Default Two Blackberries coming to T-Mobile in the fall.

Talked to my dad's corporate account rep today about me trying to get an 8900 and she told me I might want to wait because two are coming out. I asked her when in the fall and she said she didn't know.

One has got to be the Driftwood. She mentioned the 3G so I assume that.. but what's the other one?!

I wouldn't doubt that T-Mobile will be coming out with a Curve 8900 3G in the fall, but then again, they aren't cleaning out their shelfs for nothing. I'm almost sure that T-Mobile is going to go toe to toe with AT&T.

You and Bajan are right. Driftwood and the 8500 series.

I've always thought my love affair with the 8900 would be shortlived.

The Driftwood is supposed to be released in September.

The problem I have with the 8900 having 3G is the network. ATT has way more coverage than TMO, also you have to add in the extra cost for having 3G on your BB. I'd rather stay with my Edge which works pretty fast.

I'd agree with you but then I'd be wrong.

Since when is T-Mobile clearing out their 8900 inventory? They still sell the 8300 series!

The rep that told you that you have to pay an extra $60 for 3g you should go back and slap the **** out of them. You do not have have to pay extra for 3g it is apart of the data plan. You do have to have to pay extra for the date but that is a known fact.

Thay statement was pretty funny sorry.

I'm excited to see what these BB's are like when they come out!

However, I extended my contract til 1/20/11 for the 8900 so I won't be getting a new phone for a long while. But it's okay!
