So, they have the phone, AND the money I paid for it, and I'm stuck with a 7105t that's got internal memory problems. I've been waiting for the Bold as well, but now one mgr at my local store says T-Mo is without a doubt getting it, and 3 days later, another mgr in the same store told me that the BB rep was just in, and told them they would be getting a new BB phone, it just would NOT be the Bold. So I don't know what to believe, except that if AT&T can match what I pay for unlimited BB service with T-Mo, I just might jump ship as well. T-Mo's customer service has really taken a nose dive!!

So I'm sure its coming. But ATT better not have 3 months exclusivity on it that's bullshit. If the Bold launched in July like it was supposed to 3 months would be fine. But if this thing comes out in September and tmo doesn't get it till Nov. That's bs. And if tmo doesn't get it at all I'm definatley switching to ATT. Btw tmonews is always wrong about release dates and who will get what. That roadmap you guys have is crap. Everything I’ve heard from my friends at RIM say they’re making a WCDMA Bold for T-Mobile.

Having a 3G network and no BOLD to show for? That's pathetic. How do they let at&t bit them to the punch like that? My loyalty is wearing thin right now, very thin! I have been stuck with the Dash waiting to upgrade to the BOLD, i guess i'll add myself to the long list of new at&t customers. Sad... I absolutely second PDH.

It is NOT magic super sauce that will make your Blackberry omnipotent! Stop drooling & think for a moment - is your Blackberry _that_ much faster on WiFi? No? Why not? 'Cause your hardware & software are tuned for EDGE speeds, so giving them data that much faster doesn't really have that much effect. How about coverage? 3G will be an urban product. Great if you live / work / play downtown but soon as the skyscrapers are over the horizon you'll be heading back into EDGEland. For those of us deep in suburban office parks we'll never see 3G. Then there's battery life. See the Apple suggestions for the iPhone 3G? Turn off *what*? Oh yeah, 3G, it sucks the phone dry like a drunk at an open bar. Same for any 3G, with current phones it's more/faster/sooner-outta-juice. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Blackberry has a brilliantly balanced set of features and finely-tuned hardware, giving up some of it's qualities for 3G may not be as win/win as everyone dreams. Calm down about the 3G already!

Come ON. How f'n lame is that? How do you NOT expect defections to ATT when that's the only 3G device that people who have blackberries (like myself) are willing to upgrade to. And to not even be able to unlock a bold and bring it to TMobile's essentially proprietary 3g network is even worse. Thanks a lot, idiots. I really hate every other carrier and love everything else about Tmobile, but if they actually pull this stunt, and dont have a bold at least announced by November, I swear to god I'm leaving them.
