BlackBerry 8900 Curve 2 T-Mobile: First Review

[lolipop20201]

how many phones does he have altogether????

[maschingo]

is this better yhan 8520?

[lolipop20201]

no,8520 is way betterrrr

[A1rForce0ne]

I am debating getting this phone but no 3G is a huge downer for me :(.

[irishgolscorer8]

whats 3g!?!?!?? every1 talks about it but idk wht th big deal is

[hoedann1]

a curve without 3g has his good points to: you have longer battery life

[CelticsFanBoy92]

by saying that this doesn't have 3g but it has wifi. Does that mean that you can't use the internet unless you are near a internet source. (like the ipod touch). Or can you still use the internet as long as you have cell phone signal. Please reply. I am getting a new phone in the next 1-2 weeks

[snarefreak07]

i want to get a blackberry and i noticed something....isn't the 9700 just like this phone? and if so....which ones better? the 8520, 8900, or the 9700?

[iPastrolito]

@snarefreak07 9700 is better

8520: most bought for media and only 2 Mega pixel camera w/ no flash

8900: 3.2 mega pixel camera and upgraded firmware from the 8520 but no 3G

9700:backlight for keyboard and 3.2 mega pixel camera w/ flash same as the 8900, upgraded and better firmware than the other blackberry's and 9700 has 3G

[0legacyking0]

[baddestchickPA]

How fast does it die ?

[snarefreak07]

[crislissa]

is it difficult to stream youtube vids on the 8900?

[crislissa]

can u still browse the internet and watch youtube videos and stuff even though the 8900 doesnt have 3G?

[tjonesboi013]

yes

[alpinestar1114]

IS THIS PHONE THE SAME ON AT&T

[Iambillsjumbie]

THE ONLY THING I WANNA KNOW IS: cAN I Use mp3s as a ringtone?

[FlyingPirateMan]

you have to have a mem card and put the mp3s in the ringtone folder

[chiccosanchez]

@Iambillsjumbie yh u can

[dannigirl232]

I have one, the only thing I don't like about it is that it will randomly freeze up and reboot constantly on some days. Is there anyway to fix this?

Other than that, its a great phone.

[rockonup]

That looks like the tour 2 almost however im getting the Curve 2 for verizon in 2 weeks. I thought the tour 2 had a different scroll ball.

[blechtman]

ok, is that really necessary? it's a phone review. plus I think he's cute.

[BigMakandFries]

i lol'd

[coldbyatch]

I have this phone it is sooo sooo cool.

The keypad takes alil time to get used to, because the keys are soo tiny. But you do get used to them, once you wear them in :)

and btw I love you Noah, I think I have a lil crush x

[katyflaka]

for at&t, if i get this phone with out the data plan, can i still use the Wi-Fi? & does aim use data on this blackberry?

[itsstefpapadopoulos]

i think the iphone is soooooooo much better in email but bb are really good im this 2mrrw

[snowrid3r14]

what happened to the pearl?!?!? i love that phone):

[XxxLasombraxxX]

Wait so it Curve 2 and Tour the same phone they look so alike?

[RK831]

What the Curve needs is 3G. EDGE sucks, but the Curve feels way good in the hands. I like the Bold for its 3G/WiFi capabilities, but the Curve has a much better keypad than the Bold.

[jpxsaid]

Yeah I agree with you!

Just hope the next curve will have 3g

[paraturoo]

does this phone have wifi connectivity so i can use internet from home with a router?

[RobynHode8]

8900 and Tour are the best.

[niconavatski]

Bold is. Has both wifi and 3g. both 8900 and Tour lack either one.

[gizzle19]

I saw that the phone support windows live messenger is it pre-installed (standard). Does the bold also have WLM? THANKS

[Sir3tt]

[AJGURUCrimpMaster]

[hustle233g]

8900

[justabeardo]

8900!! Storm is just littered with bugs. And the touch isn't as solid as it should be.

[liverpoolfan070]

whats 3g??

[beetch243]

faster internet and stuff

[Qorious]

God, it's so expensive! $500 unlocked!!!

[hearttbreakkx]

[itouchmyipod1]

[OwensMusic1]

[cdabae010]

[Djembejim]

[n1ck1216]

[ash61961]

[nubcheese2]

i got this phone yesterday and i got the data plan, but the internet doesnt work!

[ALpAINTBALLa]

i just got mine and im on wifi but i can use the internet it says i need a data plan.. can anyone help me out with this?

[Cartmanrulez]

you have to make sure that you're actually using wifi instead of edge. That's the only way that it will alert you if you need a data plan.

[ash61961]

I'd rather have wifi instead of 3g

[youngwombat]

just got it, and i friggin love the thing

[notnew2dagame]

who cares bout 3g we made it through the "no 3g era" ya digg

[Antweezy58]

word., we went years without it, we cn still go on without it lolz

[Bader88]

What is 3g ? :P

[RileyTigabeast96]

3rd gen it just means more modern and faster

[jacobh13]

if i buy this phone on ebay unlocked and put my at&t sim card in, will it work fine? like still do everything the same, just with at&t?

[ididit433]

if i have a 2 year upgrade, can i get this phone for free?

[lukeeeoneee]

iPhone 3G, Blackberry Curve 8900 Or Blackberry Bold 9000? Whats your opinion...Or infact name a phone thats not that much more expensive and kicks all these phones ass...anyway let me know

[antfiji7414]

"Full qwerty blackboard" lol

[BKstunna519]

does this play youtube?

[ShadowFyre89]

all blackberrys with OS 4.5 and up do, so yes this does, it runs 4.6

[yoshawn2002]

Hi, i saw the phone and it looks great. I currentlyh have verizon and i dont like the storm but i heard in the video message u stated that other service providers will come out with the same looking one as well. How would verizon do that? Make another bb model that looks the same? thanks...

[nemadrol]

Verizon is supposedly coming out with the Blackberry Niagara. This Blackberry will looks similar to that of the Curve and Bold. Definitely planning on switching to the Niagara when it comes out.

[soup0129]

i need a phone that is good for texting cause i text a lot and i am used to a qwerty keyboard. i would like to have facebook, myspace, and a fast browser but i dont know which to get

[soup0129]

i am switching from AT&T for free because they r overcharging me and I am switching to T-Mobile. I dont know what to get though. my chooses r blackberry 8900, samsung behold, samsung memoir. which one should i get? they r all free with new 2 year contract.

[hombiez]

8900 hands down

[Hidd3nman87]

it looks sooo nice!! lol better than the curve prob but i like it and the blackberry bold i like the lil keyboards on em!

[daprof3ssional]

i have a G1 and im thinking about switching to this phone cuz it looks so good. Would it be worth it?

[neo718]

i've almost made up my mind, to go with the curve over the iphone... it would be cool if you had a dogfight between the 2.. but i have a question on the curve.. how is the myspace on it?.. can i comment pages and images?.. cuz i cant on iphone..

[r1chard555]

He mentioned about 2nd generation, so there has to be a 1st generation.

How can you tell if it's 1st generation or 2nd generation when you're buying it?

Like he said, it won't say it on the box.

[njsuccessstory]

you'll be able to tell because the old curve is UGLY

[purplerocks1]

i want one but my contract is almost up so it sucks balls

[LT445]

Anybody think this'd be better than the G1?

[Arsalanthegr8]

Noah looks a little sick doesn't he? he isn't his jolly self

[rell127]

I wonder does it support flash??

[rcbillg]

good review, thanks

[SoldierNOTMartyr]

He says "It's very pocketable". Does he mean it's very easy for him to steal?

[sgthaloz]

lol. no he means it is easy to fit in your pocket without a big bulge.

[question4seller]

Also 3g is only available in some areas.. very scarce on Tmobile and very expensive.. Most will not care if there isnt 3g...

[rell127]

t-mobile is one of the cheapest companies

[catleysmom]

the 8900 will be in at&t in July, but I am not sure

[question4seller]

who wants to pay $35 for 3g every month ?? that is outrageous and i could care less about 3g.. wi fi is almost anywhere i go in NYC... Plus the edge on this phone is almost as fast as 3g.. much faster than on other  phones.. Also this phone is great... One of the best phones i've ever owned.

[rell127]

wow i didn't know you pay that much extra.

[jordanlavvy]

does this have GPRS/EDGE?

If it does, would that mean I could still connect to the internert whenever.wherever, but it just wouldnt be as fast as having 3G?

:S.. any people living in the UK with this phone who could answer my question? (I only say this because I don't know whether they are selling different models over in the US or not)

x

[Ro0m309]

CAn you watch youtube videos?

[Wolfreys44]

what should i get, this or the nokia e71?

[sarkazzII]

got mine yesterday!!!!!!! IT IS BLAZING!!!!!!!

[mannyfresherr]

Blazing, your phone smokes grass?

[daprof3ssional]

what phone did u have before

[blkdc2]

no 3G Wackkkkkkkkkkkkk

[pavand91]

I heard that it's $199 with a 2year contract, how much is it with out a contract?

[CopDoctor]

retail is $499.99

[oldharve]

hell yeah. way too much. and the blackberry flip is 399 retail. i'm with tmobile and i have to wait 7 months for a full upgrade discount - 399 becomes 50! sorry, too much info, i was on my wat to rant mode...peace.

[superman4795]

does this have gps built in and can you install the google maps mobile for bb on it?

[concernedresident]

Getting mine either Tuesday or Wednesday if o2 get there act together :)

[NBArocksyall]

I might get it.

[jattpunjabi97]

[seedwards98]

will the 890 run youtube?

[twenty514]

[percymate]

The Bold is wayy better than this or the storm.  My Bold has 3G, my god it rocks.

[phxboy787]

i have verizon and the storm sucks azz

[DinoMartini]

This phone has one of the best keyboards I have used.

[lilbryan15]

dose it have allow youtube videos?

[gadgetfanatic86]

im not a bb hater !!! or an iphone fanboy lolol i have and prefer the iphone cause of the touch screen, and all the media included etc.. but guys come on lolol the blackberry bold is the best one on the market its a little bigger yes but the keyboard on it is better the screen is larger and the most impotant point the bold is 3g not new curve is not !! the only thing better is the camera but its a small detail anyways its the way i see it..

[Eballs84]

That John Mayer DVD he showed is pretty awesome

[junglykutha]

Grrrrr.......Woof Woof !

[ChopperX]

GOD I WANT THIS PHONE TO COME TO ATT

[watchurmouthyoungman]

[thenickmeister1215]

[backdoorman1971]

awesome vid noah

[jay47718]

i cant wait 2 get this next month i dont really care bout the 3g if i wanna get on the web i will use my computer how much is it 4 jus the phone on t-mo flex pay thing?

[Matt3683683]

better than the g1?

[aznlilsaint]

what phone would you suggest for a teenager that wants a small phone, and would use it for texting and calling equally? no sidekick plz, its too big.

[enalls]

I would say EnV2 if your on Verizon. Its a great phone. I used to have it until someone stole it

[aznlilsaint]

oh sorry i forgot to add "for tmobile" but thanks anyways.haha

[supermac18]

are they going to make this for verizon later???

[tandersn9]

at some point

[allthingswwe]

ahaagagagagagagaga pause at :06 lol fugly

[kievboy]

dogfight, this crap vs e71

[sarkazzII]

3g is not an issue 4 me so ill get it. i have a g1 and an iphone. so im putting down my g1

[zsmorr92]

You would take a blackberry over the G1? I mean the blackberry is nice, but android is really sweet and has alot of potential. I own a G1, I would take it over the iphone anyday as well.

[gsharpshooter80]

ahhh nothing better in the morning then staying home from college and getting my subscrition from phonedog on a stormy snowday lol thanx for the vid noah keep um up

[jackmitchell123]

im sorry for my launguge here but small things piss me off Why the fuck does every smartphone have to have a little flashing light at the top. its like taunting you. What the fuck is with that I dont even know what it does? Does anyone except hardcore blackberry palm users its like red pulsates = nothing, faster pulsating in green means somthing like WOW thats so freaking advanced. Just get rid of it and spare the battery life. Besides every time you touch the thing it lights up and wastes power

[Jerylemata]

very nice, mix between the Bold, and Storm

[KOkun]

how much do you think this will be without getting the discount? because i'm not eligible for any discounts until early summer.. which really sucks ass.

[brendon2dope]

looks iight

[VansAddict50]

interesting, but the lack of 3G is a real let down... I mean with the cellular market changing and growing constantly, do you really want to have a phone that is using outdated technology (EDGE)? I sure don't...

[shaeguitar]

i have tmobile and i would not get this phone i currently have the dash i am going to get the g1 soon or a unlocked iphone!

[XxDAVExISxBEASTxX]

do the iphone

[shaeguitar]

i dunno though i cant use 3g on a unlocked iphone :(

[pickelweasel1]

i would get the G1 i have it and it is really a great phone

[shaeguitar]

yes im still decidint cause i dont want to extend my contract so phones would bothe be at full price

[XxDAVExISxBEASTxX]

i have one and yeah it sucks but it still is fast. but all those apps and the great multimedia and overall look of the phone makes up for it. trust me u will fall in love =] i did

[FroYo44]

the g1 is mediocre. Despite what it lacks, the iphone is the best available

[EmperorProductions]

No! The G1 owns the iPhone, besides the lack of apps.

[CGrunzdizshitz]

the G1 deos own the iphone, n its getting more apps faster then the iPhone because people can make them not just apple

[tandersn9]

Apple is the only company that can make apps for the iphone, there is a huge developer community that develops that apps

[FroYo44]

apple doesnt make the apps u idiot look below u

[hawesd85]

There are third party developers for the apple app store as well. In fact over 99% of them are developed by third parties.

[CGrunzdizshitz]

and you have to buy them.

or hack it

[FroYo44]

apple doesnt make the apps u idiot, and btw, the iphone has over 10000 apps, while the g1 has over 200

do the math

[CGrunzdizshitz]

i didnt say they did i say G1 allows people to make their own. Apple charges you for it and its harder to do. anyone can make an app for hte G1.

either way idc wat u say this page is about the new curve, even though i love my G1 better.

if you like the iphone so much why do you care about htis? its a tmobile phone go back 2 ur piece of shit at&t.

[ki2594]

lol AT&T is better in A LOT more places than T-Mobile hah

and the no price thing is killing the gaming part of Android because EA and companies like that said there staying away because they want a price on there applications, so no good games or anything like that!

[GREGSJH13]

there coming out with paid apps for the g1 very soon.....so i dont know what your talking about.....and this video has nothing 2 do with the g1

[ki2594]

...it was a reply to someone talking about the g1 being better than the iPhone and stuff.

And thats a pretty desperate move by them, they've already fallen behind the iPhone enough, its a little late for them

[CGrunzdizshitz]

right, which is why in Miami my cousin who has the iphone 3g asks to use my phone cuz he doent have fast enough 3g or any service at all.

and who cares about EA? alot of the games on G1 are good. but who cares about the games if you want to play EA games go to the store and buy a 360 or a PS3. why in the hell would you rate a phone based on games? last i checked phones are for talking and texting and recently for email. nothing to do with games. or the internet really.
