I've had this phone for a week and like others have said its the best phone in both low range and high range, bear in mind this is not my first BlackBerry. I've had a wide range of phones and not many of them can step to this one . It has everything you need plays videos in every format, even in .mkv. The only downfall to this phones is that you cannot edit pictures, but then that is the same as any other blackberry. This phone is a very reliable phone and get it if you wish but you would never know what the phone really does until you buy one or experience one.

> In reply to Neptune @ 2009-11-16 10:22 from R5hd - click to readThe main advantages of the 8900 are the 3 mpx camera, xvid/divx support and the higher res screen (480 x 360?). Although the screen on the Gemini (this one) is only qvga (320 x 240) color look nice. The 2mpx cam is ok in sunlight but otherwise you can't do much with it. But the trackpad seems to run smoother than the trackball. i also think than the Gemini looks nicer with the all-black color scheme. But for half the price (in my country) you really only would be affected by not being able to see divx and xvid videos. I think it's worth it. I will only trade this in for the Onyx (bold 9700) or I'll just wait for BB to make something with a 3mpx + Autofocus or a 5mpx camera. That's all BB is missing out on. Multimedia creation.

I would believe that downloads are free too. I haven't been charged anything. If you don't activate the BIS, then you have the option of using wi-fi.

What a terrible phone , never have i seen , used or heard of such a useless device! I strongly urge any potential buyers to stay as far away as possible from any blackberry phone. I would rather use the old nokia 5110 thats been stuck to gether with prestick than use a blackberry. Even Prince looks nicer than the phone and a type writer has more functionality.

> In reply to karagiannis @ 2009-11-14 14:50 from 0V7s - click to readdid you activate your blackberry service on your contract? in account to the bluetooth you need to pair the 2 phones first and the you can send using bluetooth, go to pictures or music after pairing the 2 devices and select receive using bluetooth and then it will receive the pic or music, learn how to use a blackberry first before you start saying bad things about it. blackberry is the best phone ever. u cant run before you can walk!!!!!!

BB users...Is it possible to connect to the internet through the BB? Another question since it's free internet, is the downloading also free?

One more question: what happens if I delete the push content from my cache? I delete history, cookies and cache but when I delete push content it always asks me to confirm so (this being my 1st bb) I dont know if that's important. Thanks to anyone that replies.

Does anybody have this problem? Sometimes when I post a reply on this page and it says that my comment has been saved to the DB, when I try to read the comment mine doesn't show up. I think its only when I reply. Anyone else have that?
