- Family will include HSDPA and EV-DO versions (including an AWS-capable 1700MHz version), much as we'd heard
- 480 x 320 display
- 625MHz CPU, 1GB internal flash memory
- 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 (with A2Dp), GPS, MicroSDHC
- 480 x 320 video recording, photo geotagging
- 4.5 x 2.6 x 0.55-inches, 4.7 ounces
The black bars on top and bottom of the screen ? Way to go, make it look even smaller. RIM always had a thing for interface design :/
I still think the UI looks crappy. Sure it looks better, but now the icons seems more like a guessing game after seeing the crackberry review of the phone.
Ill keep to my curve :P
i actually have the very same opinion. the theme and icons are just hard to distinguish. i guess they finally came to their senses to add some hits of colours in the new icons set. But after all, i'm sure you can change the theme easily like any previous blackberries.
Does anyone else think it looks a bit like the iPhone? I'm talking about the rounded corners, silver ring around the edge, and the headphone speaker. I don't have a problem with blackberries but it just seems too similar...am I wrong?
A. What's wrong with looking like the iPhone? Why is there such a thing as "too similar"?
B. The keyboard kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, if you're concerned people will mistake you for an Apple fanboy. I think anyone who knows anything about iPhones will see this is different at once; even from the back, it's much wider (to fit the qwerty)...
No HSUPA!
No-HSUPA-for-you!!!
According to Bloomberg this morning, AT&T is coming out with this on June 23, 2008 at $399 with a two-year contract, and T-Mobile will launch a 3G version in August 2008.
I really do love my iPhone but this looks very tasty.
I agree!! my wife may get the iPhone as This is more business, what I need.

HEY GUYS !
I'm currently a 8100 user and I'm looking into buying a new phone later on this year.
Can anybody tell me what the major differences between the Xperia and the 9900? (I know they have different OS.. blah blah)
Like what's the difference between the Blackberry push e-mail and what the WinMo users get? which one is better? why is it better?
It says wifi, right on the phone in the pic as well.

Hmm...all of the phones on Verizon/ Sprint being WiFi-less makes the sentence "it has wifi" wrong.
Just my subjective opinion, but this product design looks a few years out of date.
But most corporate IT guys won't think so, therefore we'll all be stuck with one sooner or later.........
Not a bad looking device. This might just be my next phone.
Hey, what happened to the 3.2 megapixel camera? Or was I dreaming that one up...? lol
Not that this changes anything. This is definitely my next phone. I can't wait for August.
