- The Blackberry 8900 is gone from the T-Mobile web site.
Is this due to an impeding update without a trackball?
Just wondering.01-14-10 03:09 AMLike 0 -

- I agree, as I have the Touch Pro 2 and absolutely love it. Just wondering if they are keeping the Dash 3G as their qwerty device and the hd2 as the touch screen for winmo?? Hopefully this is just some reorganization on their website and nothing more01-14-10 01:09 PMLike 0

she is getting a remaned 8900.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-14-10 02:31 PMLike 0 - Two things:
1 - The 8900 is sold out. The drop to $99 had my store out of stock a month ago. No stores in Las Vegas have had any for at least three weeks. People still love it, and snatched it up at that price.
2 - The TP2 is still available in stores, but we WILL be getting the HD2 in Spring sometime.01-14-10 03:08 PMLike 0 - Not sure if I had the choice to get a brand new 8900 that I wouldn't seriously consider it. 3G isn't any big thing for me - not really finding any big advantage with it. And as we've already talked about, the 5.0 threaded sms is just enough to make me vomit. I do like the trackpad much more than I ever expected. All in all, a new 8900 isn't something I'd rule out if I had the chance.01-14-10 04:30 PMLike 0

Perhaps you need to follow your own Verizon discussion forum. Plenty of people at Verizon aren't happy.
T-Mobile customers are sexier and more trend setting.01-14-10 06:28 PMLike 0 -
And what I mean, is what is the problem, just that its threaded? Because pretty much every smartphone has threaded SMS now. (iphone, android, webos, etc.) Although they have much prettier ways of doing it.01-14-10 06:41 PMLike 0 -
I got a series of text messages the other day from a co-worker. Yes, it made following THAT series of conversations interesting. But the tradeoff for the occasional chit-chat with a friend or coworker is not at all worthwhile when you get alert text messages from Google, AP News and other broadcast services.
The problem here is that RIM did not think this through. Had they thought this through, they would have understood that this dreaded threaded sms function wouldn't fit the needs of everyone and they would have given users the option to use the dreaded threaded sms or the traditional/classic format.
Now the project is to get RIM to go back and re-engineer their code to allow the dreaded threaded sms function to be disabled and turned off.01-15-10 10:37 AMLike 0 - Obviously you are just using your text message function for chit-chatting with others. They've long made apps to do that function. They're called IM apps.
If you used your device to receive on-going news and alert flashes, you would detest this dreaded threaded sms.01-15-10 10:40 AMLike 0 -
The trackpad on the 9700 functioned much smoother than the one on the 8520, plus the 8520 screen is much lower quality. It's the difference between a Samsung and a Motorola screen in terms of resolution.
I prefer the angled buttons of the 9700, but that was really the only improvement over the 8900 as far as I'm concerned. 3G is also not a big deal, because the BB browser isn't good enough to do any serious surfing on anyway.01-15-10 12:48 PMLike 0 - hey norriscell, i just got off the phone with tmobile once i saw this thread and i asked them being that the device is no longer for sale does that mean that OS updates wont be supported? the man replied that as of right now no, and that he had seen nothing to indicate that they would be in the future but if i wanted to DL the OS from the BlackBerry website i could.
in short, with tmo nixing the 8900 the device wont see an official tmo 5.0 upgrade. can you wink twice if that's true?01-15-10 02:48 PMLike 0 - Yea, but they also have apps for news/alets haha. And I just delete all my texts at the end of the day no matter what. Don't really care how they come in.01-15-10 06:27 PMLike 0
- They just told me they're sending me a replacement for my BB, could it be a refurb since they're no longer selling the 8900?01-19-10 12:59 AMLike 0
