Just got back from checking out the 9900 at my local AT&T store. That thing is all kinds of sexy! I don't have a full discount on an upgrade until November 2012, so an early upgrade is gonna cost me about $450. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait about 3 more weeks. Hopefully my 9000 will last that long.
Side note, it always baffles me how uninformed, and uncaring Telecommunications Employees are. I walked in inquiring about the 2 new BlackBerry models available today (the 9900 and the 9860) and the lady who greeted me had absolutely no clue of their existence. She actually asked me if I was sure and I ended up leading her over to the BlackBerry display once I spotted the 9900.
It's not just AT&T either, I've encountered problems like that at Sprint and T-Mobile as well.
