    I was really upset when i realized that T Mobile (wich totoally sucks as a carrier) was getting the Blackberry 8900 first. For some reason there was a slight light of optimism that Sprint was going to get it, but I guess it was just a fart Well hopefully I wont have to wait years to get my hands on this beutiful creation known as the Blackberry 8900

    SIGH...

    The 8900 is GSM. It wouldn't work on Sprint's network. They RIM would need to develop a CDMA version before Sprint could get the 8900.

    I think I'd rather have a phone with 3G (or ideally with WiFi & 3G like the Bold) anyways.

    yea, i'm definitely getting a steal from sprint. but i'm honestly getting sick of blackberry's slow and marginal updates. I don't even think the storm or the bold have all the features we really need.

    I'd like to see a blackberry on BIS that can sync OTA calendar, contacts, an updated media player, onboard graphics, updated calendar, better support for ms office and ESPECIALLY PDF docs. It's so stupid the way we have to view pdf's right now with all that enhance BS. And STILL no threaded sms, SO STUPID. I guarantee none of this will get fixed with OS 5.0 either.

    I don't think i'll switch to the iphone, but if windows mobile has a 7.0 on a phone with a nice keyboard I could see myself making the move.

    you probably have it set to not use querty...go into your options (initial setup) and it's in there to change it if you want (I think), other than that I'm not sure....I'm new to BB and just got my storm
