haha you have no idea.. the 8800 series is what the bold came from, and is quite outdated... on top of that i used to have one and had numerous problems with it, and i know other people that had the same problems too.. dont by old technology, if you have a choice go with the 8330 instead, i loved that phone it was so stable and by far the easiest keyboard ive ever used... im on a storm now and love it but its one of those things that youre either going to love or hate, and i know too many people that are on the hate side lol... in essence, dont get the 8830, the numbers (+70 to 8900) dont mean anything, the 8900 is much better than 8830 (but is only for tmobile at the moment)



what is so great about the 8330 compared to the 8830? And also I've been look at the 8900 but was simply wary about buying a phone that wasonly +70 over another because it seemed like it would not be that big of a deal.

seen this on crackberry its the 9630...sry if this was already posted does anybody have any info on this this is the first time i've seen anything on it

[tko21]

i have the 8900 and loving it. great phone! wish it was 3g..

The only differences between the 8830 and 8330 is that the 8830 lacks a camera/video recorder so not only can't you take pics, but you may not be able toreceive MMS. Curve's a bit smaller. The 8830 is also a world edition phone that can operate on overseas GSM networks. Other than that, the only majordifferences are the keyboard size and, IMO build quality- I thought the 8830WE felt a bit sturdier than the Curve.

Anyway to password protect an application? If I want to only password protect my SMS/MMS can I do that?

I know what you are talking about but the 8830 I saw was the "normal" version I guess you can say. It was built like every other bb andhad the camera etc..

What will the niagra have that the bold won't? Just a smaller size?

 

[freshhh]

how hard is it to change the housing on a 8310?

im damn close to ordering a black housing plus a diff color trackball/bezel.

blacked out curve

also what happens to my phone when i update the OS?
does my phone lose all its info?

 

[shoehead117]

I can't seem to get on NT on my Curve. Every time I try to click a link it won't let me. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Niagara is more so 8900 than 9000.

3.2 MP camera, Micro USB...

Keep in mind the Bold is a phone created WAY back in 2007 even though it only came out last year.

 

[dam itz lou]

I should be getting my 8900 tomorrow. I miss jivetalk. What are some must have programs ?

this has been asked several times in this post.

you may look back through some of the pages, but i believe the answer is to use the Opera Mini browser rather than the built in browser.

 

[bigsupa]

Opera Mini solved my problems of not being able to post on NT.
Maybe it will help you get on.

 

[soulize dp]

I still prefer my blacked-bout Bold to anything out there. And the size is perfect for me!

 

[i3allistic]

anyone know how to get rid of the email delievery confirmation message? before i didn't care for it...but now its getting on my nerves ...i have a BOLDbtw

 

[cucumbercool]

Is 180 good for the 8900? I was talking to tmobile and because of my time with them I was told I would get the phone for that price. Either that or the curvefor 100 I think or the 8230? I think.
