am a holder of said phone and I absolutly enjoy it and it's features. I must admit, I so far have not experience any problems with my phone(knock on wood). I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a practical and affordable phone. Additionally, this phone has taking over the phone market in my country. In fact all government ministry in Trinidad and Tobago use the Blackberry 8900 as their corporate phone, which is given to their heads of Departments; just thought I'll mention that...well good nighy to all it's time to sleep!

  • Is that truth? Curve 8900 can't. Upgrade to OS 6, cause the memoruse in javelin is 256 mb..

  • Hitesh, you cannot use 98 plan just like any other gprs enabled phone. There are plans especially made available for blackberry. Contact your service provider and request for plans for your smartphone model.

  • can i use iinternet from service provider...like vodafone now is providing internet for 98 rs unlimitesd....thi speed i slow...can i use it on y bb 8900???

  • Yes Sharon, 8900 is capable of viewing and editing MS Office suites (Word, Excel, ppt) and you can view file formats like pdf, jpg, gif and you can extract zip files without any additional softwares need to be installed. 8900 rocks....

  • 8900 Curve media card support is upto 32 GB and not 16 GB. GSM Arena pls update this...

  • so many imitations

  • Does this phone Support data interchange on a 3G network? If yes is it worth to buy a new BB Curve with 2G technology?

  • This is a discontinued model now. Its no longer available as in new. I wanted one.....did alot of looking but ended up with a 8520 now plus there is 8530 it has 3G connectivity which is missing in your BB list.

  • Dear Noman, its true "all blackberries have the feature of being connected to the internet no matter in what part of the world u are" but you must have a data package from your mobile service provider, without data package from your service provider its totally a normal mobile phone. One unique feature which blackberry have is it have one messanger BBM (Black Berry Messanger)by using this messanger you can send and receive any Black Berry user around the world free message, but for this also you need datapackage. Thanks

  • Hi dnesh you are charged because you didn't set it up on Hotspot I think you are using WAP. you have to go to Options and then choose advanced options then press Browser there will be 2 options either Hotspot browser or your network choose the Hotspot Browser. I hope that would help tell me if it works.

  • why do i get charged when i browse the internet using wifi?????

  • hey guys... i am looking forward to buy a blackberry...probably a bold one...anyways i recently heard that all blackberries have the feature of being connected to the internet no matter in what part of the world u are....is this true? urgent reply plz...:)

  • Thanks very much for this valuable information Blackberrian. I think I will go for the Blackberry curve because it looks really very nice and elegant :) but I hope you could help me to find the Radio application as I really will need that just tell me where I can search for it?

  • dont upgrade the device sftware to v 5.0 it has too many bugs keep it at v4.6

  • This is the answer.. 1- Yes..in the BB app world..there a lots of applications there..n im sure u will find what u r looking for.. 2- The main differences between 2G n 3G is only the Data speed..devices which have a 3G signal can upload or download faster than 2G..but it can coasts u a heavy drainage of battery..while 2G is a bit slow than 3G but still can do the jobs well n it can save ur battery more than 3G..In BB,actually it is not 2G..It is actually 2.75G (EDGE)..so,no need worries on that as i also use the curve for quite sometimes..it also loads up very well too..my frenz who r using the BB's 3G devices also normally use the EDGE rather than 3G in order to saves up the battery..

  • I would like to ask 2 questions please: 1- Is there any application which I can download to listen to the Radio on Blackberry curve 8900? 2- what is the difference exactly between 2G and 3G is there is a big difference and what it's benefit? because I know that curve 8900 is 2G so that will be fine?

  • Love it to bits u should make a javelin 2

  • all such phones have small button keypad. e71, 72, and all bberrys. so its a choice. to have internet access and to be able to carry it in your pocket, there is no other way.

  • i had used 8520 and did not like the trackpad. on using a 8900 in a shop, i felt it is more easier and precise. people say trackpad is better, but i think trackball. a ball does all the work - not your finger sliding against a pad. its a personal choice. another thing - i did not find much use for a blackberry. but am interested in "being availble all the time" thing that is the strong point for blackberry.

  • where i can download medical dictionary for free?i have curve 8900

  • THE BEST PFONE good batery good camera good screen good internet

  • U just turn on ur wifi and go to ur browser choose option and browse config and then change internet browse to hotspot browser.

  • this phone is for moffies!

  • i have my blackberry curve 8900 and i don't know how to use internet via wifi.. i had on my wifi but then i don't know how to use the internet.. can i just go trough browser?

  • i think i like this particular blackberry 8900.its cute and beautiful. thats is what am using n i love it.

  • Does it play movies of almost any format(avi,wma,mp4,etc) easily ???

  • I have had an 8900 for approx 4 months. The biggest problem i've found is that the keys are too close together, i find myself constantly re typing mails & texts and dialing the wrong numbers. Currently looking at the 9700, bigger gap between the keys. And ooh, i dont really have chubby fingers ! :)

  • The Phone software can be updated with the Blackberry Desktop Manager. It is very easy. The trackball tends to get dirty after prolonged usage but can be cleaned with alcohol.

  • i have upgraded Blackberry curve 8900 v5.0.0.509 works great

  • why does my phone hang sometimes?? i have to reboot it to get rid of it, but sadly it wil have the same prob again...

  • 1)Yes 2)It depends how you use the trackerball.If you use it with care it will last if not every 3 weeks you must change the trackerball or clean it.

  • 1) Can the software of the phone be updated by the user? Via the PC software for example or does it have to be sent to the service provider? and how easy is it to do. 2) Does the trackball really give a lot of problems as people say it does? Thanks

  • hey guys im planning to buy bb 8900 ..hwz d fone is it worth buying??

  • Also looking at the BB Bold 9650. Not to fond of the Track Ball prefer navigation pad. Pretty Urgent Thanks

  • the battery timming sucks, they say its standby time is 256h but it dosent work ..i love my blackberry8900 but the battery timing :(

  • My battery is fine.. i charge it every 2 days and use my phone alot.maybe need a new battery?

  • Like every piece of equipment released, ever, some people will have issues with a handset. This is not a fault of the series, but of that handset unless conclusive evidence is recognised as a general fault. The Curve 8900 has none of these beyond the expected issue of overtime usage of the trackball.. just over a year of usage before it becomes slack. If the handset is looked after it will last until the next upgrade. It is a fantastic phone and will leave you with no regrets (unless you are one of those unlucky people that finds the rubbish amongst the gold) A great camera, a solid feel, ease of use and excellent battery life. Only thing is the 2G not 3G issue, and thats only a problem for those that want to surf the internet through a phone.. which I recommend you do not do..

  • can i get threaded view 4 msg in curve 8900??

  • The battary sucks! i recharge it 1-2 times per day! :S

  • i'm confused :[ should i buy 8900 or 8530 (violet) i love the specs of the 8900 but i hate the track ball 8530 has a trackpad and in violet too >.< but it has a lower resolution and camera :[ what to buy? pls help :[

  • My BB Bold just got bad on me.... i need to know if i can transfer my backup from my Bold to 8900 via my blackberry desktop manager.

  • Matlab u will not spare BB anywere.. Its stil with me trired callin u couple of times.. let me knw wht 2 do

  • yes, it will backup and restore automaically if you did't change the desktop manager settings.

  • how long does the battery life last on this thing kuz at 8am its full and at 16pm theres only two bars left and that the time one logs on facebook and music whille going home? please help

  • this phone is way to complicated for me i just cant get used to it

  • Yes, you need to have BIS active though.

  • I have a black berry 8900 , does it allow to edit and make changes in the email and send attachments ???? I am so confused cause it does not show me that option. Does the curve allow that ???

  • Install 'BerryAnnoying'.

  • I've been using this phone for more than a year and I love it! I think it is the best phone ever too! It also has a very good camera.

  • does anybody have any idea if the javelin supports java? .jad or .jar files have no problems running on it do they? thanks in advance! kwadd

  • Thanks JRF...:)

  • best phone ever......this is the replacement of my lost p1i

  • Pandora, Slacker, iheartradio, etc. Google can help you out more. Most of these aren't available in every country though.

  • I also had the SE P1i and I loved that phone! Which is why I got a Curve 8520, the QWERTY pad makes it easy to type on.

  • Can anyone tell me if there is a radio app you can download for this phone? Thanks!

  • Without a doubt the best phone I have used after the Sony ericsson P1i. Ease of use, with great battery life. I use it through the day for emails, as well as data heavy apps like facebook, web browsing along with 1 hour of calls every day and only need to recharge every 48 hours. I know this site always complains about the BB user interfaces in the sub menus, but I personally dont think that is so much of an issue. I was using an Xperia X1 before this which had snazzy interfaces, but the phone pretty much stank. The web browsing is also super fast. This phone has converted me to a loyal bb user.

  • The Blackberry 8900 is a good phone in all areas. My issues are about it not having a memory card even a 1GB to begin with and why not having 3G as standard

  • I've had this phone for almost, 8 months now and I've never as per say had a battery issue, though when i did it was my fault - left multiple applications running together and forgot they were running. Further more-ran a software upgrade to version 5.0.0.4, which bettered my battery life.

  • Its quite naive to put up such a comment, don't you feel so?? if that specific battery is bad doesn't mean the phone itself is bad. Did you try getting it changed as i am sure the warranty covers the same??

  • Hi, does anyone know how to switch off the shutter sound when clicking a still picture? Thanks

  • how do i delete all my pic from the ph i can only delete 1 by 1 izt? any thing that i can mark n delete together

  • Hi all, NEVER BUY THIS PHONE!!!! if you r in india never attempt it.....may be if you r a person who is not bothered abt 18000 INR....i've been using this mobile for 3 weeks...right from the 1st day i had prob with battery...yesterday i changed my battery...it was fine for 1hour...after that my trackball is not working...i' not able to access anything no emails no sms :( gotta go to service center tomorrow....:( PS: @ RIM: pls deploy your own service center in every place in India where you sell BB...if not you'll lose lot of customers Simple logic: Nokia is leading in sales bcoz you'll find nokia service center in every place where they sell their products

  • Good phone with width screen. But net problen.

  • its one the money sign for the speaker phone

  • bai..u dont simply saying something like that mor*n..u may hurt others who love curve models.. dont just becoz u are so UNLUCKY to get the faulty unit from ur distributor n had a 'nightmare' with it u can say bad things!.. get a life bro!!!

  • When the conversation is on, press the menu button and you'll see activate speakerphone in the menu

  • hi can anyone help me to find out the speaker phone option?

  • Black berry curve is the worst because this model has a problem, that it screen goes white and u can't see even a single alphabet and nothing. u hv to send the phone to the service center for repirs. The worst part is that in india support is worse than worst. I bought a phone and after 24 hours of working it goes white and when i took it to the service center they ditched me and initially took my call for replecement and later said that the phone will go to bankok for repirs and will take 1 month. I am from srinagar, J&K and i hv no service center but delhi which is 1000km far. my phone still with me and i don't know what to do as they don't accept the courier also. I hv to wait when i will go to delhi and giev the phone for repirs and send somone to drop it in their service center, I am fed up with the service and u will find no support from blackberry itself in india. so my suggestion is don't waste ur money and buy some phone which gives service at its best.

  • you have to set key sounds on silent. not ring sound.

  • I doubt if the outer silver coloured panel will last longer. Also the track ball ... can anyone suggest on this.

  • it does and have extra option call Audio Boost :D

  • u need open the media,open any file exp music and push menu button, search for receive file..its not like nokia or SE that u just can send and receive it

  • i set the key tone to none but theres still a tone wen i type in my numbers. how do i get rid of it?????

  • I am havin the same problem so if any1 can assist, that wud be much appreciated

  • Trackpad on 8520 is much better than track ball on 8900. But i will still prefer 8900 just because of screen, sunlight visibility is spot on even better than iPhone. With lower resolution 8520 display act like a mirror under direct sunlight.

  • check on the net

  • u have to pair up ur device with the other device first of all then u have to go to media, press the option button and then click on receive using bluetooth. u have to do this every time u want to receive any document. i think its a general blackberry process cos it was like dat with my curve 8520 and storm 2

  • Hi Does this phone have a 3.5mm audiojack plz reply

  • For Everyone that has problem with Receiving. when u go to ur Media, depending on the file u want to receive. If you want to receive video, scroll on the video, then use the Options button, scroll down, u'll see Receive File Using Bluetooth. Its just like some PC whereby u have to do the same to receive a file.

  • i am using this phone for 2 months now, the battery backup is worst. very few apps are available rather no games are avaible on net.buy the nokia e72.buy 8900 only if you want to use blackberry services. e72 is much better than this phone.

  • I suggest you go for BB 8520 curve instead, its value for money n features are similar to B8900. I a using it and and trust me can't loive without it even for a day. Fantastic phone!

  • In this Blackberry how could we install the msn messenger and also how could we instal also a dictionary ?

  • i have installed msn messenger im my bb 8900,but messenger is not working,can u help me??????

  • 8100 - Pearl Go to applications Contacts Press the menu button Select SIM Phone Book Press the menu button Select Copy All To Address Button 8300 - Curve Go to applications Address Book Press the menu button Select SIM Phone Book Press the menu button Select Copy All To Address Button This should be the same for the curve

  • The 9700 is obviously better. It costs more, so it should be. But 8900 is still a great phone if you don't need 3G. If you do, buy a 9700.

  • Guys im cnfusing now about choose ths handset or the spica android one?? Any advice phlease

  • although the n72 is 5mp, but the quality if the pic still cant beat the 3.2mp curve

  • how can i backup for contacts from blackberry 8900 curve reply at [email protected]

  • how do u make themes work on this phone?? i downloaded themes n transferred tham but they dont work plz help

  • Which one would you say is better.....8900 or 9700?

  • The best BB is without doubt the curve 8900.....

  • Two consistent problems...the trackball sucks and so does the browser...returned mine with in a month and am now going for 8520( dont need GPS & 3G as both my Nokia e52 and Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 kick BB to dust in matter of specs)...trackpad is much better....

  • The Bold 9700 is practically a Curve 8900 but with 3G and a trackpad. Now your main differences are camera 5MPX vs 3.2MPX and price. Not sure which is cheaper but at least they are more alike. Choose the one that suits you the best. If you get a BB, you will need a BIS plan in order to use all the features. So choose wisely.

  • get the blackberry 8900.

  • Bhi jst but blackberry there is no substitude for this set nokia is no more than avarage standard where as blackberry exist in executive class

  • hey guys! i need help i got a BlackBerry Curve 8900 and i need to format it how can i do that?

  • Folks...I am confused in choosing between Nokia N72 and Blackberry 8900. I have been hearing mixed reviews about these phones. Nokia seems to have a 5MP camera,3G while BB8900 has a 3.2MP and no 3G phone. Also, I read reviews on dismal trackball performance in BB. Appreciate your response. Thanks much

  • how shud i copy contacts from N73 to dis?? pls help guys...

  • The model of the phone should have to do with wether it's postpoid or prepaid. This phones can normally work with prepaid or postpaid contracts. What you need to do is to check with your operator whether they do or not support prepaid service for blackberry and if there's any sort of limitation for specific phones which I believe that should not be that way, but you never know, the commercial guys are not to be fully trusted, Lol

  • Sure, this peace of device great. I just hate the fact that it's trackball eventually fails to roll and above all it has no 3G - Gosh!

  • Yeah, I forgot people make a big deal out of GPS, but I don't. I used google maps and it worked well without GPS. But, then again, I don't use GPS that much.

  • Divx/Xvid are also supported on the 8520 and I think the trackpad is smoother and easier to use, plus it doesn't get stuck like trackballs do. GPS, yeah, forgot about that one.

  • hey curve 8900 is anytime better if compared. why do u thnk its expensive :P and also the camera and the other features are way better.

  • the 8900 comes with gps.... sorri

  • How can i make my 8900 stop freezing?

  • No, There are more... 1.GPS 2.Divx/Xvid Support 3.Track Ball Navigation .....

  • The only things the 8900 has over the 8520 are - screen res - camera res + flash Everything else is the same. While 320x240 is lower, it's still a common spec these days, and you can't really tell the difference until holding them side by side. Camera flash should be a must these days, but as most would say, buy a camera phone for decent pics, like a SE, Nokia, Samsung, etc.

  • 8520 is an entry level phone for blackberry, it has minimal specs. so if you want performance 8900 is your better bet, only problem for the 8900 is the trackball but im willing to overlook that

  • how can you say 8900 is better than 8520, are you out of your mind?

  • easy to use and fun games:) hehe lol its preety kiff thng wen u work lyk seriously its kiff and it takes a while to figure out small things like bluetooth and facebook but after two years you will finally understand it bad music :) lol enjoy it if u buy it :)

  • nice phone the only problem is the TRACKBALL has faults. It can easily be broken. and its very expensive to replace it!

  • Had one until I got robbed, but it was a brilliant phone, a bit of a bitch to figure out in the beginning and no 3g, but once you have it down pat its superb... Thanks Blackberry :) I liked it so much I got a 9700 bold and this is every phone I would want(but I miss my track ball)

  • yea it is

  • buy 8900. much better than 8520.

  • hey i have a plan in buying this phone, does the online apps would work through wifi? such as youtube, facebook?

  • jus want to know if yo gt bis does it mean that you pay 4 anykind of interenet usage?

  • I use a blackberry curve 8900 since September 09. About 3 months now the phone turns itself off and when I turn it back on again it asks me for the pin code. This was happening frequently so I returned it to Carphone Warehouse and received a new phone four days ago. The new phone also turns itself off and shows no signal but sos. I do not keep the phone near any electrical appliances, set top box or near any metal objects. I removed the battery and re-inserted many times, etc. HELP! please anyone. I live in Harefield Middlesex and checked with T-Mobile on coverage. They assured me I was receiving full network coverage. So where do I go from here? I need the email services daily for business use hence the Blackberry 'phone. Helpful suggestions please..

  • hi freinds m planning to go for an bb 8520 can i use my prepaid connections or should i go for postpaid my friends confused me ple suggest

  • Hello everbody, i am from mozambique,africa. There is a way to use all blackberry services whith out having a BIS or BES service from the carrier. I have done this on my bb bold 9000 and i am doing GPS,INTERNET,etc.. using WAP from my operator. Regards, NJMP

  • Any news about upgrades of this phone? Please share!

  • You could try it, but I couldn't use it when my prepaid BIS was expired. And, you could also check BB forums, where you'll get more, better advice than you can on here.

  • i just bought an curve 8900, i was realy happy, but at home i realised that, is had to finde aplications for it, i used my old phones alot for voip or IM , using nimbuz or fring, with my other models of phones like n95 i could send pictures and make phones calls to skype thru nimbuz, with the blackberry i´m only able to chat, i´m shure i can finde softwares so i can do voip on it but im tierd to search, and a BIG minus is that it dosent have 3G, tommorw i´ll take it back, soory!

  • da best phone ever!!!! don't think buy it. i got it one week ago and i cant't get my hands off if> greattt!!!!!!!

  • but i have heard from friends once u activate the BIS and u get some kinda settings .... then even if u unsucribe from the BIS the BBm and msn would work on wifi too

  • blackberry sucks! its the worst phone i ever had.. the data package is so expensive i would rather go for nokia 5800 or any other cool model.. i WOULDNT BUY THIS PHONE JUST BECAUSE ITS IN TREND n everybodys using it.. coz trends come n go.. but blackberry is an ugly business type phone which sucks no features at all!

  • No, BBM,Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, Myspace, email... all this relies on BIS servers to push data. If you have BIS, then you can use them over wifi as this will help out with faster data speeds but without BIS active on your phone you'll just get the "Service not available for this device" error.

  • go n get the BIS..!

  • I have a blackberry curve 8900 am not knowing how to open facebook and other sites like youtube or ....something on wifi I can't get pc version why ? And how to get a pc version ? Reply as soon as possible thx.

  • Do bbm,msn n facebook cum without da package?

  • I want one so badley.

  • I was having the same problem. It would ask me to enter the pin on my router. But I tried to set it up manually and it worked. Follow these steps: 1. Manage Connections>Set up wi-fi 2. Next>Manually Add Network 3. Type the name of wi-fi connection (e.g. homewifi) 4. Add 5. For Security Type select Pre-Shared Key and enter the wi-fi password 6. CONNECT

  • how can it play youtube videos? what app to install in it? thancs

  • I have been using the 8900 for about a year now, and it has been GREAT !!!. I think its one of the best blackberry set RIM has and will produced. It excels in eery way, weight, features, handling, speed, screen quality, camera, GPS, etc etc.

  • Hey there need some help is there any way I can switch off the edge and just use the gprs on this handset cause some times when I use certain apps I find the hand set looses edge reception I come from using a nokia n70 and had the option that I could switch off the 3g and use gprs the next question is does any1 know how I can get a program that can edit images or does this handset have w already that I just can find thanks for the help guys so far this is an awesome handset

  • If you bought it directly from RIM or a service provider, then you should have at least a 30 day return policy plus 1 year warranty so you should be able to get it replaced or fixed.

  • hi , i bought BB 8900 SECOND HAND , it is a very good phone ,but i am unable to use wifi on my mobile . BB could detect the wifi signals but when i press password , it is writen phone do not support wifi please help

  • its grrrrrreat!

  • you are absolutely right. i totally agree with you.

  • blackberry 8900 is a fantastic phone.blackberry was the first to introduce full qwerty phones. the nokia e72 is just a multimedia phone and it is good for NOTHING. if you really want to buy a qwerty phone than go for blackberry.dont even think of nokia.

  • i want to know is there any option to send messages to many people at once( send to many). and i want to buy this phone for gr8 look is it good or i go 4 anyone else, are windows phone good then this? i have not used them.

I will appreciate answers ans suggestions..thank you

  • Upgrade to blackberry OS v.5 try it

  • Try google maps v.3.0.2 it works on my bb

  • I use a BB 8520 and it hasn't failed on me once, while my n85 didn't go 4 days without getting buggy. And no, I wasn't the problem. I know how to use phones, I've had over 20 phones in the past few years because I like to collect phones. And yes, Nokia has good features but BB isn't for morons. Especially since they are a far more stable messaging phone. As for Nokia's push email service... I would like to know just how stable it is? I chose my 8520 over the E71 because o the FB app, WLM and push email. Now that Nokia messagin "works" (couldn't get it to work on the n85) I would like to know if you've had any issues like repeated emails (someting I was told happens) or memory issues? And have you experianced any truncated emails? I had 2 and that did bother me. Although I'm pretty sure it was a vid or something because docs and pics arrive no problem. Any insight on these points? Thanks!

  • It is easy to say Shut up rather than accepting the minus points within. I have Nokia E72 with a unlimited data plan from my service provider. Nokia messaging service is awesome and it same as BB push email service. Of course Nokia has better features comparing to Blackberry, now with this Nokia messaging service, i think only moronic will use Blackberry.

  • If you really need to complain about your specific need, go get a nokia and shut up. and if you NEED all of those features for your "buisness" shouldn't it supply one for you?

  • dude..get a life bro..b4 buy any smartfone especially BB,make a good research n learn about technology..dont simply buy it just because now everybody using smartfone!! i think u better use a cheap one la bro!!..IM on blackberry or any other apps only work with BIS..

  • I just had the BB 8900, and im wondering if the IM works with the wifi only.I dont have the bb service.

  • this is good phone but i suggest not to buy. wifi is not up to mark problem with bluetooth. better to go with other phone u will get good one in thi price

  • i am planning on to buy a blackberry as my next phone and as i have never used a blackberry before i was doubtfull about something as far as i heard that blackberrys require a different plan from the operator specificly for the fone, i just wanted to know if it was true and if so then does that mean a normal sim cannot be used in it. :S

  • can any 1 tell me how to delete ALL phone contacts at once? i have to delete one by one.... so pls tell me

  • lol You obviously don't know how to use a Blackberry. It's so simple: Copy your contacts to Microsoft Outlook and sync up ANY phone with it to get your contacts, or use Google Sync for contacts. I went from a Nokia 5610 to a Nokia n85 and my contacts weren't fully compatible, had to go one by one to fix them.... so syncing is the best way. Desktop Manager lets me backup contacts, sms, emails, profiles, or anything on it except for 3rd party apps, at the same time or I can go to the advanced backup and choose what I want. Also using the same SW, go to App Loader and delete, add, update anything on your phone. So yeah, you don't know how to use a BB. I have BB and Nokia SW on my computer, even SE. Probably the best thing nokia has is the ability to save everything on an internet account (ovi share) that way, when my n85 deleted my pictures for no reason, I was able to use my computer backup (the manual backup of the picture folder since the backup file from Nokia's SW didn't save correctly) and Ovishare to reload my pictures. Blackberry hasn't given me any trouble in the past 4-5 months of owning one, Nokia n85 didn't last a month. Even my 5610 lasted longer than it did and was half the price.

  • I bought used 8900, when I install google maps v3.2.1, it cannot run, when try tu run it, it will load half way then gone. install and uninstall more than 4 times still same..any1 can help..?

  • just got my phone today i saved all my contacts however when i get a text message, i have to go through the menu to the 'sms and mms' application to read the text. the contact name doesnt come up, only the number. this makes it difficult to know who is texting me. the 'message' application on the home screen also doesnt do anything does anyone know how to fix this?

  • Not very user friendly. -you can not send business cards as you would do with a nokia, can only send a contact as an attachment. -Impossible to copy all your contacts from device to simcard. Can only do it one by one. I have 350 business numbers on my phone, it is going to take some time. Alternatively you could back it up with the most basic Blackberry software provided and then restore it to your new blackberry and only to a blackberry. So there is no easy way to copy your numbers to another phone. -The Blackberry desktop manager is so basic, you really dont have any options and have to back up everything on your phone, not just only what you want to select. As a very practical person i really battled with the blackberry 8900 and 8310 i had before. Rather go for a Nokia with all these features you need even on the most basic phone.

  • its a fab phone! tracker ball is easy to use and u can alter the sensitivity of it too!! the net is fast and unless the battery is low, it never takes long to load up! x

  • The problem regarding the radio has been resolved, you can actually download a radio application....just google Radio application for Blackberry

  • there is no radio it would be better if it has this option.and i could not view miss calls number.can we see miss call or not

  • thats because your service provider has not activated it or you are just using there email package. hence you cant see the browsing features . call service provider

  • Hello Every1 i;ve been using this device for one month now.... it's actually GREAT !!!! key pros: Fast Performance No hangings No Memory shortages after continous uses last but not the least NO PROBLEMS !!!!! before this i had nokia 6233i i used that cell for 3 years and i loved every single moment with it. it became a part of my life. then in January i bought HTC touch 2.... total waste of money. its flow was very attractive... but it had the worst problems inside it .. Hangs when ur receiving a call,,, stops ringing alaram after 1 week atuomatically for this u have to restart it once in a week last but not the least.. it was very slow.... u press a button .. it will take around 3 to 4 seconds to response... u cant type ur emails or sms very fast..... so i had to sale it .. then i moved to black berry 8900 ... im using it for a month havnt restarted it once.. the black berry service is also very fast and good. i keep in touch with my friends all over the world.. 24 hours a day... and its very fast :) highly recommended for the ppl who like fast UI...

  • Thanks JRF for the information. If you find something else about the notes application, please post it on this section as soon as you can. Thanks again...

  • BB 8900, is very bad, why I cannot access internet browser ? I going to throw in....

  • its a very good device for all persons like young or business men all u get what u thouht like mails and multimedia features is oosam i love my 8900

  • I can not open PDF files on the phone why ? anybody knows ?

  • i want to make my BB formet any can tell me please THANK'S ASAP

  • A problem with BB is that it depends on internal memory. If you have a lot of apps, you won't have as much memory for mails, SMS, notes, etc. You can save voice notes (60 min each) to the SD card but regular notes are only saved to the phone's memory. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will point it out.

  • the phone has all office application and also can edit files such as word excell power point adobe acrobat java runtime flash player facebook application(3rd party) opera browser(3rd party) skype (3rd party) Yahoo messenger - Pre-installed Google talk - Pre-installed BBm messenger - Pre-installed Msn messenger - Pre-installed Thanks

  • About the Notes Application and the Voice Recorder Application (in the organizer package): How many notes can fit on this phone's internal memory? What is the Maximum number of characters per note? Can the notes be stored on a micro sd card? How many voice recordings can fit on this phone's internal memory? Can they be stored on a micro sd card as well? What is the Time Limit for each voice recording? 60 minutes max? I would be very happy if someone could tell me, as my decision for getting this phone depends on this information.

  • No prob, BB.

  • got this phone last weekend its a crazy phone wid crazy features.....awesome battery life......awesome camera.......bb messenger free all over the world........audio quality is mind blowing better then i-pod......can install awesome bb themes.......looks good and yeah bb's r in trend now.....so go for it.....

  • Easiest way would be to sync your e75 via pc suite to your computer, or isync if you are on a mac, then download the blackberrry software manager, and sync your blackberry device to your computer as well. Blackberry manager is available for windows or mac. All your data should sync. Good luck

  • no worries!! :)

  • Ya the blackberry curve 8900 is the best EVER. I cant live without it. From the Wifi to the convenience to the style of the phone...Sophisticated and sexy. I even bought this phone without a contract LOCKED and everything...Still works just as great. Yes, it is expensive WITHOUT a contract and yes it is pricey but think about it. Your buying exactly what you pay for; A fantastic phone. The person that I bought this phone from has great deals and sells not only blackberrys but iphones, samsungs and lg's. Anyway, I figured it could be helpful to share my experience with the rest of you so if anyone is interested shoot her an email: [email protected] Shes a great independent distributor that knows her stuff. Now i know why they call it the cr*ack berry! Cant live without it.

  • BBM is the best thing ever

  • Does Blackberry 8900 support the MS office applications ( MS-Word,MS-Excel, etc) and Adobe Reader ( Pdf ). Sincerely, Conte
