Maybe TMo dumped UMA (Look at the current lineup: only Shadow & blackberry’s have UMA now and they don’t advertise that or let you search for wifi calling anymore) because they plan a google voice enabled android voip phone! We could only hope. That would fit right in to what I had suggested awhile back in that the cell co’s seem to be moving toward unlimited data as the base & voice calling being an add-on to that. If that was the case I wouldn’t mind paying $30/month for unlimited data because my voice calls might not even be metered or super cheap since it’d fall into the unlimited data use.

i’ve been holding out for a real UMA smartphone for a while now. if t-mo doesn’t offer one i’ll stick with what i have and the swtich to vrizon when i don’t have to pay any early termination fees. maybe the rumored ‘googlephone’ has voip/UMA and whatever phone company has it, that’s the one i’m going to.

Just picked up my Bold on 11/28/09, I had the 8520 and I am in LOVE with this phone.. So snappy and the battery life ROCKS. I am a Twitter-holic so I need something that can last as long as I do. Great Phone

I too shelled out the money to get the Cliq and so far it’s pretty neat. It is so much faster than my Blackberry Pearl even on the Edge network in Cincinnati. I don’t even care about not having 3G here anymore, lol. This Android OS is definitely going to take some getting used to, but the capabilities seem endless. I hope it at least gets upgraded to Donut soon so I can get the Google Maps update.

None of the phones are for customers under contract now. I have had a phone for 1 year. T-mobile wanted me to pay $400 for the Blackberry 9700!! Are you kidding me? $400? I can buy a cheap laptop for less. They considered $400 a discount from their “retail” $499! I said it would be cheaper to break my contract and go to sprint for a new and Better Android phone than they have.

i picked up two 9700s on friday for $150 each. both lines on our account we eligible for upgrade. i had originally planned to buy them earlier in the week, but then i found out about the $50 off.

as for UMA on the 9700, it works just fine with my linksys.

As for the promo, the phones were 50 dollars off for Even More Plus, New Acts, or Qualified upgrades.
All you had to do was go in the store and inquire about the pricing, plain as day. Cust care should have seen on the phones during the upgrade screen how it was lower.
It wasn’t a gimmick or trick, just cheaper.

I got mine on Nov. 16th. I am absolutely in love with it also. It is a world of difference over the older models. I think all the phone manufacturers are going to the micro usb chargers now though. I got a charger from every country myself.

$50 off deal applies to 9700, Cliq, and Highlight. Will work for contract or no contract for new and existing customers. No need to say, “Fail” at sales, folks.

Picked up my 9700 for $150 @ the TMO store on 11/27, had 2 renew contract of course for 2yrs. I luv this phone I can’t believe how a little thing like using data features & talking on phone @ same time can improve life. I also am getting $75 for my BB 8820 thru the trade-in program
If you are a BB fan, u will luv this phone
One small complaint I am pissed @ BB for changing the USB connector on the 9700 now I have to go buy a new car charger
