Man…I can’t believe so many of us are waiting for an Android phone with UMA…these guys are stone deaf. UMA is probably a bigger enticement to go with T-Mobile than their unlimited 79.99 plan but they just don’t know it…the marketing team at T-mo needs get fired over this oversight. To add insult to injury a hot phone like cliq that could have been UMA capable from the factory was ordered without the chipset…wow!!! I agree I will buy the 9700 but I won’t be happy about it, like the other guy I’ll wait a few months if UMA doesn’t appear on an Android..I will jump ships and get the Iphone 3GS.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the woman I spoke to said that the Blackberry 9700 most likely won’t be available for pre-order but will be getting it sometime this month. She said she couldn’t give me an actual release date until they have permission to do so. She said the date for release is still up in the air, but will notify you if you go to the website and click on “Discover” and then “Innovation” and go to the bottom of the list and click on the “Blackberry Bold 9700″ and then click on “Notify me when available”.

I am happy that this phone will come out THIS month and will most likely be the 16th as previously stated, however, how does T-Mobile choose which phones go on pre-order and which ones don’t. Can anyone answer this question for me? I am just curious as only certain high end models are available for early release via pre-order. Its a little confusing to me.

despite rumors still no official announcement. Don’t think this puppy will be out by the 16th. I smell yet another delay. First September, then October, then early November, then mid November, will it even be out this year?

I was torn between getting this bb or waiting to see if the N900 would drop before Christmas. The little outage we had last night has made up my mind for me since I know the 9700 has uma and I do not think the n900 does even though it is wifi enabled. I am getting this phone as soon as it is released. Ima be at the T-Mo store waiting for them to open when this is released! Anybody want to buy a curve8900?? Ima have one for sale real soon. lol Does anybody know if this phone has or will be upgradeable to the new browser?
