I read an older thread about the possibility of the Tmobile version of the 9700 Bold having a different processor and/or memory then the At&t/other versions. I just used my Tmobile upgrade on one and my mind won't be changed about it, but I'm just curious if what I read was true and if so, what differences(besides the network) are there?

Thanks

*I searched and most of the relevant topics were more about the network/3G differences.

i'm pretty sure both att and t-mo 9700 are the same spec wise.. u can try reading on gsmarena.com

everything is the same except radio bands.

Thanks for the responses!

I had another question, if anyone knows. I have the option to add unlimited internet for $20 more, or a Blackberry International Email plan. Do I need both? I never leave the country, but I just want whatever services I need to have the phone fully functional so I'm not missing out on any of the neat features.

The only difference between the 2 9700s is the t-mo has UMA calling and their plans cost half as much

also as someone said above the radio bands. most importantly the 3G bands are not compatible.

UMA is huge. Would love this on att in the near future.

The 9700 is the same device for every carrier, Telus/Bell/Rogers get the same one in canada(don't know all the US providers)

but that's not a difference at the handset. That's the network.

I heard UMA is not all that it's cracked up to be (read: call quality is subpar)

I never really have any trouble with ATT call quality. Do you?

Unlimited data plan is all you need.

Call quality is crystal clear. The ONLY problem can be handoff. GSM -> UMA handoff works well, but UMA -> GSM handoff isn't always perfect.

tmo has there network specific bands open, and others blocked
