Who's gonna upgrade there 8900 to a 9630 and who's staying with there 8900 and why

[Bajanbastard]

If you're moving to a CRMA carrier i would understand but head to head running on GSM the 8900 is the better BB.

[ExploitS]

When does that even come out? And is it even being on T-Mobile?

[Triggertree]

Staying, reasons why:
1. Just started my contract
2. 9630 most likely No Wi-fi
3. UMA
4. Tmobile pricing rocks

5. GPS will be locked

[coremark]

The 9630 would be a CDMA phone so no, I'd just stay with the 8900

[mauro99]

no wifi that sucks

8900 rocks..... Will the 9630 even be on Tmobile?

What's so great about that phone? Looks like a mixture of 8900 and Bold with less features to me.

[Ashleyx3]

Oh god. I'm staying with my 8900. That's why I don't like getting new phones cause about a week later there's always a new one lol. I love my 8900 though & I think it looks better.

Yeah if it's a CDMA phone then, unless you move away from Tmo or ATT, you wont be able to use it.

8900 has more features and is a GSM phone.. so no I wont be switching phones.

The phone in itself is awesome but of course as soon as the VZW pricks get their hands on it, it becomes a shell of the phone it should and will be on a GSM carrier. How they continue to get away with that is just ridiculous!!!

[rootbeersoup]

9630 is a world phone, FYI... It will work on AT&T and T-Mo

[wall0645]

I'll be sticking with my 8900. I just got it, and love it! I think we'll be good friends for a long time

Good question. Nobody cripples phones like Verizon. They have excellent coverage but you pay for it.

Just because it is a world phone, doesn't mean you can use it on AT&T and TMO. They use two different technologies; Verizon being CDMA. So FYI, the 9630 will NOT work on AT&T and TMO.

[ClintRo]

I didn't think so.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, it just depends on what frequencies the "world" phone can handle. For example the Storm is a "world" phone and it will work with AT&T.

Doesn't world phone mean GSM? There are many storm users who use ATT and T-Mo

People are running the 9630 on GSM carriers right now.

The 9630 is a Quad Band phone that mean's (SM/GPRS/EDGE, single band UMTS/HSDPA (2100MHz only), 1X/EVDO CDMA) it carries all four radios making it compatible for use in all countries . This includes GSM. Yes indeed the 9630 can be unlocked and used on GSM Carriers. This is a fact not speculation

Agreed... 2100 Mhz makes it so

[FobBerry]

I will be sticking with my 8900, why? Because I have just started a new contract and can't move for 18 months. Otherwise I'd maybe consider it, don't think all that CDMA and GSM effects us over here. Not bothered about it having no Wi-fi if you have a data plan then you don't need Wi-fi. But hey, wont be giving up my 8900 just yet. Maybe if the Niagara is out over here in September 2010 then I shall consider it

[ipaul]

People just don't get that the 9630 is a world phone. If you look carefully, you can find a sim card tray

[o_ssie]

Yea it'll work on ATT and TMO but only on EDGE. It doesn't have north american 3G GSM.

So it'll work. But speed will be the exact same as the 8900
