Good day. This can be kind of an “non-traditional” question , but have other readers asked you how obtain the menu bar to look just like you’ve got it? I also have a weblog and am really planning to alter around the theme, on the other hand I’m scared to death to wreck havoc on it for concern of the various search engines punishing me. I’m really not used to all of this …so i am just not positive precisely how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here

I've had this phone for three days. When I got it I noticed what a nice looking phone it was and how crystal-clear the display was. Initially, it seemed like a great upgrade from the 8330. However, on Day 0, the "y" key went on the blink. It was working 8 out of 10 times I pressed it. On Day +1, I noticed that the keyboard was loose and moving around (not an uncommon issue, I guess). This really made me mad. Between that and the loose battery cover (another common complaint), it felt really awkward trying to type. On D +2, I noticed that the lower right-hand corner of the screen was loose. I could press it down and it would make a creaking sound. I should mention that I never dropped it, I treated it like gold, and always used the (lousy) holster it came with. Needless to say, this is a very flimsy product. Maybe I got a lemon, but I've heard a lot of similar complaints about the 8900.

Aside from the hardware issues, I was very dissapointed with certain features of the OS. When I got the phone, the Maps and Navigator icons were on the desktop. However, the Maps icon seemed to simply vanish and I've been unable to find it! When I clicked on the Navigator icon to set up the service, it went through the download and then that icon disappeared! I had to go through the web browser to get to the Navigator, and then it told me I needed to download Flashplayer. After waiting 20 minutes for that download, I gave up. My other chief complaint is the lag in opening and running some applications. It takes a full 10 seconds for the camera to load after launching it, then it hangs up quite a bit when navigating through the app. Very counterproductive to photography.

Overall, I am very dissapointed with this phone. It's too bad, since it is a nice looking phone and I like the overall setup of the OS, with the menus and ability to move from app to app. I think we'll be looking into the iPhone. Rating: 2 / 5

I’ve been waiting for AT&T to offer the curve 8900 and it was so worth the wait! It does everything the 8310 does but so much more. Email, text, video, camera, Wi-Fi, music, organize, and yes it has a phone too! I love bells and whistles and if you love em too then this is the blackberry for you. It does take a while to set up and tranfer all data from one blackberry to the new one but don’t let it get to you. After the setting up is all done you will be pleased. 3G what? You don’t know what your missing if you’ve never had it to miss, that’s all I have to say about that. Go ahead and test drive the 8900, I promise you, you will not regret it!
