for the person who said australia is only running off the 2100 for 3g is only half right... the also use the 850 3g. i have a pearl 8100 and the 3g hsdpa is the only downfall of the phone, its a must especially for a pda/smart phone in the market these days

Correct about Australia using the 2100 MHz band for 3G. AS for it not being ecnomically viable to make multiregion phones; how come other manufactures do it. Sounds like a cop-out to me. 3G and HSDPA is a mandatory requirement if BlackBerry wants to remain as the preferred business phone. So RIM bring on the 8900.

it's not just the wi-fi that's upgraded from the original. the camera now has video recording function, the bluetooth supports A2DP stereo profile, spellcheck and the memory card is in a slot on the side not underneath the battery. O2 have this handset exclusively and I have had the chance to play with it, it's a fantastic device and I will be getting my hands on one to replace me existing pearl.

i say this as a rim supporter. i have been using the pearl for what seems like for ever now (since it launched over xmas i think) and as much as i love the key pad and email, there arent enough upgrades to make this switch worth it. wifi is nice and all but id rarely use it. and video recording is nice, along with making folders on my desktop, but it isnt a worth while upgrade to my pearl. rumors about the 9100 keep me tantalized that maybe a 3g berry will come bc as much as i love the email reliability, some entertainment would be awsome. oh, 1 last thing, would it kill rim to put a better screen on 1 of these. my old w810 provided more entertainment then the 8120. but hey, i like rim for being all business. guess ill have to wait.

get your facts right before posting. Australia doesnt use 800 for its 3g. it uses 850/2100.

3G specs are very different between continents!!! North America uses 850/1900 meanwhile europe/asia use 2100 and australia/japan use 800. Therefore, it is a waste of money to make it a worldwide 3G at this moment!!

When is RIM going to wake up and realise that business users want 3G & HSDPA???
Cameras and video are nice to have options but 3G is mandatory.
RIM needs to focus on what the end-user needs and not on the network providers marketting strategy. Otherwise the competition will.

No matter what RIM put into these things there will always be people who are moaning, if they had put a 5MP camera in someone would moan that they should be on 10MP by now. If you want a 5MP camera, buy a K850i, if you want 3G, buy a K800i for crying out loud but if you want a fantastic little email machine that NOW COMES WITH WI-FI LIKE EVERYONE SAID THEY SHOULD then buy one of these gems. Stop complaining people, life's short.
