does anyone know if there will be a 9000 series released for sprint and if so when?

[jimmyb]

Since the 8830 WE is still so new i would give it atleast a year or 2 before the 9000 series start. I maybe be wrong but according to some inside information it could possibly be longer

[sunkast]

There isn't any official word yet on which carriers will even have it. It's too early to know very much about it's availability.

[CMEC]

Sprint people are still waiting on the Curve 8330. And who even knows if Sprint will be around when the Blackberry9000 is ready. LOL

[ezrunner]

9000 hasn't even been officially launched by RIM and since no GSM carrier has it yet it is a safe bet it will be sometime before CDMA carriers get it

[Tylerd]

Ya, as far as we know, the 9000 may never even launch on any carrier, right?

GSM before CDMA, so 18 months later considering VZW gets it before Sprint and VZW "tests" til the cows come home.

That's what my football coach says. "You gonna rin till the cows come home"

It's coming to sprint in October '08. I've already seen pre-orders and questions popping up in the sprint call center.

[outlawglamour]

Sprint? I thought AT&T was getting this device. I hope it's AT&T so I can purchase it.

[Raptor007]

GSM is the much larger market so why exactly would RIM develop their new phone under CDMA and for Sprint first. Heck by October Sprint could be gone.

AT&T will get it in the US first.

[uncheels23]

No way sprint will get it first

maybe they will and with qchat

[orle8050]

I agree Sprint wont get this first. It will come out on GSM than CDMA.

[Duvi]

RIM = Smart ... They realize time and time again to deliver to the carrier with the most BB users, AT&T. I can't wait to pop my AT&T sim in that 9000 and watch all the Sprint/Verizon haters :-( I don't mention T-mobile because they are able to unlock and use it.

So Sprint will be getting this phone October '08...How have you see pre-orders already?..Just wondering..This phone is pretty nice and if it does come out then I may get it around October when my contract is up with Sprint..

[kaliiscute]

Yeah you AT&T users will have a great phone to look at since your service sucks so badly. I see AT&T trying to be a good company but they could be the 1st to have the brand new ear implanted phone 10 years befor it comes out and I wouldn't go to their lame service. Viva la sprint!

I would wait to see when it is actually released for ATT first. I would then add at least 6 months to a year before it is available to sprint users.

If what BGR reports is true they are aiming for an ATT release in June. Included in the report is that they will have a 6 month exclusive deal in place when its released.

With major battery issues still being ironed out June may be a little optimistic.

[Raptor007]

Easily 12 months later and I bet Verizon gets it before Sprint does. Talk about a company going under, that would be Sprint.

Now GSM always gets the hot phones first that is why I jumped back to AT&T and so far my service has been great, Sprint just doesn't work in my area.

I bet you think Verizon gets the Curve first too, right?

[Garz]

I bet sprint and Verizon get it last. They are finally getting the Curve. The question is, will AT&T or T-mobile get it first? Since AT&T got the 8820 and 8120 first I would have to go with AT&T.

I hate to break it to you ppcmd, but Sprint isn't anywhere near going under. Not sure where you got that impression. Sorry to disappoint you.

Where is all this anger towards Sprint coming from? Did you get burned by their *wonderful* customer service?

[TheAznBradPitt]

playing the waiting game

I was wondering the same thing, so much hate towards Sprint!! I mean I have my problems with them too but nothing different from any other cell phone company. I don't care who gets the 9000 first just as long as I can get it (even if it means a year later).

[Reese323]

I really doubt Sprint will get it anytime soon. They're just now coming out with the Curve a year after AT&T and T-Mobile did. You know all the GSM versions of phones come out way before the CDMA versions, well most the time. I'll say most likely AT&T will get it first, then T-Mobile right afterwards. Sprint and Verizon will get it like a year later....
