Bold 9900 AT&T Release - Sooner than we think?
- Hype caused by Apple marketing, tech bloggers and the media in general, magnified by happy customer's word of mouth. For better or for worse Apple devices have the highest or among the highest customer satisfaction.
Where I work I have only seen ONE customer actually return an iPhone and he didn't get a Android device he went back to his old flip phone. OTOH, I've seen numerous customers get Android phones (two Inspire's and an Infuse) who later came back and exchanged them for iPhones. I Did however have a customer "upgrade" his iPhone 4 to an Infuse today10-21-11 12:37 AMLike 0 - Yup...I'll get one of their "myfi" thingies along with the phone.
I'll keep the unlimited data plan on AT&T for the iPhone 4S when that comes out unlocked. I'll drop the voice down as far as I can (450 minutes?) and use that primarily for the data and for travel abroad. I've got some travel coming up to merry ol' England.
Thank you!!! Maybe AT&T refusing to give me back my unlimited data on this line that is now Verizon's, after having an air card on it for just a few months, was the best possible thing for me. I was paying $280+ a month on all my lines and my air cards, and they refused to give me back my unlimited on the one line....so....OK.....I walk.
Got a better plan with unlimited voice and my choice of what data I need. On a BB that is low because of compression. Plus the discounts for the feds...with AT&T I only got 15%, nothing off the data and nothing off accessories.Last edited by Qbnkelt; 10-21-11 at 03:24 AM.

Even RIM offers more options than Apple does. I don't understand why so many people are drawn to the iPhone, it always seems behind the competition.10-21-11 07:22 AMLike 0 - 10-21-11 08:16 AMLike 0

- So initially I said Nov 6th based on the info I received from my 'source'. Well I just subtly asked for some clarification, and it looks like the info came straight from R.. I mean the top.. not sure if I should spell it out but you can prob figure it out. That's all I have for now, but my confidence is certainly growing. Now I just need to start working on my 'source' to make sure I get one asap.10-21-11 03:05 PMLike 0

I wouldn't want a phone the size of a tablet, but a 4-4.5 inch screen is something I wouldn't mind.10-21-11 06:29 PMLike 0 - 9860 Should hit around the same time. It also was TA'd on 10/17...

For example, iCloud on Windows works with Outlook, but it isn't all that good. iCloud doesn't use the default Calendar, Contacts, etc. but instead adds a secondary Calendar, Contacts, etc. That means that Outlook doesn't work quite like it was designed to work (Today doesn't pick up the iCloud Calendar for starters). On a Mac, iCloud integrates perfectly with the native Calendar, etc.10-21-11 07:53 PMLike 0
- My brother always makes the same argument, that he has a Mac because it works better with his iPhone... Which just isn't true... An iPhone will work just the same on windows as it would with a Mac.

Before I got this iPhone, I actually went into the AT&T store with the intention of buying the Bold 9000, and the sales man steered me away and talked me into the iPhone. After that I didn't see any BB's that had that same wow factor that had drawn me to the 9000, until I saw the 9900.10-21-11 09:33 PMLike 0 -
The two email clients are for GMail and everything else. You don't HAVE to use both if you don't want to but the full blown app email all has features you loose routing your pop/smtp/imap mail through Gmail, and the Gmail app has features you would loose if you routed your gmail account through the stock email client.
Downloading the free program Double Twist negates the iTuns advantage and I believe some OEM's have their own programs that do the same thing.10-21-11 10:01 PMLike 0 - Yup...I'll get one of their "myfi" thingies along with the phone.

- I have a feeling AT&T is going to be rather surprised about the sales of the 9900.world traveler and former ceo and DeeNiceJones like this.10-21-11 11:23 PMLike 2
- I agree. I'll be there first thing that Sunday morning to get one. I'm curious how many AT&T users either jumped ship to Verizon, Sprint, or Tmobile to get the 9900/9930.. or purchased an unlocked version.DeeNiceJones likes this.10-21-11 11:28 PMLike 1
