Tmobile is great…Verizon, Sprint, and ATT are terrible were I live. Willis Texas) Tmobile gives me the best signal…You can have the IPhone and ATT. I will take a Android phone from Tmobile anyday and write my own apps for it.

Do some research and you will find that the BB 8900′s processor pretty much makes the phone 3G. I have had my BB 8900 next to 3G phones from other carriers in multiple markets and my BB 8900 receives content just as fast as the other phones if not faster (in some cases). The 3G label is nice, but the 8900 is up to snuff…try it for yourself.

@David,
Isn’t this BB 8520 going to be on TMO USA’s Prepaid lineup?

Just reading back over the comments and I’m surprised that if there is a T-Mobile insider in the forum why in the name of sanity are you not reporting back to top level management the customer desires/frustration?

I know why….he/she is too busy gulping down the large cup of Kool-aid as well.

What the hell do we need with ANOTHER Blackberry with NO 3G? Are they kidding? Is this the Blackberry that was rumored to be hitting the network Q4 of this year? I do recall the rumor was that it was definitely going to be 3G……
To add insult to injury…this phone is less in features than the 8900. The screen is identical to the Curve 8300. Who gives a rat’s butthole if the tracking is optical? T-Mobile again never fails to disappoint its loyal subscribers. I know what I’m doing the end of this year, maybe sooner. LEAVING.

To me it’s not about wanting an iPhone…mainly a 3G Blackberry. I just want better options other than the current G1. I’m tired of hearing about the G1. People have moved on. T-Mobile fails to deliver customer satisfaction in handsets while other carriers push to give their subscribers variety. I’m tired of being punched in the gut and in the pocket by a group of buffoons running the show at T-Mo headquarters.

HAHAHAHA…..I’ll just laugh off my frustrations this week. I pray for the day my comments are more positive toward the big T. But for now….if they want to keep drinking the toxic batch of Kool-aid they’re stirring then it suits them. They won’t be able to blame anyone except themselves next quarter when the number show more subscribers jumping ship.

CDMA Blackberries are EVDO now adays, it’s sort of like UMTS technologies, or very baseline 3G. EVDO Rev A is their faster speed set, usually only seen in their higher end PC cards and PDAs such the HTC Touch.

@ Danny – I don’t think the CDMA blackberries are technically 3G…I could be mistaken, they are faster than EDGE, but still not to the same specs as 3G…may be that it does not offer simultaneous voice and data, the very essence of 3G.

Am I talking out of my ass or can someone verify this?

@ SpanDee:

I was rocking a 3G enabled 72xx series on Verizon at the end of 2005. Every BlackBerry they’ve sold since then was 3G capable.

True, the 9000 was ATT’s first 3G enabled BlackBerry but it wasn’t the world’s first or the nation’s.

There has to be someone somewhere at T-Mobile who knows when we’ll get ours. There isn’t enough insiders willing to spill the beans.

I personally won’t buy this low end BlackBerry, but if it was priced right and put in a BlackBerry in a Box campaign, it may have a following among the prepaid crowd.

*Agrees with SpanDee* and 3G sucks up battery life anyway, and a lot of places are offering wifi now. I know i have it at home, and probably @ school. Then, my AT&T Internet service gives me the free wifi hotspots @ thousands of locations
