hmmm
I work for a mobile operator on tech support and the GPRS only feature of the curve is a major bugbear for most customers, so this is a welcome move.
However, one cant help but wonder if the fact that its now a 9000-series phone, if the price is going to go up. The Bold, for the fact that its a technically inferior phone to the 8900 Curve, its over £100 more for the SIM free handset, so having the curve go 3G and 9000 series, just worries me is all
One important difference
Is the keyboard. I hated the 8900 so much I got the bold instead, and have since had much better spelling!
THAT picture does not have the same keybd as the curve, but as the bold - this time in the nicer shell. I for one would take that over both the curve and the bold. (especially given that the ringer on my bold packed in today.)
Roll on the Tour pls....
specs?
so basically a curve 8900 (amazing phone btw, unlike the poster further up I actually prefer it's keyboard to the bold), but with 3G?
I wouldn't personally pay more just to have 3G (GPRS gives me about 15kbs (on average, usually it varies between 9-17), for a mobile device that is sufficient for me...), but it's great that those who want it get the choice :o)
interested in seeing the full specs to compare it to the 8900 (yes, now that I have a phone I must of course lust after every other device out there and compare it to the one I have)
