Snap Dragon is the new Qualcomm superfast (1Ghz) processor. Do a search for HTC HD2 and you will find a phone that makes the iPhone screen look tiny. It is rumored to be released by Tmobile in early 2010.

Mighty enticing, but I’m holding out for the HD2.

@30014…. I tend to agree with you. While I am a Blackberry user and lover, the Blackberry isn’t the real flashy device that brings people in like an iphone or a android. The 9700 has gotten zero pub to let people know it’s coming out. The storm2 has had a commercial. I think for what most people want out of a phone the Blackberry does not meet their expectations. I will be picking this device up Monday. I’m hoping it won’t sell out, but I’m sure it won’t.

Since this is not exclusive to tmo I don’t see it bringing in any new customers. People typically don’t get excited over blackberries unless they already own one. I had my 8320 for less than a year before I switched to android. I do not miss the frozen screens or the constant battery pulls. Blackberry is a one trick pony(email). That’s just my personal opinion, so u blackberry lovers don’t take it personal. Android rules.

Well, John, I’ve already detailed that in my situation tmo isn’t giving me more for less (as compared to big red) so you fail there. Nice try though. By the way, I wonder how come sprint and tmo were the only carriers to lose subscribers in the third quarter? Very interesting.

Also, we were all talking about wanting good high end phones. Not cheaper rate plans. Is that clear? Retention, at least for us, comes with phones (the 9700 is a start), but the diddly cliq, and anemic mytouch 3g can go back to 2007 where they may have been crave worthy. Hd2, n900/920, snapdragons, tegra, or omap 3 would be a sample of what i’d like to see in order to stick around.

And yes, I’ll let my money do the talking..

You will be required to switch to a current contracted data plan ($30/mo+) if you would like to take advantage of the discounts on the phone.

If you do not like the new data prices that will give you access to the phone discount, keep your old data plan and buy the phone no contract. $450 for the phone and save $240+taxes and fees over 2 years… you will wind up paying less.

Be happy they let you keep old plans, they do not need to. Try telling comcast you want your plan from 1998 back.
