Thinking of getting the Blackberry Curve 8900

Hi all
Im thinking of getting the Blackberry Curve 8900 on O2 as Vodafone have not yet said if they will release it.Was going to get the BB Storm but was advised against it plus the Vodafone tarriffs were CRAZY.

Is this a good smartphone?
Would it work well on O2?
Are O2 value for money?-175 min & 100 txt,unlimited BB email, BB internet service included (i think)for 50eur a month

I would appreciate all the info you guys have?

Does the 8900 have inbuilt 3g and wifi?

Whether its a good smartphone really depends on what you plan to use it for. If it is email it is probably one of the best. If you are looking to download extensive large files OTA it is not because of no 3G.

Tell us what you are looking for and you might get some better advice

OP, just be aware that you will have difficulties using the Internet based features on the handset if you move network to 3 or Meteor, as they do not support the Blackberry service and therefore will not be able to support certain features on any Blackberry handsets.
