It’s probably not your phone getting bad reception, it’s T-Mobile’s coverage. Call CS, threaten to switch service providers because of this and they’ll give you a Cel fi signal booster

I called about my order way back on launch date (store had sold the 5 they had in 1 second once they opened the door) and was told they would not know anything about the status of my order till the 24th. I am getting the feeling that I will not have my phone until almost a full month after launch date.

FYI – Okay, spoke to soon….I was able to get Google Maps to load, via RIM website. They suggested going to http://www.google.com/gmm. That took me to a d/l page that installed the app normally. Works great! As for the other apps I’m still trying….

Has anyone else had problems installing Google Maps, GMAIL, or Yahoo Go! on their 8900? So far I have not been able too. I think T-Mobile is blocking these apps, which makes no damn sense. Why pay for 2, 3, $400 for a phone, only to have them block some of the most popular apps out there?

Ordered my 8900 on Wednesday. Was told yesterday that I would not receive it before Feb 23rd at the earliest. WTF?! Does anyone knows what’s going on? Lame logistics from T-Mobile!!!!

I placed an order for the 8900 with Tmobile on Thursday the 12th and the phone is in stock. Today, the phone is on back order and they can’t cancel the order or let me get my full upgrade at a store location until i receive the phone which will be between march 4 and 10th. Absolutely ridiculous.

Why complain about 3g? Tmobile’s 3g network hasn’t even made it to most cities. And if it’s anything like the AT&T 3G network then I wouldn’t want it. Everyone I know with AT&T talks about how their 3g drops down to EDGE all the time, the calls drop frequently. Who cares.

I was one of the lucky ones to get the phone when it came out on 2/11, and I must say that the phone didn’t disappoint. It has GPS, MSOffice, and YouTube support, for starters, which is an improvement in and of itself. Peepz are complaining about 3G, but with UMA and the Opera Mini browser, it makes up for it. And once the 3G network is up in more areas, it’s. safe bet that a 3G BB won’t be too far behind.
