I've now decided against the G1. Battery life is big deal for me. I want a qwerty keyboard though. I'm getting the BB curve or the BB 8900. Is there a huge difference in the two devices? There's a $100 price difference on the line and I'd like to know what extras I get with the 8900 for the $100 more.

The 8900 def does more, but i think its to small, it feels more like a toy rather than a phone, the keys are to small imo, Id get the sunset curve.

There's not a difference in the sunset or titanium curve, right? I see everyone recommend the sunset. Just wondering.

I think that's what I'll do now. Go and try them both at the store.

8900 is barely smaller than the 8320, it's thinner and more rounded but other than that they are the same size.  The processor is wayyy faster on the 8900, camera is better, screen is brighter and it also has GPS.

sounds like a plan to me, as far as the keys though it seems like the keys are smaller on the 8900 and not as spaced out as the sunset curve

For me its really not that big of a difference as I had the 8320 and now the 8900. I would recommend the 8900. The screen blows the 8320 away. The camera is a 3.2 Megapixel and the processor as Enzo has said is way faster than the 8320's. Plus I love the sexy design of the 8900. It feels nice in the hand.

Check it out in the store. Also you could maybe order them both and if you like the 8900 just return the 8320 in 14 Days (Buyers Remorse) or 30 Days in California.

I'd say if you want a phone right now go ahead and get it. And then when the TP2 comes out either sell your 8900 or just get the TP2 on another line.

Get the 8900. It's an improved Curve. The 8900 is like a mini Bold. You get a thinner phone, a much better screen (480x360 on 8900, OVGA on 8320), the new 4.6 OS, a usable camera, 4x the amount of RAM and GPS. Also, the 8900 has a 524 MHz which is around 1.5x faster than the 8320's processor. The extra $100 will make you like your phone, not be cursing at it for low memory issues and lag.
Read the forum rules and search!

The 8320's are shipping with 4.5 software now so they have video too

I agree 8900 all the way. my friends and I are all crackberry addicts and they have the older curve and I bought the 8900 the other day and it was jealousy all around. the 8900 blows the latter outta the water.

Yea same here. The 8900 is a really nice BB and I would have to say the best T-Mobile has so far.
