hey guys john r Ettinger here with an unboxing for you of the blackberry curve 8900 for t-mobile this sucker will run you 149 on a two-year contract it's been a while because we had a black bear that come through here so I'm excited to see what this has to offer this is the newest blackberry 40 mobile service go ahead and carve into the pack there take it out see we got note from the friendly TR foe and some info about the curve look at that in a second let's take out the phone itself there we go throw that on the floor so this came out I believe last month so it's been out for a little while but first time I've had a chance to get my hands on it so I got the t-mobile logo on the front stick together picture a device on the side on the back it lists some of the features highlighted by a 3.2 megapixel camera with a video capture game's high resolution screen it's got Wi-Fi it has GPS built in it does not have 3g however it is only using t-mobile's edge network got a full QWERTY board and all that good stuff let's go ahead and dig on in see what this thing looks like I've always been a big fan of blackberries dating back to my first pearl days and I had 8700 so the device is right on top actually is very small in hand we'll do a size comparison in a minute see what else we get in the box piece of cardboard just lift that up standard blackberry wall charger with qlik they've used moved to microUSB but it's nice they're using a standard we've got a USB to microUSB cable got some headphones it looks like 3.5 millimeter headphone so there must be a 3.5 millimeter jack on the device we've got a carrying case let's see what this carrying case is made out of it it's actual leather or just fake leather see if any Nagas were killed in making this naugahyde this looks like leather not real leather it's 100% genuine naugahyde got a little thing in there and when you put the device and actually has a magnet in there and it'll turn off the whole thing just the screen and buttons will deactivate and finally we've got some getting started material tips and tricks and this and that let's turn the device on and take a look at it should be running the same OS as the BlackBerry Bold and zoom in just a little bit here get a better view of it okay so let's compare it with some other phones you might be familiar with let's use another phone with a front-facing Corti keyboard there is a trio pro they look to be pretty close in size the BlackBerry is nothing a little bit smaller the trio pro is very thin let's see how it stacks up almost the same dimensions there with wise so that's nice goes to show you how small the BlackBerry really is here is the samsung epics for AT&T much bigger certainly thicker but Samsung puts in a monster battery on this thing that counts for the increase in thickness here is the iPhone most people are familiar with the size of the iPhone so it could be a good comparison stack them up on top of each other and see there is a significant difference right there the iPhone is a little bit longer I'll let you check the thickness to be very similar in that dimension as well and another blackberry that I happen to have here it'll be more on this one and future videos coming up later on the blackberry storm stack and book on top of each other and the storm is noticeably thicker let's go ahead and turn this thing on and see if it's got a charge let's see what the boot screen looks like it's a greener with the t-mobile splash screen you don't think I do like about blackberry it's definitely have a short boot up time that was just about it and it does look like the Bulls operating system does icons across the bottom Wi-Fi is on if the battery doesn't have much juice left in it but I will do a full review and I'll talk about the browser the operating system itself keyboard have a screen looks navigation and the usual things that I generally cover my reviews so stay tuned for that for exclusive content be sure to follow me on Twitter twitter.com slash John for Lakers and I'll see you in the next video buh-bye
