You could always have bought one from Rogers or RIM directly, unlocked it, and used it on AT&T.

You CAN afford to buy a no-contract BlackBerry, right?

**TIMSHULL** · 10-23-2011, 11:30 AM

Ok I have waited this long wth is 2 weeks...

**TIMSHULL** · 10-23-2011, 11:23 PM

So do you all think the 9860 will release with the 9900 ?

**breakmedown** · 10-24-2011, 02:03 AM

When this does finally get released, I'm guessing it'll be a $200 on contract deal? Or might it be $300? Or even $100? Ha.

I guess the reason I can't decide is that the 9810 was just $50 basically right away. So who knows.

**Capitan Totti** · 10-27-2011, 12:36 AM

Do you guys think that when the 9900 will come out for AT&T, the price for say the 9810 will drop a bit? Just curious...

**TheQ805** · 10-27-2011, 02:23 AM

well... hard to say. AT&T has been aggressive with their pricing for a lot of phones lately, look at the top tier androids they have out like the infuse and atrix 2 that are at $99 with upgrade. They are taking big, iphone sized subsidies on those.

Now the torch 2/9810, actually has the same 1.2GHZ processor as the torch 9860 and bold 9900 coming. In fact, the main difference with the bold 9900 is the addition of NFC capability. I'm really hoping AT&T keeps up their aggressive pricing. If I had to wager a guess, November 6th, for $199 with 2 year contract, and then it'll go to $99 during holiday season.

Torch 2/9810, I see it staying at $50, maybe holiday sale as well to help deplete their inventory of it.

**TheQ805** · 10-27-2011, 02:24 AM

and remember in august when the torch 2/9810 came out it went straight to only $49 with 2 year. With same processor as bold is what has me hopeful of continued aggressive subsidies from AT&T

**TIMSHULL** · 10-27-2011, 08:03 AM

Lets go At&t wth is the hold up?

**Capitan Totti** · 10-27-2011, 04:39 PM

Thanks for the replies.

The thing is, if the 9900 is indeed coming to AT&T on Nov 6, and if the price of the 9810 drops = I can save some cash... why not? For 10 days? I'll wait and see...

**hnguyen** · 10-27-2011, 05:18 PM

I thought it was going to be on Nov. 20th for the 9900, and the 9860 will be released on Nov. 6th.

**Slammers08** · 10-27-2011, 06:09 PM

Just curious as to why everyone is holding out for the 9900? The 9810 is a great device and the price you can't beat it. Coming from the 9650 I thought i couldnt do the torch but after getting it I don't see myself going to the 9900. With no autofocus and the batt stories I just dont think its worth giving up the 9810 that doesnt have any problems. JMO

**Capitan Totti** · 10-27-2011, 06:21 PM

My question only regards if there will be a price drop in the 9810, since I think the competition with the 9860 and 9900 will be there.

My 9700 keyboard broke a few weeks ago so I figured I'd pick up a 9810 just to feel it out and maybe keep it. At first I loved it just because of how much better it was than 9700 but as I get more and more used to it I really am not a fan of it at all. The large screen is nice, but typing is not enjoyable to say the least. Battery life is alright. I just hate the feel of it in the hands and the keyboard feels cramped. I'm praying the bold comes out nov 6th so I can trade this in for it.

I agree lol But imo the phone is a steal for 50 bucks. Made my decision to stick with the 9810 over the 9900 easier. 9810 is a great berry!

Agree, I went from the 9000 to the 9800 and cannot wait for the 9900. The 9800 is a good device, but it just stinks for typing. I have grown to dislike the slider because I cannot take it out one handed and easily operate it like I could the 9000, and when in the vehicle mount it is difficult to use as well. I don't hate it I just prefer the other form factor. At this point I will get the 9900 or depending on my patience levels with this thing not being released, I may opt for a larger all touch like the S2.

Have you ever had a working 9900/9930 in your hands?

**olblueyez** · 10-29-2011, 08:02 AM

**TIMSHULL** · 10-29-2011, 11:57 AM

AT&T needs to step up their game big time.Wonder how many customers they will lose this weekend with the online special Verizon is running.....

**Capitan Totti** · 10-29-2011, 04:11 PM

I know, it is a steal and I will probably end up getting two, but my T-Mobile contract runs every 14Th so I will wait until the 12Th and see what will happen, which is probably nothing but I got to wait anyways...
