Yes "Coming Soon"..........to Britain. Remember the Bold was out several months before being released in the States.

I guess its all a matter of time. I don't think the javelins delay will be nearly as bad as the bolds though |

Id like to hear what you think about it if you get one.

The only issue I have with the Curve 8900 is the shutter lag with the camera. After you press the button it takes two seconds before the picture is taken. But on the other hand, I don't use the camera very often. |

And could you post some more thoughts/impressions/photos? That would be great! |
Mine is prior to release. T-Mobile Germany should start selling the devices beginning of next week.

I'll post up a short review if I end up getting it... |

I am debating whether to get a QWERTZ version from Germany or to be (more sensibly, I know...) patient and wait for the UK QWERTY version in mid-late Dec. |

They may have it on a T-Mobile contract on launch I feel, there is not an iota of fact to back this up. Just my personal feeling. |
CW is now letting customers pre-register.

If not you can always pre-order over at Smartphone, Pocket PC & Ultra-Mobile PC Store - eXpansys UK. |

CPW are fairly good with releases unless a network has an exclusive. Expansys however have become expensive and usually very slow to get handsets. They used to get stuff way before anyone else did but now they're often several weeks or months after the fact and at a higher price. |
wonder if the 4.6 OS will be avail. for the curve 8310 as well?

Got mine today from Germany (courtesy of a very kind BB Forums member).
First impressions (as I can't set it up on our BES for a few days at least): - Build is great. Not as hefty as the Bold and smaller (felt tiny and toy like having used the Bold for a few months! ;-)) but solid, great design. Same size as the Curve, but sharper design all round. - Screen is great. Pin sharp - smaller again than the Bold but excellent. - Processor doesn't feel any slower than the Bold -this may be more apparent when multi-tasking. - Camera is a great improvement simply for AF, if nothing else. It is slower, but that's entirely as a result of the AF working. Otherwise, better. - Trackball is good - faster and responsive. Keypad is stiffer than the Bold, much more like the Curve. - dedicated lock key and redesigned mute key very nice, and useful. Really nice in the hand. That's all until I can get a chance to get it properly running. I can say though that if you're a fan of the Curve, and can do without 3G, you won't be disappointed. Will check tonight whether it is compatible with the Curve charging stand or not. EDIT: not compatible with the Curve charger - slightly different shape so the 8900 won't sit in the Curve cradle. |

So back on target for my own Xmas present! |
I had a play with one at my local CPW today. Arrived this morning. I'm not due for an upgrade until late Jan, sadly.
