AT&T with Pearl Flip?

Is there one for AT&T? My aunt was like, "OMG I like that phone!". lol. I'd love to switch my whole family to blackberries! haha

You can purchase a T-Mobile branded device, get it unlocked, and use it on AT&T.

Ok. Next question. Is it 3G? if not it doesn't really matter or not if it's unlocked. But if it's a 3G device, I'd rather not have an unlocked phone that won't get 3G anyhow. LOL.

No. The Pearl Flip does not even get 3G on T-Mobile. The only 3G BB from T-Mobile is the 9700.

AT&T and T-Mobile use different frequencies for their 3G, so a T-Mobile branded 9700 will not get 3G on AT&T.

You will not have any issues with the T-Mobile branded Pearl Flip on AT&T, since it is not a 3G device anyway.
