Video: RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 hands-on

 
Hats off to the guys at RIM for their productivity - they've earned their Chrismas bonus this year. In the last few months we've seen four new BlackBerry handsets; messrs Bold , Storm , Pearl and now the new and improved Curve 8900   But during that hustle to get stuff out there, perhaps RIM have slipped up in offering their loyal consumers much of a choice. Aside from being the slimmest BlackBerry to date, at just 0.5-inches, there isn't really a lot that's new with the 8900 - formerly known as the Javelin.   The good news is, the screen is larger with GPS and Wi-Fi added into the mix. Sadly the combination of Wi-Fi and 3G internet remains elusive on a BlackBerry. The new Storm had 3G and no Wi-Fi. The new Pearl and Curve models, the opposite.   Check out our video report as we clasp our hands together and pray to the about-to-pop Virgin Mary for the perfect BlackBerry. Come on, RIM. We know you've got it in you!      Link:  ... (link)
