Looking @ getting a blackberry Bold on Orange

Dont know if ive said it before but if you do get a BB Bold, which you should get because it just simply rocks as a device...then the best accessory you can possibly get is hte Bold charging dock...i have one and its just amazing and looks the part...fair enough its just a charging dock but still its awesome

Go for the 8900 Curve mate, nicer handset.

Need to understand what the 9000 has that the 8900 doesn't and the other way round?

Curve is slightly smaller but doesn't have 3G.

Everything else is basically the same I believe.

If you go on the Blackberry site - it allows you to compare the specs of each device side by side.

No the other difference is that that 8900 has slightly more memory than the Bold..256mb of ram compared to the 128mb that the Bold comes with. Also the trackball on the 8900 is slightly better than the Bold...its black and feels much more responsive etc.

Got my Bold free from work and also loving it. Was actually in the market for a new phone but now i've cut my contract with o2 and put it on a simplicity tariff as i only really use my work phone now as its on an unlimited data tariff

The only downside i see so far is the built in memory size and having to convert avi files to mp4 before the phone will play them back.

huh? mine has 1GB built in memory and a 1GB memory card :confused:

With others on this, by far the best phone I have used. Plus it's free

MicroSD's are cheap now anyway. 8GB for £20 isn't bad, and that's for a Sandisk Ultra.
