Behold vs BB 8900
What are the major differences between these two phones? I understand the basic differences like touch screen vs key pad, 5MP vs 3MP camera etc. I went through the comparison chart and could not understand certain features.
1) GPS - Both phones have GPS capabilities. Does that mean if i sign up for their data plan i can use it as GPS device for driving directions?
2) WIFI - 8900 has WIFI but behold does not. Both phones more or less require a data plan and in that case how does a WIFI differ?

The 8900 is not 3G. The web browsers are both full HTML, but I prefer the 8900's. The 8900 will run circles around the Behold when it comes to battery life. Both phones are very ergonomic and sleek. As a user of the 8320 and G1, the Behold is hard for me to adjust to. I'...

I'd go with the 8900 if you are a grown up. The behold feels like a toy to me.The 8900 is sweet and can really be used as a smart phone.
