Great phone! I've had em all, and I'll tell ya now that they all have there fair share of issues! Not a fan of the size of the bold, and I happen to have big bands. The 8900/Or Tour have felt the best IMO. The only difference is carrier related. The Tour is a beast, but call quality is terrible. And the 8900, which feels similar has no 3G. I wound up cancelling my vzw account, and am very happy with my 3G-less curve 8900...
