On the plus side of not having 3G is the fact the device has UMA support (I don't think any 3G devices out there support UMA yet - somebody correct me if I'm wrong... am an Addict, not Expert). And I LOVE being able to place calls via WiFi. Saving me TONS of money each month.

there is almost every device that has wifi is uma capable. uma is Unlicensed Mobile Access. if u are using wifi thats what u will see where u usually see signal bars. "UMA". OKAY?

I had the pearl 8100... then moved to the curve 8320. Now I want and gotta have the 8900. The features, the look and the upgrade of the BB, yes, this is truly for me. I get great T-mobile service, to have or not have 3g is not an issue with me at all... otherwise I would have switched to AT&T and it just isn't worth it. Not that there's anything wrong with AT&t, I just seem to get what I need from T-mo.

I had my curve on Tmo, and while I loved the phone, I hated the service. If it wasnt for having a wi-fi router in my house, I wouldnt even be able to use my phone at home. I was in too many resturants and bars that I didnt get reception in. Ive yet to have that with AT&T, and im very happy with my Bold and 3G. I wish tmobile would have worked out better for me. I hated having to leave them for AT&T.

I leave T Mobile for Verizon (storm) and bam, they get this...
Although, I have an issue with never being happy with the gadgets I use. :P

I was at the local verizon store yesterday. The sales person mention that verizon was going to release 8 new phones mid to late Feb. The new line up includes a new BB phone. He indicated that it would be the new curve. Any one else hearing this?

I had t-mobile with my old company and hated them. I did love having the ability to talk through the wifi though. at&t doesn't have that capability, at least last I checked. I left t-mobile. I have seen at times where you said there is a possibility of the new curve coming to at&t. Is that still a valid statement?

I actually got the Curve 8900 on Dec 26 (Boxing Day up here in Canada). It is my first Blackberry and I absolutely LOVE it.

Thats cool. Seems to me that Rogers in Canada has every phone available. I wish that was the case in the US

I am sure it is in the forums somewhere. But basically on your blackberry, After you turn on your wifi on your phone and connect to your router, you should see it turn to wifi and you should be able to make calls. If you have t-mobile it will work.

you have to call tmobile for that. they will set your plan for HOT SPOT calling. its $10 extra per month. then u can use wifi anywhere and make calls.

i might be over reacting because i hate waiting for anything but i guess we are just being left behind. RIM in north america based company. still when they were launching 8900 T-mobile got it in Germany. then roger got it in canada. now even india has it. India? for cry out loud. india. but being in United States of America. what we get? COMING SOON. can somebodt do something about it. or i am the only one who is having problem with other countries being ahead of us in technology?
