Blackbery Bold vs. Blackberry 8900

I'm in the market for a new Blackberry. I have one of the original Blackberry's I think the 8000 or something, it looks similar to the 8310, but probably has less features. My current blackberry has the tracking ball. It's been dropped a number of times, kicked, etc. and works great. I've been extremely happy.

Time for a new one. I use it for e-mails and I'm not a fan of the new touch screens like th IPhone. It is a work phone, but I would like it to have video capabilitiy.

By the way, I'm with ATT. Which would you recommend based on my needs? By the way, I don't use it as an MP3 player, but I'm thinking about using it as a golf GPS. I don't need any GPS function, I've got one.

I look foward to your comments.

I have a Bold and played with the 8900. I was asked if i would like to be swapped into the 8900. No way. Bold hands down.

I searched on youtube to learn a little more, and it looks like the Bold is the better phone, also has video which is handy.

I don't think the 8900 has wifi, it'll extend your battery life and faster web browsing. Just a thought.

I have an 8900. And yes, it DOES have wi-fi. However, it lacks 3G, meaning the phone is an epic fail.

If you can wait, I would wait a few months for the new Onyx to come out. It is supposed to be the "no compromises BlackBerry." The Onyx has the form factor of a 8900 but contains the same features as a Bold.
