Can’t wait for this phone to come out! I really was waiting for the blackberry bold but im sick of waiting and I talked to someone at T-mobile and on the phone and it may not even come to T-mobile and if it does it wont’t be till next year sometime! That’s a long wait and when your Pearl is acting up and the speaker thingy dont work anymore (have to use bluetooth or speaker phone to talk on the phone) I’m ready for something new! I think the filp is cool. I was all set for the Bold but the flip will have to do!

Joann,

The HTC Advantage is not a T-Mobile phone. The Advantage sports HSDPA/UMTS (2100 MHz for Europe, 850/1900 MHz for USA) Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz. The device lacks WCDMA IV (aka AWS) 1700/2100 band as required to access 3g in the US.

@ neo
Dude. Don’t become holden 2.0. The pearl flip DOES have UMA I work for tmobile and its all over our official employee information. PLUS the GM of my call center is currently using this phone and I was taling to him about it today and he specifically mentioned using it with his UMA at home. I’m not sure where you got your infor but double check it, its wrong. Now that I have played with this phone I’m more excited about it. The buttons on it are nice and big (much more than the pearl) and easy to use with big thumbs

Just letting everyone on here know, as I have all over the forum. The 8220 (AKA: kickstand,AKA: pearl flip, AKA: whatever you want to call it) does not have UMA support. Has wi-fi but not UMA. So no calls over wi-fi.

This phone looks good and has all the features that make Blackberrys so popular. I’m hoping T-MO will release the Javelin or Bold later this year but I guess that might be a stretch. If nothing gets announced soon I will get this pda.

As for the G1 I will check it out when it hits the stores but its missing some features important to me. I might just get a Blackberry and wait till next years G2.
