I sold phones for an AT&T Authorized Retailer for two years and that was the impression I got. And as much as it sucks, why not? Apple is their breadwinner. We cannot fault AT&T for focusing on the products that are going to make them money. Now that Android devices are sharing the spotlight with iPhone, they are going to be pushed more by AT&T as well. That's just business, plain and simple. You push what sells. Do I like the way AT&T treats their customers? Absolutely not. I always hated calling in to customer care for a client and being treated like crap until I told them I was an agent calling on behalf of the customer. Not all customer care reps are like that, but more than an acceptable amount are. Hopefully with the Apple exclusivity out the window now, they will begin to change their tune to stifle the churn rate.
Back to the topic of the 9900, I was in love with this phone from the day I heard of its existence. I miss my 9000 tremendously. But with BBX on the horizon for next year and the lack of apps for OS7, I find myself asking why I'm still waiting for it. I have an upgrade burning a hole in my pocket (my wife stole mine back in July when her 8900 kicked the bucket) but am thinking I may turn my back on my beloved RIM and move to the iPhone. I can't believe I'm to the point of considering it, but I really feel like I don't have a good reason to stay anymore.10-30-11 07:26 PMLike 0 -

It appears to be preventing the best and latest RIM devices from being sold side-by-side with iOS and Android devices for a period of three months. If one takes into account that a new or refreshed smartphone model is released approximately every 12 months, three months is a considerable period of time. While Verizon and Sprint allow their subscribers to exercise their choice, AT&T limits the choice of their subscribers in a manner that borders on the anti-competitive.10-30-11 08:32 PMLike 0
- Haha and agreed! I'd like to know everyone's obsession with QNX. It's just another OS. It's as good as the programmers and it's not always that great. There's going to be bugs, lack of features, and issues like all OS's have. I still find Blackberry OS to be awkward after all these years. I think 10 year old Palm is still a better OS.10-30-11 09:13 PMLike 0

Is at&t that great that everyone is not willing to leave? You can't force or make at&t to release the 9900. I hated going to Verizon and giving up my thousands of roll over minutes at at&t, but I'm happy I did.10-30-11 09:38 PMLike 0

- I handle calls over my Bluetooth headset while browsing and reading e-mails. Therefore, I could not get accustomed to a CDMA/EV-DO network which does not handle voice and data simultaneously. That leaves T-Mobile. Its coverage is not as good as AT&T's and, more importantly, I would lose my unlimited BlackBerry Personal data plan if I were to switch to T-Mobile. Therefore, my options are either to buy a Rogers or Telus unit without insurance coverage and warranty or wait.10-30-11 09:47 PMLike 0
- I just chatted with an At&t rep online line and said the same thing. lol I don't think I would leave over a phone, I just want an official release date! Apple sells itself, why not push BB and benefit from all sides! I guess we would have heard something official if the 6th was possible10-30-11 09:57 PMLike 0
