The 8900 has a trackball instead of the 85XX series trackpads. Other than that, the 85XX series can connect to more network types. It comes down to preference. IMO the 8900 is truly the evolution of the 83XX Curve. Similar features but an overall improvement. The 85XX series seems to be a budget smartphone from RIM.
