I called TMO today about my account and asked the rep about the Passport and if they had a date for release yet. She said no date, but they had training on the phone last week!!!

As long as there's wifi calling at launch, I'll be at my local store the day its available.
Maybe JC should curse out Verizon's CEO's grandmother...
Seems to work much better than whatever carrier relations 'strategy' they have now.

I'm pretty sure it is "BlackBerry Dallas" (passport with silver design) nice design!

Yes, it WFC is available at lunch, I am buying and can keep my unlocked PP as a backup.

Doing this just to show the support as I believe my unlocked PP may eventually have WFC once I update with TMO OS.
Can't wait to see this TMO PP model!
Cheers

Promising news. Let's hope T-Mo opens up WFC access to existing Passport owners rather than having to buy the T version.

I hope this is true. In JL's video I believe he said you can get any phone so that should include all BB's.

I'll definitely be checking it out. Very good news.

Why do you think its the Blackberry Dallas? Just curious.
I think this may be legit because I had to call them about my Visual Voicemail not working on my new Z30. The lady I spoke with put me on a brief hold because she had to get the OS info for my phone. She pulled it up fast, so I assumed they had these BlackBerry model's information on hand for the devices they don't currently offer. They know mine is unlocked and seemed happy with it.

There's a phone in the FCC registry with NA bands, similar to one of the other Passport models (I forget which one, but they're only different by one inconsequential LTE band.) It's hidden right now...or this is all a red herring lol.
Thurask has also seen evidence of the Dallas in the OS. He's the one who saw the band set, and since it's Northern American, it can't be the Oslo which is supposed to be an APAC-centric phone.
I don't get it. The phone is in the FCC product database or it is not. How can it be there but hidden?
Posted via CB10
The FCC ID does not show any results yet. If the documents are hidden, that's pretty common and done at the request of BB. Check out the attached letter BB submitted for the SQN100-5 as an example.
Or BB never submitted anything with this FCC ID, as the device never came to fruition or whatever it may be. That's the other possibility, pick one :)
Is there a difference between Dallas and Oslo? Is a "new" Passport coming to TMO or is it the same phone that released Sept 2014? TMO can't sell AT&T version, correct?

Confidential isn't the same as hidden.
I can't deal with the FCC database on a phone, but will boot my PC later and take a look. You can't sell what hasn't been tested and approved. Well you can sell the items and get fined. Yupitero MVT7100 as an example.

L6ARHR190LW. That's the one.
Posted via CB10
Right. It's temporarily hidden (my bad on the naming.) When you'll read the attachment, it'll become clear.
Just got off the phone with a TMO Blackberry tech who said she loves BlackBerry and keeps up with all the news, etc, etc with BlackBerry and TMO. She said knows rumors going around about Passport at TMO but right now nothing that the BlackBerry tech folks are being made aware about. All they have available is the Classic and anything else you can go the Amazon to Crackberry for..... now I'm bummed out again... someone confirm any news on Passport to TMO? either new version/model/name or do I bite the bullet and by last year's Passport (which I'd rather get update/new model/version if coming soon).
Posted via CB10
Hmmm....the lady I talked to said she liked the Passport and the training they had on it fun, she said.
Posted via CB10
Are you sure she did not have it confused with the Classic? You did say "no date" which would imply she knew you were talking about an unreleased phone...but I wouldn't put it past some reps to know that the Classic is now sold by TMO.
She knew we were talking about the correct model. She mentioned the wide screen.

Maybe it's going to be released in select areas at first or just select areas period, which would mean some are trained on it while other aren't. Wouldn't that be a true assumption?
