This is the 9800

Booo! Looks like any other T-Mobile BB, 9700 and 8520... Booo!

 
 
Posted by Dsmithjr Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

Hey T-Mobile, what about the 9100???

 
 
Posted by bigtime2 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

Not any time soon.

hey wait the 9300 will "eventually" run BB6?

 
 
Posted by bigtime2 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

That's what the press release said.

Pretty nice for an entry level phone.
I'm sure they'll sell a boat load of these to enterprise users.

 
 
Posted by chrislisten Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

For me thats one of the best looking phones i´ve ever seen. Nice bezel around the black inside.

has anyone notice the "LOCK KEY" on the A button? sweet.

 
 
Posted by mister_right Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

I guess you didn't notice it on the 8500 then? You can hold A to lock on any OS5 handset.

 
 
Posted by live420 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

Didn't notice that cool

 
 
Posted by guido68 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

I will need to look at the specs, but basically seems like a Bold 9700, which will be updatable to OS6

 
 
Posted by shabbs Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

Not even close buddy... lower res screen, lower quality camera... my 8900 kicks this things ass. Heh heh.

 
 
Posted by fayek Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

and yet this is getting bb6 and the 8900 isn't.

shame.

 
 
Posted by shabbs Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

It's a damn shame... we'll see how it runs on this one.

Wake me up when 9700 gets an upgrade on the OS system, a.k.a. OS 6.0. If i have to wait two months or more i'm buying a 9780 and selling my bold 9700 but i'm going to unlock it before so the price increase. Just a plan i have up my sleeve. But the torch is nice, i just don't think it will suite me well.

 
 
Posted by crush29830 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

Basicaly Blackberry can go to 2 phones torch and Bold Curve,Bold,and Pearl to me are the same phone with a few xtras hear and there and the torch is some kind of deformed storm and bold lovechild.

Just keep it simple RIM the more they hype these phones up, IMO the cheesier they are begining to look.

 
 
Posted by edwjer9 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

Yea sound great, see a lot of videos and I want one. Do you know if it work for Boost Mobile? Do you think that BB 6 is coming to Boost?

 
 
Posted by moshpitpal Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

Sorry. Only torch or something better will do.

 
 
Posted by MADBRADNYC Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

Exactly...

 
 
Posted by hytekchaos Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

fuck the curve tmobile get the 9800 torch for crying out load.

 
 
Posted by msmo81 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

Ummmmmmm hellz yah!!! F da curve, why does AT&T get the Torch 1st? I mean they have the Iphone, WTF?! Tmo can u hurry and get the TORCH before we snap the hell out! Oh yea and hurry up wit OS 6.

 
 
Posted by HTC_Droid_EvO Monday, Aug 09, 2010 655 days ago

The 8900 was a sexy beast....ok let it be a low end cost cutter but keep it stylish

 
 
Posted by Candyapple4u Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

I thought it was something new...

 
 
Posted by dftx08 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

Once again proving why T-Mobile will aways be behind. Excited about 3G curve. Come on T-Mobile get it in gear and give us what we want, the freakin torch. I talked to a rep at T-mobile store and asked when there version of the torch was coming out and he quickly mentioned the clamshell, i was excited untill i saw the clamshell, OMG i hope the rep was clueless..... maybe im just as bad for sticking with them for 10 years.

 
 
Posted by rockwilder1911 Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

wtf!!!! Tmobile you guys are clueless over there! wtf kind of sales and marketing team had this great idea?! I been holding out by not getting the 9700 bold thinking you guys would have the newest of the new around this time SMH! #failtmobile

 
 
Posted by MADBRADNYC Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

BUST!!!

 
 
Posted by blackberry7290nerd Monday, Aug 09, 2010 654 days ago

You cant blame T-Mobile because I'm thinking that RIM made the final choice when it came to the carrier and they picke AT&T because they are far larger. I think their should be no exclusive deals with carriers and that all phones should be elegible to everyone on every plan on every carrier.

 
 
Posted by blkbryadict Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

The heck with that, were is the 9800? Been there, seen that. Come on RIM, stop screwing around. It is time to get with the times.

 
 
Posted by BerryGuy25 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

What's a hotspot?? Is that for wifi or something?

 
 
Posted by datta72 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

this is a waste of time. If i was them i wouldn't even annouce such a poor quality phone, at least not a week after at&t just shook the Blackberry World with the 9800.

 
 
Posted by F-16 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

I want that housing for my 8520! Does anyone know where to get it? cnn.cn and truesuppliert don't :(

 
 
Posted by soo007 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

have you tried googling "blackberry 8520 epik case"?

 
 
Posted by gsilvau Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

Is it just me or the specs for the 9300 are the same as the 8530? It's pretty much the same phone but GSM instead of CDMA! Thought it would have more memory but it has 256 as the rest of the 85xx... don't know about the processor but I'm guessing it has the same one.
That would make me think that maybe, just maybe... the 85xx will get blackberry 6!??!
I just hope it does

 
 
Posted by LCW Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

At least will do UMA... But otherwise, 320x240... I mean, Really???

 
 
Posted by soo007 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

320x240 does suck. The 8900 has 480x360 and is still great. UMA will be great for traveling.

If the 9300 gets OS6, then should it be reasonable to believe that the 9700 can get OS6 as well? Reason, I expect the 9780 to be HSPA 7.2 or even HSPA+ in addition to 512MB of memory. So there could be consumer backlash if 9700 owners get the shaft.

 
 
Posted by fabini Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

it is not a mistery that t-mobile 3G network is pure trash.slow as hell.while on UMA the dropping of calls is ridiculous.

 
 
Posted by allargon Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

$100 for a Curve that's inferior to my 8900 except for 3G?

No thanks.

 
 
Posted by bigwillie Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 654 days ago

i was considering this phone, until i looked at the specs. T-mob better get the Torch, or i will probably jump ship when my contract is up.

 
 
Posted by Desean1 Tuesday, Aug 10, 2010 653 days ago

3G curVe what a waste....I want a 9800

 
 
Posted by Robert22 Thursday, Aug 12, 2010 652 days ago

I am looking for a Torch release announcement from T-Mobile!!!!!!
