Blackberry Curve (aka. Javelin) 8900 Launches on Rogers

[k_dam]

can anyone comment vis-a-vis the voice quality and reception on the blackberries (i guess the curve/bold would be a good comparison - as there is no rogers 8900 out as of yet) compared to the krzr (that I am currently using - and quite happy with the reception capabilities - even though it cannot hold a call in the elevator (as advertised on the rogers commercial!!))

Thanks,

I can tell you about the speaker quality. I use the speaker almost daily and one of the questions i use to ask on the other end is, 'does it sound like your on speaker?' - they always say no

in the past with my home phone/cheapo cell phone aka my old motorola v300 you can hear the background sounds/echo if someone or myself was on speaker, with the blackberry, you dont get that. I think it has to do with the noise cancellation technology they have.

how do you find reception as compared to the v300 (i am aware that this is not a fair comparison)

Nice find. Now we wait for Treatz to post the launch thread, since the pictures are his.

Very tempting to get the Javelin instead of the Bold, just the whole 3G issue. I'm not a very heavy browser, I only really do on my phone when I need to find out movie times, or a phone number, etc. EDGE should be pretty good for that, shouldn't it?

very unfair comparison lol but its fair to say the blackberry's reception has always been very superior

This is exactly how I use the BB browser and EDGE (movie showtimes, weather, a bit of news). I've always found it more than fast enough.
