    How does the new Curve stack up to the Bold?

    In a nutshell:
    The new Curve has a slightly slower CPU and no 3G. The screen is also slightly smaller but has the same pixel count so the display will be gorgeous. There is also an improved trac-ball on the 8900. The CCD is upgraded to 3.2 Mega-pixels. Smaller and lighter, Wi-fi instead of 3G, this phone should make for a real “Stormy” decision for a lot of people.

    I’ll say this…if the phone came out on VZW and had 3G, I’d take it over the Storm. Nice size, physical keyboard, good screen, etc.
