Bold 9900 AT&T Release - Sooner than we think?
- by golly I hope that roadmap is very incorrect. Im not sure I can hold out that long.. And suppose I buy a tmo 9900, then will I lose 3g speeds supposing the merger goes through? This is why I hate the 2 yr agreements. I am currently out of contract which is very freeing until you look at to move off of the family plan and realize you have to sign 2 years away again..09-05-11 01:34 PMLike 0
- The DOJ filed suit against the merger as it is now. All they will do is change some things and it will happen. AT&T and T-Mo is supposed to merge until next year, so it's a little premature to say it didn't go through.09-05-11 02:33 PMLike 0
- i don't think mid-sept for bold.its probably for the torch 9860.unless the picketing works and at&t delivers in mid-sept.for me,the 9860 is not an option anymore.if i want the larger screen,i rather opt for the iphone 5 which im more interested in.the iphone 5 is just so much better then the 9860.also the shape of the 9860 wouldn't fit me when im holding it up to my ears.the plastic buttons of the 9860 totally eliminated it from my contention.09-05-11 06:57 PMLike 0

- I think the 9810 really is a great deal, $50 and you get a great media/messaging device. However, since this is a phone I will be using for two years or more, I'm not settling for anything less than the 9900.09-05-11 08:12 PMLike 0

- I'm not sure people are aware that the "disgruntled customers" that they're referring to are a very small portion of the overall customer base for AT&T. There's maybe a few thousand people that are going to complain, and less than a few hundred I bet that are willing to jump ship to another carrier over a phone. There's a lot of people out there with blackberries that don't scour the blogs and don't even know that this phone is coming out, so it's out of sight out of mind. For the loyal BB users and CB readers we've known about this for what seems like decades now and it's frustrating for us. But as far as AT&T is concerned 90% of its customer base doesn't even know that this phone is coming out on AT&T I bet...and probably 90% of THAT group doesn't care if it's coming out or not and won't leave because of it.
We're in a strictly BB forum here directly discussing an AT&T release, so it seems like there's a much larger outcry than there actually is.
If your phone isn't working well, I suggest buying one off CL to tide you over, I do that all the time and turn around and sell em and usually break even. Good way to try out different BB's as well as not get locked into a contract when you don't want to.09-06-11 11:53 AMLike 0 - I'm personally patiently wait for release of this beauty by at&t and will not jump to other providers for numerous reasons, I'm premium act holder with family plan and getting 20+ percent off on getting new phones or buying accessories from at&t and biggest reason is I'm getting 20+ off on every monthly bill, so I'll be stupid to do that move, Now back to topic...
Also even though cant wait to have this phone, I'm kind of happy that at&t delays to release it because by the time be out most apps will be available for it and aftermarket like Seidio will have available charging pods and cases (which is must have for me) and most important is be then this phones hardware and software issues will be fixed (can i dream that?)world traveler and former ceo likes this.09-06-11 12:41 PMLike 1 -

- Your best bet is to upgrade to the Torch 2 on ATT for $50. Sell it on ebay for about $500. Then add another $100 and buy the 9900 unlocked on ebay. Net result is ends up costing you about $200 after taxes and fees but you get the phone now and it comes out to the same price if you were to buy it from ATT when it eventually comes out anyways09-08-11 01:51 PMLike 0

- My understanding is that the Rogers phone is compatible with AT&T's network/frequencies, and you want to stay away from T-Mobile phones - which is mostly what you'll find on ebay.09-08-11 05:48 PMLike 0

I get what you're suggesting, but your figures seem way off to me.09-08-11 06:06 PMLike 0 - I didn't mean to say the phone wasn't coming out on AT&T, as it most definitely is. What I was referring to was the latest information on the AT&T release date, which remains a mystery.09-08-11 06:48 PMLike 0

- Who in the world would pay $500 for a used Torch 2 on eBay when a new one can be had from Amazon Wireless for $490 without contract requirements? Furthermore, why buy a new AT&T 9900 from eBay for $600 when you will likely be able to get one directly from AT&T for less?

A new unlocked 9900 goes for about $650. So the numbers do make sense. Pay $50 for the Torch 2, sell for $500, then pay $650 for the 9900. Total out of pocket is around $200. This may be cheaper than what it would cost to upgrade to AT&T. It's a bit of a hassle to do all of this but not the end of the world.
