[Valmont1978]

With all the brouhaha about new Blackberry's landing all over, you're telling me that the best Tmobile could do is the lame Blackberry Flip!? I got something I'd like to flip. It disgusts me that AT$T have exclusivity on the iphone and The Blackberry Bold. And Disney, um, sorry, Microsoft, I mean sorry Verizon, have the awesome Blackberry Storm!? And WTF do we get? The flip and no forecast in the future for the Curve II or The Bold!? I am so sick and tired of watching the parade go by at inferior carriers. I am this close to switching to AT$T....this close.

[bellxx]

hang tough! All the carriers eventually get all the BB's. It's just the waiting that hurts.

this is true but by the time T-Mobile gets anything good its usually out of date, unless you want a Sidekick....

as for Valmont1978, dont go to the dark side (at$t), just buy the phone you want and unlock it....

i thought the same thing when i heard of us getting that flippy thing. a shame we have some awesome service/prices but ridiculous choices for phones...

and i was also considering doin the switch to at&t, but nah. at&t has stupid pricing and their coverage in my area isn't that good. tmobile is actually worth the wait for me.

[Shake]

Everyone seems to forget that the Pearl first came to T-Mobile. I am sure the next great BlackBerry/Garage Door Opener/Foreman Grill phone will belong to T-Mobile.

I realize this thread isn't ment to be humorous but its sort of struck me as so!

I'm not a T-Mo customer nor do I intend to ever be, but I thought the same thing about the phones. AT&T always seems to get the best phones while everyone gets stuck waiting around for the device "trickle down". Verizon actually surprised me when they scored the Storm. I was disappointed though as I have NO desire for a non-keyboard touch phone! Seriously, it's a cost thing. AT&T is no doubt investing a pretty penny to get exclusive rights to the great devices. This is something that T-Mo isn't/can't/won't do. They don't have the ability to, but as a result they offer the best rates around! Seems like a fair enough trade!

So, as those before me have said: "hang tough, be strong, and don't go to the dark side"!

I have to agree. I'm not that impressed with the phone to begin with, and with all the others coming out on other carriers, it just seems like peanuts.

[Garz]

T-Mo USA did not get shafted on the Bold. It was made for them as well but they passed on it.

[drepope100]

got the bold..............RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!! it is not worth switching providers. the 8220 does pretty much the EXACT SAME THING!!! got the 8220 too!!

[sschelle]

T-Mobile has a young, cost-conscious customer base. Accordingly, the company tends to focus on feature rich (particularly peer to peer and multi-media) handsets that can retail for under $200.

They like the Pearl and Pearl flip (it's just a different case) because they hit those target customers and price points. The Curve fits the tech-savvy prosumer group that T-Mobile also has (graduates of young, cost conscious).

The Bold, the Storm, iPhone, etc. are business-oriented handsets targeted at higher-end groups (and higher price points). T-Mobile would likely think that they couldn't sell enough of them into the T-Mobile base to make sense.

[dandrumma]

About three years back i got fed up with tmobile not getting the good phones first and I actually jumped ship to at&t. i'm back on t-mobile now and i will just be patient. Sure would like to see the BOLD on t-mobile at some point.

[Hamp]

I'm not switching carriers just because a device is/seems cool! I've been with TMO for 3 years strong, I have the Curve 8320 and love it and I can wait for the Javelin to come to TMO.

By the time a device comes to a particular carrier, it's successor is in the wings waiting anyway. Besides, every device and carrier has it's strong and weak points. T-Mobile and the Curve (or it's successor) suit my needs just fine!

That was absolutely hilarious! But on the serious tip, dawg: maybe customer service isn't a good fit for you.

[xxxxpradaxxxx]

ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT BLACKBERRY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They Got that Crazy G1 Phone.

Sheesh! Cant Have Everything.

[m11stephen]

Wow that customer service rep must have had an extremely bad day. The reason I think Tmobile hasn't gotten the Bold, iPhone, Storm, etc. is because there 3g network isn't anywhere close to the coverage ATT and Verizon have. 3g is the "hot" thing so it wouldn't make sense to release a device and brag about 3g when the network is almost non existent. Tmobile is supposed to be getting the Javelin. (Javelin sounds so much better than Curve 2 lol) That won't have 3g, it will just have edge. Edge is fine for me, everyone loves to make it sound like were still using dial up but for what I do its great. It makes a big difference on the iPhone because the screen is so big and it was designed to load data intensive sites. I bet the average Curve/Pearl user only uses their mobile browser to view mobile sites not full blown webpages.

[metalwraith]

Foreman grill phone... LMAO that's f'n funny.

I'm willing to wait for the next phone to come out.. in the meantime I'm just going to order a new shell for my 8700g, some laminate to keep it from getting scratched and I'm good and happy with it.

Everyone seems to forget that the Pearl first came to T-Mobile. I am sure the next great BlackBerry/Garage Door Opener/Foreman Grill phone will belong to T-Mobile.

With all the brouhaha about new Blackberry's landing all over, you're telling me that the best Tmobile could do is the lame Blackberry Flip!? I got something I'd like to flip. It disgusts me that AT$T have exclusivity on the iphone and The Blackberry Bold. And Disney, um, sorry, Microsoft, I mean sorry Verizon, have the awesome Blackberry Storm!? And WTF do we get? The flip and no forecast in the future for the Curve II or The Bold!? I am so sick and tired of watching the parade go by at inferior carriers. I am this close to switching to AT$T....this close.

ummm i'm not shafted.......if you want the sexy phones go out and buy them and unlock them.....

DANG SUCKA!!!

Now im afraid to call TMobile and ask about my upgrade when and if we get the Javelin/89xx

[Hawkins]

If it makes you feel better Sprint doesn't have any new Blackberry. I like the service but this is depressing.

Does anyone know if Sprint is planning on getting any of these and when?

EDGE isn't even that slow. It's more of your signal strength than every thing. If you have full signal its not that bad. I never notice it much though cause I am always on WiFi on my Curve. The times I have had to use EDGE it was fine as long as I had good signal.

[metalwraith]

How true the signal strength is what matters.. Some places Edge is extremely speedy.. Then if I'm someplace else.. it takes it's time.. But I'm happy it does what I want it to do with my 8700g.
