My 8900 Review

I received my T-mobile 8900 from UPS today. 
So far, here is what I think:

What I Love:

1.) The Size: 
A little slimmer than the 8300. It's like the Curve went on a diet and lost a few lbs.

  
2.) The Screen:
It's designed differently than the 8300 so I don't think any of that annoying dust can get under it! Also, the screen size is 480x360 but doesn't seem too much bigger than the 8300's screen. The clarity is beautiful though. Here's a screenshot:

3.) The Camera:
It is *awesome* Beautiful pictures and fancier setup:



What I hate:

1.) The themes:
There's only 2 and they're basically the same. The software isn't even out to create themes for the 8900!

2.) The USB charging port:
It's on the right hand bottom side so it's almost impossible to type on while plugged in!
Also, it's a smaller port so 8300 chargers won't fit! That means my car charger won't work for it.

3.) It's ugly:
It's got a face only a mother could love. The tacky chrome bezel makes it look like a toaster. It's going to need some pink on it. Good thing Colorwarepc.com just added them today:


In conclusion, I will not be giving up my 8300 anytime soon. The 8900 is cool, but it's just not as made for us girls as the 8300 is!
