If I change the phone that i have on my account and select the visual voicemail option in my account, would it work on my 8900?

VVM works great on my 8900 too, just needed to change my phone over to a beta 5.0 (348) and change the phone I had listed to a 9700.

Nah. Just click the “Not Your Phone?” button underneath the picture of your phone on the home screen. Change your phone to the 9700, and then the system should recognize the right phone.

Both nice phones, but both are good for very different types of people. If you’re young, dumb, and full of fun, go for the Behold 2. Lots of great media apps, a better camera, and lots of Android goodness to play around with. If you’re older and stodgier and boringer, go for the BB 9700. Good, solid, reliable, with a smaller screen, a physical keyboard, some very nice and reliable features built in, a more limited browser, and a leather holster.

I’m going for the 9700 ’cause I’m old and boring and I need a reliable phone and email device for my business. But don’t think I’m not tempted by the Android phones every time I secretly download and play a new tower defense game for free on my wife’s G1. Then I find out that her phone fired off an email without her hitting Send, and I remember why I’m going back to Blackberry.

As for whether there’s anything else in the works, I doubt it, or we’d have heard about it sooner, like in time for us to buy it on Black Friday. Also, tmonews would have given us some warning. I have yet to see them surprised by something.

my 9700 is waiting for me at home! ugh, stuck at work and i’m dying to go home and get my hands on it. it’s my first blackberry and my first smartphone.
quick question: visual voicemail isn’t showing up for me on mytmobile, do i have to actually insert my sim into the phone first before it’ll give me the option?

Has anyone had trouble getting visual voice mail to work with the 9700? I have the old 19.99 data plan so I had to call 611 to get them to add VVM for me. It still doesn’t work. It keeps telling me it’s not provisioned. Yes, I have pulled the battery a couple times. I’m glad I found the video on crackberry about the battery cover. I almost threw it across the room. Thanks for any feedback.
