Hello..New guy here. :D
I am switching my old iphone 2g to a BB 8900 next Saturday.
I'm getting this BB 8900 FOR FREE from a cousin that used it for only 2 weeks and then he got an iphone 3g as a present, so he liked his new iphone better than the BB and never used it anymore.
So here are my questions.
I am a T-mobile customer. I have the $5.99 T-zones hack on my iphone so i get slow but full internet access.
With my new BB im gonna switch to the "get more plus" plan with full internet.
I know the 8900 does not support 3G. So...
Have any of you tested to compare REAL LIFE T-MOBILE's edge vs 3G speeds on the SAME Blackberry be it a 8900 or bold?
I know 3G is faster than Edge.. BUT i also know that t-mobile's 3G network SUCKS so it can NOT be compared to the differences between edge vs 3g on the other carriers.
So being t-mobiles 3g network so crappy.. here is the big question:
Should i sell this almost new, mint BB 8900 on ebay and then buy a Bold 9700 because there will be any noticeable differences in connection speed ON T-MOBILE?... and how about the rest of the differences between the 2 devices.
100MHZ more of CPU on the bold does not justify having to spend an extra $250 bucks for ME when i am actually getting the 8900 for free...
What would you do? Should i keep the 8900 or get the 9700? Why?
I don't care if you are on ATT, Sprint or Verizon... please answer if you know the differences in T-mobile and only T-mobile.. thank you a lot!
