| |  how many T-Mobilers upgraded to the 9900/9810 despite the price? Impressions?
in an effort to try and pump some life into the T-Mobile section is anyone willing to share their thoughts on the 9900 or 9810 if you recently upgraded to them from any other phone?

Still holding on to my 9700, due mainly to the exorbitant cost of 9900 on TMO (I pay full retail b/c on Value Plan); might hold out a little longer to see if/when TMO gets 9790 and price drop on 9900.

Upgraded from 9800 to 9810 on day 2. It's fast, especially trading up from EDGE to 4G! The Liquid Graphics and 1GHz CPU are impressive. However, LG is incompatible with the existing Plazmic Theme Builder software so there are NO themes available for OS7 until mid-2012. That's my only complaint. OS7 suffers from "Playbook Syndrome" meaning some of my fav apps and all my fav themes are AWOL at the moment. Luckily I have the 9800 app CODs which work okay apart from some screen size issues.

I didn't want to wait and upgraded from 9700 to 9810 via Wirefly. Not too bad @ $149.99 plus an upgrade fees of $18.

I upgraded to the 9900 from the 9700 on the day of release...three months ago and I love it. I mentioned this in other threads as well but people get too caught up in the breakdown of cost between the phone and the plan. TMO is about $400 to $500 cheaper then ATT or Verizon over two years when you factor in the cost of the phone and the plan. They are charging the same for the phone as TMO and then some when you factor in how much more expensive their plans are.

I dropped my 8820 for the last time saturday and went and got my new 9900 on sunday. So i have only had it for 2 days but so far it is well worth the price. I paid $334, but there is a $50 mail in rebate so final cost for me is $284. It is alot faster and the touch screen is very responsive. I will post more after i have had more experience with it.

Even though I paid more for the phone I have been very happy with T-Mobile .The coverage in my area has been really good and the phone has been rock solid. The only thing I am waiting on is the update allowing Wi-Fi calling.

I had a Storm 1, unlocked, on t-mobile's network. Then after that broke, I bought a Storm 2, also unlocked, about a year ago. And, after I dropped it on the bleachers and broke the screen, I decided to get a 9900. I have been very happy with the phone so far, minus the auto-focus.

Although it is not Tmobile US, but it's mother Tmobile Germany I think it's still the right topic.
Upgraded to the 9900 in September from a 9780 and paid 69€ with a new two year contract. I have been very happy so far with the 9900, Tmobile is as good as ever, best provider in Germany!

I was tempted to get the 9900. The size seems pretty much ideal to me. But I'm only eligible for partial upgrade, so it wouldn't be cheap. In conjunction with the price, the missing auto-focus is enough to make me wait for something better to come along.
