 Almost the best cel phone to date June 23, 2010
Ariel Leonor (Santiago, Dominican Republic)
This is almost the best cel phone out there.
Lightweight, nice design, nice size, comfortable keybord. It's almost Perfect.
If this phone had 3G, it'd be the best phone to date... So i think phones like Bold 2 wouldnt exist, as this one wouldnt miss a thing.
Great product! If you dont miss 3G, a must have!
 nice phone but there is a catch February 25, 2010

If you are not planning on using this phone for the phone browser, do not get an att phone. They will force a media package on you for the minimum of $30 on top of your regular phone charges. I already have att internet at home and I consider this excessive. I offered to be put on a data connect plan so that if I chose to use the browser on emergency situations that the charge would be rather expensive ($2 per mb or something)...so I tried to get around it but lay the responsibility on myself. I also tried calling in with a different phone and giving that IMEI number, but apparently they are tracking what phone I used even the day before. I am seriously considering going to another carrier in which I have been a customer since 2000. Now, if you want the extra charge and the browser package I think this phone is great. The color is unbelievable during a video. I enjoy the MP3 player alot. The layout is not so convenient but easy to handle once you figure it out. The reception is clear and I dont get any complaints. SO the phones great but att is forcing a payment for enjoying it. So I recommend not getting this phone with att.
 Phone Has Chronic Track Ball issues...skip this version! February 9, 2010

I was really looking forward to having this phone. Great keyboard layout, good productivity, etc....THEN I had troubles with the track ball. Today, I had to call for my FOURTH replacement of this model. All but one time had a problem with the track ball stalling, slipping and plain not working. The first one took several months and was a gradual decline...the one sitting in front of me is stalling and jumping as soon as I put the battery in.
Apparently RIM no longer makes this phone with this trackball. They quickly skipped to the next version with a TRACK PAD!!!! I would RUN DO NOT WALK from any blackberry with a trackball. The way this particular phone is designed, only RIM can repair the track pad, and the way it is designed it is IMPOSSIBLE not to get dirt and grime on and IN the trackball, and equally guaranteed it will need to be repaired. Did I mention that this is ALL under warranty?
I know people LOVE their crackberry. If, luck of the draw you get one bad phone, like I did, you are in for a rude awakening. All I could ever get is a refurbished replacment phone, and none have worked properly (including one that had no bluetooth or wifi whatsoever). I feel that I have been caught in some horrible cycle of inheriting other people's problem phones. I have been in refurbished Blackberry HELL. What has astonished and frustrated me most is the incredibly poor accountability by either T-Mobile or RIM. Not to mention the expense to pay for shipping each time the phone had to be replaced, the hours to replace all contacts and calendar, re-setting up email (I don't bother any longer), find and re-download all apps, ringtones (though 3rd party paid apps were mostly lost), and putting my own settings back. Apps cannot be backed up or transferred...so I use my phone less and less due to nature of not wanting to become dependent on it again (kinda not the point of having a PDA)
I hope it is a fluke, my experience. But it has been an exercise in frustration, and no one doing right by me. I paid a LOT for this phone, and NEVER had one that did not have a problem. RIM does not seem to stand behind their products, from my experience. If it is a fluke, should be no problem to send me a NEW 8900, or a replacement with a longer than 90 day warranty. Sadly, I do not trust this phone, RIM or T-Mobile to properly support their products. And I do not want anyone else to have to go through the misery of dealing with a 2 week old phone that does not work when hundreds of miles from home (Like me).
Based on what I have learned, and am now an expert: do NOT buy an 8900!!!! You are taking a chance, and you are pretty much guaranteed your trackball will lose its function sooner or later...and $$$$$ to fix.
I am doubtful I would buy a RIM product again.
P.S. if you want to sync with your Mac, you MUST be running Leopard or Snow Leopard. Any other operating system, like Tiger you are out of luck!

I have had this phone for 3 months and have kept it in mint condition - 2 days ago I was texting on it when the screen when white and a small black spot showed up on the inside of the screen. When I took it to the warranty exchange they told me that they consider this damage that I created and won't honor the warranty. I have NO clue how this crack could have formed considering the outside doesnt even have the slightest hint at damage. Be careful when using this phone.
