Isnt that an web based app like ebuddy? I really would prefer an actual java app maybe as i dont feel web apps are that secure. Also that MR link doesnt show any BB 9000. Anyone got a link?

Yes as long as you change the PIN in your BIS account

So is jivetalk an actual app that you install or just some online thing like ebuddy?

It is a Java app, it is an actual app that you install it is not web based it is installed on the phone, it does not redirect you to a website it runs quite happily in the background all day and alerts you to any new messages.

So is it worth getting one of the existing ones or waiting for the 9000? Also what size screen is the 9000?
I really hope they dont ship it with just 2mp camera.
Also can a BB be bought sim free and just used with your normal contract sim card? And if i have a data bundle will that be valid also or do i need a BB specific tarrif? Im not interested in push email.

The 9000 is slated for July August so that is really up to you if you want to wait. In reference to the screen I there has been no official word on the phone so nobody really knows at this time. Reference to the camera nobody knows.
A BB can be bought sim free and just used with a normal contract, you normal data bundle will not work for things like BB email etc but I believe you should be able to browse. But you will find that this is kind of defeating the purpose as things like BB Messenger etc will not work and it kind of cripples the BB in its own sense.
