Default Not coming to TMO

Sorry nerds, but this isn't coming to T-Mobile USA. You can now cry yourself to sleep.

Nah. T-Mobile is passing on the Pearl for 2010. This isn't trolling. This isn't false news. This is what is happening. I have an 8120 and have been dying for the 9100 and was pretty upset when I heard it myself.

They will have a device this year to add to their big lineup of 2, but I was told it is definitely not the Pearl. Think touch screen.

Default really?

there have been devices in the wild that clearly show 1-4-8 and that with the wifi and the long history=tmo to me.

but this was destined for at&t. the at&t leaked lineup last year had this listed for 2010. so i am not surprised that tmo will not get it first. although it may get it in the later months. also pics at wes 2010 showed it running on at&t. i did not see 1 running on tmo at all. also online articles have it slated for at&t 3g and wifi.
just take a look:

From RIM's US site: BlackBerry - Pearl 3G Specs - BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 Specifications

Quote:
Wireless Networks

* Tri-band UMTS networks: (800/850)/1900/2100
MHz and 900/1700/2100 MHz
* Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
I suppose it's possible that T-Mobile wouldn't retail it (then simply unlock it), but I find that highly unlikely.

att is an easy $ 40 more a month than tmo for unlimited voice/data/text - I have zeros issues with tmo, seldom lose a call and excellent customer service. I don't want to even thing what I will do if tmo does not get this, I have been looking forward to dumping what I have ever since I gave a 9700 a month test ride.

I am just sharing what I have been told. AT&T is working with RIM to make this device official. TMO is not. Can't say anything for Verizon or Sprint as they haven't made the CDMA version.

I can't provide a link or source to RIM and T-Mobile contacts. That makes no sense.

If you choose not to believe me, fine. However, I suggest you make other plans if you want a 9100 on TMO.

I will update this post with "I told you so" later.

I can say that at this time, T-Mobile does not have the 9100. That does not mean they will not be getting it though. Right now their focus is getting the Garminfone & the MyTouch Slide out.

How can anybody know anything for sure? Since it has not been officially released to the sheep just yet. TMO peeps relax and just see how this plays out.

Interesting that they were already calling the new Pearl the "Pearl 3G". Something being discussed in another thread right now... http://forums.crackberry.com/f197/pearl-3g-464323/
