Crap! Sprint lists the 9670 as EOL in August!
- This pic just showed up at AndroidCentral:http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint...id-smartphones The article and picture of upcoming EOL devices focuses on Android devices but tucked along with them seems to be the Style.07-26-11 10:45 AMLike 0
- It would be okay if they had a new clamshell design coming out but they don't. My husband, my son and myself all love the flip form factor and I dread going back to the bar style BB when my Style finally dies. Why don't more people like this phone or have they just never tried it?

I love my Style and will be passing it on to my oldest daughter. She's been eyeballing it for months now. It'll be a HUGE upgrade from her rinky dink little 8330. It's a fantastic device that just never got the chance to show it's potential.

experiment 626 and lenrob like this.07-26-11 12:02 PMLike 2 - I never tried the style but I had the pearl flip and if they could speed it up I would still own one! I don't like paying for data on a phone like the flip when you can get a Android device that does so much more.

Picture a teen BBM'ing with her friends, a group of ladies out on the town uploading a photo to Facebook, or a professional woman emailing and managing her busy schedule with her Style.
They could have had one about phone envy. A woman goes to work with her new Style and her coworkers admire it so much they want to go out and get one of their own.
RIM could have even played on the name... "Be stylish" or "Be stylin with the world's only flip smartphone...the BlackBerry Style."
Instead it starred a guy who sells sneakers. He flips his Style closed and slips it in his shirt pocket displaying the back of the phone on the outside. WTF???07-27-11 09:13 PMLike 0 - Aren't all the current blackberies near their EOL for carriers since the new models are being ushered in?

- Saw two almost new ones on craigslist a couple days ago. They got snatched up fast!
There was some speculation of a Style 2 with a touchscreen and QWERTY, but it'll probably get the axe, unfortunately.

If it breaks with the insurance will she get another style or something else?? I was actually thinking about replacing my 8330 with the style simply becasue it was for free and an upgrade, however, I may wait to see if their is a new curve with the same style keyboard coming out.
