Hi there!
I am not exactly new, I have posted several times in a panic, to get answers to problems or questions I have had about my Curve 8310.
So, about a year and a half later (today), I saw the "Newbie" forum and thought I should give myself a proper introduction.
I've had my Curve since June 2009. When I first got it, I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but after having read up on different Berry's, I now want a Bold 9700. I know, I'm apparently always behind the times! But, the 9700 seems really solid and stable, and Wi-fi and 3G are pretty appealing to me now, after having lived without them this long.
Here is a question for anyone who feels qualified to answer: do y'all think that the price of buying a 9700 outright (w/o a new contract - ATT) will go down when ATT announces that they are offering the 9780? That's kind of what I am holding out for.
Then again, I have seen in several forums here that the 9700 may be getting phased out. I really hope not
Anyway, nice to meet y'all and this is a great website
Check the Marketplace forum here on CB. People are selling 9700s all the time as they upgrade to 9780s or Torches, or leave for other devices. I have heard that many AT&T stores are no longer stocking the 9700, but I would imagine if they were, the price would go down.
