You and I are in the same boat jnmnml. I did a warranty exchange the other day with T-mobile on my 9700. The rep at the store told me they don't mass produce the Bold 9700 for T-mo anymore so they will be sending me a 9780 instead. When its all said and done they are virtually the same phone with the exception of onboard memory/OS/Camera. So its nothing to be too excited about, just glad I will have a phone again.
