Any news on thunder coming to GSM?
- There is always that chance the Thunder could have the GSM frequency for this area.
Seems the new Motorola q9n that is coming to Verizon is a world phone that even works on GSM networks in America. At least the leaked model BG got their hands on worked just fine on AT&T.07-31-08 10:08 PMLike 0 - Perhaps I'm just a Devil's advocate, but I'll take Crucial's "gossip" with a grain of salt. Unless this is Mike Lazaridis or Jim Ballsillie in disguise, I for one trust Boy Genius and Kevin to have a tad more inside info.
Some people just like to stir the pot, but I prefer to deal in facts, not speculation.08-01-08 02:18 AMLike 0 - Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorPerhaps I'm just a Devil's advocate, but I'll take Crucial's "gossip" with a grain of salt.

- Well, theres 3 kind of people, one kind doesn't know anything(but acts like it) 2) carrier reps who know a little, then you have the people who actually know, but are prohibited from saying anything if they want to keep their job.08-02-08 03:52 PMLike 0

O man, yeah... I guess you are right hahaha
Yes, BGR and CB always knows better than RIM and their partners... yup!
Don't you think RIM has BGR and CB held by their balls?! They can only show certain things... and they are all controlled tightly by RIM.
CB, BGR, Engadget, all of the tech news blogs and sites do not always have 100% of the info that is available...08-02-08 03:57 PMLike 0 - Originally Posted by bmmclure37Yes, BGR and CB always knows better than RIM and their partners... yup!

Certainly the high-ups know more than BG or CB, but I highly doubt we're dealing with the head of research or marketing here.
Are you really so ignorant that you don't know the idea behind a blog?! People like BG and Kevin at CB post what they learn from insiders on their blogs; this is not an "official" article meant to be reproduced in a newspaper. Many at RIM probably couldn't care less about blogs, and even those that do would only respond to highly sensitive (read: true) information. But that doesn't prevent BG or CB from posting said information, if you haven't noticed. And once it's out there, there's nothing RIM can do.
In regards to what is posted on BGR, he is wrong as much as he is right, maybe more.
In regards to this quote from you: " But that doesn't prevent BG or CB from posting said information, if you haven't noticed. And once it's out there, there's nothing RIM can do."
You are correct, they can say whatever they wish! They are NOT the ones who signed an NDA. This cannot be said for others. Think about that for a while.08-04-08 07:54 PMLike 0 - Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorPerhaps I'm just a Devil's advocate, but I'll take Crucial's "gossip" with a grain of salt.

- I don�t see the GSM confirmation as a confirmation that it will work on AT&T because they can leave out US GSM and have it be a world phone still. We still don�t know for sure what frequencies they will pack in it and different versions, that is not confirmed just because we have a box now?? Unless I am missing something. There may be other versions and it may not be exclusive...but where has this been confirmed by the source. Haven�t heard anything from RIM and VZW yet, not until the 10th I would think.
Either I am in denial or all you GSM guys are just hopeful.
Again, You may be right, just don�t see SOLID proof yet....we will see soon I suspect.

CX is quite legit. And calm and rational to boot. He does tend to leave some things open for interpretation but I'm sure that has to do with his NDAs. I'd he says there are GSM and CDMA versions, believe it. Now, to get an unlocked one for my TMO contract.
