BlackBerry Curve 8900 caught on the lam in some T-Mobile store

The good news: odds are decent your local T-Mobile store has a Curve 8900 locked away somewhere. The bad news: you can't have it. Word on the street is that T-Mob staff are under strict orders to keep the 8900 out of shopping bags until February 11, the last rumored launch date we'd heard, so keep saving your pennies... to, you know, bribe a store this week.

It looks like the curve with higher resolution lcd...Not really worth it..Oh also, a new theme it seems.

[Jamesssss @ Jan 6th 2009 10:15PM]

Yeah, and with both wifi and gps, x4 flash memory, 3.2mpx camera, and a processor almost as fast as the bold. Also far better looking, so all in all, not really worth it?

I own one, and yes it's a pretty much a Bold/9000 without the 3G radio and a bigger better screen, smaller keyboard, in a smaller package.

to add to your comments:
this new curve looks a lot better than the bold(sucks!)

They already have these in Canada at Rogers. We have had them for over 2 weeks now. This is the same as the Bold. Canada had the Bold months before U.S had it. Yay for blackberry being a Canadian company.

Are the keys on this phone bigger than the palm centro? I currently have the pearl 8120 on t-mobile and would like to upgrade to a full qwerty blackberry, but not if the keys are as tiny as the palm centro. Would I be better off waiting for the Bold?
