There both great. But BOLD has a little faster processor. What carrier do you have?

8900 is the best on Tmo, But the Bold is best on AT&T.
I was thinkin about gettin an unlocked Bold for Tmo, kuz
I like the size and feel of the Bold over the 8900, but I'd
be takin a loss, kuz the Bold wont have 3G, the enhanced
EDGE, or UMA on Tmo.

Well, I got the 8900 unlocked for AT&T because I simply wanted the 3.2 MP camera which is amazing, and the small and sleek look. I don't care aboutinternet on blackberry because its crappy 3G or not. My friend who has bold says its equally slow to his old curve. So yea i prefer and small and sleek lookand the better camera with the same OS as bold. I have enjoyed the 8900 more than any phone i've had so far.

In my opinion, the Bold is better cuz it has 3G, but the 8900 has a 3.0 MP camera whereas the Bold has 2.0 and it's slimmer. It's up to you. Bettercamera or faster internet.

Yeah I have TMobile and just signed up for the new 49.99 customer appreciation plan...I'm figuring I can add the data plan to it as well right (for anextra 20 or whatever it is a month?)
I know I could buy an unlocked Bold, but if it won't work for TMobile then its no big deal...thanks for the replies so far, I'll check thatHowardForums post now (thanks Manduagi)
Anyone know a way of getting out of a Tmobile contract? Or am I stuck with them...
