BlackBerry Curve 8980 - User Reviews

  • superbbbbb

  • bbm

  • give it to me :D

  • I like this....!!!!!

  • is it a user frendly phone and what is price

  • i would have buy da fone if it had 3G

  • my mistake its the other way around ..lol same

  • the 9360 is a cdma phone while the 9350 is a gsm, you may say same difference

  • ANOTHER Curve? You can buy 8520, 9300 3G, 9320, 9350, 9360, 9380. Why do you need another phone doing about the same thing as the entire Curve series? For example, there is virtually no difference between 9350 and 9360. Same design, 512 mb extra storage, same capabilities give or take. Why another one?

  • Is this phone out?

  • thinking about price.

  • I think d os must b upgraded to 6 or 7.the world is movin forward n os5 is not good,n I wish d price wil b moderate so I can.buy 1

  • i am also agree with him

  • I like this phone very much but I want it to be cheaper,so that I and many other people who really love Blackberry can afford 1.

  • 9780 is stil available, due to demand!

  • A re-release of the 8520, not worth buying at all. what went wrong???

  • OS 5.0? Whyy? Should be the OS more upgrade ryte? :)

  • Don't think its gonna be made bexuase blackberry seem to focusing on much nicer & sleek devices. Most of ther devices have a touchscreen and keyboard. No offence to this device but its nice passed a long time ago wen they were making the bold 9780

  • I think it should be OS 7, have a 5MP camera and video recorder, also on 3G or 4G network, and

  • Cam should be 5MP and OS should be 7. really looking forward to this device!!!

  • hope it will b not expensive like bold 2

  • i m really looking forward to this device.... i am using Javline 8900 but in 8980 camera should be 5 MP and Os should be 6. BlackBerry please launch this device ASAP.... i so need this :)

  • I really hope they bring out this phone, the 8900 was a great phone, hope the specs of the 9900 will be included into this handset, the rumor mill doesnt always have the correct specs

  • love curve keyboard and the slick exterior as a bold so I want it!!!! But... would it at least be upgradable to OS 6 as the 9300 is??

  • No 3g, os 5.1. M like....SERIOUSLY!!!!

  • this device typing is better than bb9780 or 9700 , please Blackberry introduce this device again for users whose fingers / thumbs are broader compared to narrower fingers as space between the keys facilitates better typing . features wise alos bb 8900 or javlin was good device . new launced models again battery life has been compromised auch as 9900 and son on .

  • When is BB 8980 releasing and what would be its cost price?

  • this will be rim's most successful model, once it goes on sale, where is it rim?

  • The phone looks nice, however the spec is obviously no where near correct. Since all handsets are now OS.6 or OS.6 ready excluding the 8520 i dont see them releasing a handset with OS5.

  • i want this phone. it's kind of like the 9780 or 9700 or 9650, but with curve keyboard! i hate the bold keyboards!!! that's why i want this phone.

  • i gotta get this phone! i have a 9300 and this phone is great because it has a better camera, better led light like the bold, and it just looks great. i like the curve keyboards but i want a phone just like the 9780 or 9700 that has a curve keyboard instead of bold. that's why i want this phone.

  • When Will curve 8980 be launched? Any official announcements?

  • I have tis phone right now..its a charm comes with latest V5 os

  • I can promise you it is being released with v 5 I have the test reports and user guide to this phone. OS: v5.0.0.541 Platform: 6.1.0.5

  • Hello EveryOne.. :-) does any1 has an idea about when will this phone be launched? and what can be its Price?

  • This is the best looking phone in the Blackberry market...My wife has a curve 8900 and I always wish it has track pad instead of track ball...The look and feel of this phone is awesome, the specifications are great....We need this phone in Jamaica for Christmas 2010...DIGICEL please get one for me....pleaseeeeeeee!!!

  • if you want 3G u buy Onxy

  • whats the point of making the same phone over and over again? i don't get it.when will you wake up blackberry, don't make the same mistake nokia did. new hardware the same old OS the same old features. what's the point man..common

  • Why not 3G?

  • i need 3g i have unlimited 3g internet

  • Blackberry 8xxx = no 3G, 2G / 2.5G only. Blackberry 9xxx = 3G capable.

  • i have beter idea

  • Amazing phone ! ???? it doesnt have hsdpa :(

  • who needs 3g anyway....

  • it's a shame bb and iphone are so popular and they're the same thing over n over

  • No 3g...big no from me

  • i think the the fone looks llke crap . n shit so yaaa try n invent sumthin better . crack arses ,.......

  • Looks like a cheap bold!!!!!

  • Highly unlikely it'll come with OS5, if it'd be released at all...! Personally, I have no interest in a new curve. Today I'm gonna swap my 9700 for a 9780.

  • is this a low end one ?

  • call blackberry phones have same design

  • sweet, blackberry 8900 front with trackpad, and 9700 back
