Quick, someone tell me which u.s. Carrier uses the same band as telus!!!

 
 
Posted by 123berryaddicted Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

Any gsm carrier... AT&T, T-mobile, and the likes...

wrong.

The new telus network is an hspa which is GSM compatible. The old network is cdma which is compatible with Verizon/sprint. Telus favors the new network in terms of new hardware. Whenever they can they choose the GSM models. So no... I am not wrong - thanks for coming out though.

You'll only get EDGE on T-Mobile

Only AT&T..

You can use any current and future Rogers, Bell or Telus BB on AT&T.

The newer GSM phones are backward compatible, so why wouldn't they work on an edge only network? I could be wrong as I don't live state side, but I do know my unlocked 9700 worked just fine on T-mobile....

Verizon

With their older blackberry's yes. But any new blackberry will be gsm compatible - not cdma.

Hi @123berryaddicted,

Douglas from RIM here. We love your enthusiasm! I’ve had a chance to play around with the new BlackBerry 7 smartphones, and the first thing I noticed was the improved speed and smoother web browsing. The Bold 9900 also brings to life NFC technology, which today allows you to read SmartPoster tags and pair devices – but in the future will enable mobile payments.

We love hearing how BlackBerry users are putting their smartphones to use. After you pick up your Bold 9900, share your experiences with us on Twitter (@BlackBerry) or Facebook (http://bbry.lv/bdmrXv).

Cheers,
Douglas, RIM Social Media Team

Posted by Frank2029 Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

No one cares.

 
 
Posted by barrist Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

Why do people want 3D on a phone? Stupidest thing I've ever heard.

 
 
Posted by birdman_36 Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

How can you make that statement when you've never seen one?

 
 
Posted by feldmen01 Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

Have fun making 3d videos of your dog then...

Rogers shouldn't be too far off eh:)

 
 
Posted by Teknojnky Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

I hope they will be cheaper than the prices we saw yesterday.

Friggin' saweet!!! Last I heard was like the 23rd or something for the 9860 and I was even beginning to doubt that..... So to hear they'll be available earlier is simply awesome!

*singing*... Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married..... LOL Okay, maybe not quite that far.

 
 
Posted by petworks97 Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 292 days ago

how about verizon?

It's unknown if the Torch 9850 is coming to Verizon yet. So far they've been very quiet about it, which is unfortunate.

CAN'T WAIT!!!

 
 
Posted by FreddyE Thursday, Aug 04, 2011 292 days ago
