I can confirm your guess. Those aluminum looking sides is definitely plastic. My bold's metal looking edge is already wearing off.

RIM, improve your build quality. Put in metals !]]>May 4th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/
now you tell me why would you rely in Wi-Fi when you are with a carrier with reliable 3G network?? ]]>May 4th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/The E71x is a much better choice with 3G and most likely at a better price point......and its sexy!!]]>May 4th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/
This hopefully means that the Bold will go down in price. ]]>May 4th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/
The Bold has the faster processor (the 8900 only has more memory) and a much better keypad, not to mention 3G. I'd still say the Bold is the better phone, so it's hard to imagine the Bold dropping in price because of the 8900.]]>May 4th 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/
Oh, your mom is definitely not lacking in push or pull functionality and she is capable of 3G speeds, multitasking, thirds party apps….everything this end user needs.( I never thought posting on Engadget would prompt some yo’ momma shenanigans)

Thats may not be case, the Bold is being phased out, there will be a 3g device that shares more in common with the 8900 (even the 524 vs 624mhz cpu, although I don't know why) then the Bold. Plus the bold in inferior in features you can write down as tick-marks for consumers. It has less battery life (if only by a bit), a 2 vs 3.2 mp cam, and a lower resolution, albeit brighter, screen.

@David

I don't think anyone really care that you called the E71x sexy,as it is a pretty great looking device, not to mention as great functioning device. But being so quick to dismiss the 8900 just because it is not as slim and does not have 3g is a bit naive.]]>May 4th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/
Of course the Bold will eventually be replaced by a nicer phone; that's the nature of the phone business. That's irrelevant to the comparison with the 8900, which you claim has more "tick-marks for consumers" but which are these exactly? A bright screen, faster CPU, nicer keypad and especially 3G are just as important of a set of tick-marks as more memory, higher resolution and a better camera.]]>May 4th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 4th 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/May 5th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/rims-blackberry-curve-8900-officially-hitting-atandt-in-early-su/
