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.

what source do you base this on please?
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.

I suppose it's possible that T-Mobile wouldn't retail it (then simply unlock it), but I find that highly unlikely.Wireless Networks

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.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.

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.

Wow, that one is old. From a year ago this month. They were still listing the Onyx, Gemini and Magnum. And none of them had trackpads yet.
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-464323/05-06-10 08:22 AMLike 0 -

I've been told by at least 3 or 4 Tmobile reps that a "new pearl" is in the works and will be released this year....05-06-10 08:25 AMLike 0 -

I'm not questioning that this is what you've been told. What I like to know is who is your source. Did you hear it from a neighbor who knows a guy who works at the local TMO store or did you get it directly from a legitimate insider? Without a credible source, then this is just speculation. Is one thing to say TMO will not get it first but to claim that TMO will never get the 9100 is a very bold statement. When TMO does eventually get it, I will come back and call you out on this.05-06-10 12:19 PMLike 0 -

I heard it from T-Mobile and RIM insiders. I am not stating job descriptions or anything that would bring light onto their positions.
I also stated that they aren't getting it in 2010. I never said never. But I stand by my 2010 statement.

The other issue here is that there is no incentive for me to share information again. I wanted to let T-Mobile users that they may have to look a different direction for this device and I am met with dissenters. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I get that. But explain to me why I would ever post inside information again?

No US carrier has confirmed or denied getting the 9100. So whatever you say is BS.The other issue here is that there is no incentive for me to share information again.

this is how you started your thread and you are wondering why nobody believes or cares what you think? what are you pretending not to know?Last edited by kurtla; 05-06-10 at 07:16 PM.

Please don't think that your "inside info" means anything. No device is ever confirmed until it is officially released by RIM. Anything at this point is speculation.05-06-10 07:59 PMLike 0 -

If your initial information was sincere, fine. I apologize for my response. But that first post was rather condecending and insulting. It's usually the first sign of a troll.I heard it from T-Mobile and RIM insiders. I am not stating job descriptions or anything that would bring light onto their positions.
I also stated that they aren't getting it in 2010. I never said never. But I stand by my 2010 statement.

I know we shouldn't shoot the messenger, but I sure feel like it.
Whether this is true remains to be seen. I'm certainly not taking the word of some d o u c h e bag.
