Hmmm, let's see when the iPhone comes out with 3g and the blackberry 9000 comes out this summer with 3g and see which one will be a best choice for me once I get my economic recovery $ and sell that AT&T 8525 on Ebay or somewhere. It says that it will be in $300 to $400 range, so wonder how much it will be for a upgrade price.

unfortunately, no deaf plan under at&t

purplecatty · 05-12-2008, 04:12 PM

Nice BB. Touchscreen yet? LOL

TechBill · 05-12-2008, 05:01 PM

I would jump on that BB 9000 if AT&T offer it on TAP plan otherwise I am staying with WM6 or soon WM7.

AT&T need to get their butt off and talk to RIM about allowing deaf to use it on a TAP plan and accept some discounts like Sprint does.

iPhone is nice but still no laptop tethering and 3G yet. If the new iPhone have 3G and I can tether it to my laptop then I would grab one. iPhone SDK is out so there may be a chance someone write a laptop tether program for iPhone.

hmm i think infosynchworld's report might be in error about tmo's future bold because tmo's 3G(hsdpa) is 1700mhz and that report shows there is 850,1900,2100mhz on the bold for tmo's own 3G(hsdpa).

1700mhz model will come out for tmobile this sept, btw.

well it wont happen in my opinion. 40 dollars a month is good deal in my opinion. i have strong feeling that sprint ll raise the price on bb plan to 40 something in the future. i could be wrong. wait and see... i dont want to see foreign wireless carriers are looking after Sprint.

Yup, I noticed it, I hope their website would be edit soon.

BB 9000 looks awesome, I'm considering to get 3G iPhone in next month or so, keep my BB for backup.

Seq, I know you are huge fan of apple things. I think better you should get 3G iphone first, because att offer tap.

.. I don't know if you do know who R-Vass is? He is the crazy diehard MAC and APPLE stuffs! He currently using iphone for a year, he has strongly faith in iphone. He is happy with it without issues/whines.. (i bet that he jump up and down that att offer tap for disabled people).

Not when it doesn't include txt messaging which is not a good deal IMO for deafies.

hi there... that is cool but my quote was refered to dbarovian since he talked about touchscreen.

sequoias · 05-13-2008, 09:56 PM

Ah, it looks like as if blackberry is trying to copy Apple's iphone. They did that with the HTC touch.

Yeah.. I don't wanted the blackberry copy apple's iphone or treo. because I don't like the on touch screen keyboard.. I like the feel of actual keys. Also, I get emails and instant messagings constantly throughout the day and BB's is the king of the QWERTY mobiles!

Wake me up when RIM decide to go for touch-screen.

Hot on the heels of the official BlackBerry Bold announcement, AT&T confirmed that they will be the first US carrier to carry the next-generation BlackBerry.

"AT&T will be the only U.S. carrier to offer the [Bold] when we begin selling it later this year. I also want to make sure you know that AT&T will be the only U.S. carrier to offer a BlackBerry that has international 3G capabilities and the only U.S. carrier to give its customers the ability to use their BlackBerry in such countries as Japan and South Korea," AT&T rep John Kampfe said in an email.

That one takes a little translation. AT&T will be first, but RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis told us that the Bold will be coming to all major US carriers - just after AT&T, and not that long after.

The "international 3G capabilities" comment is a dig at other carriers' Blackberries, especially the Sprint and Verizon BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, which is 3G fast here in the US but slows down to 2G when it goes to Europe. Way to get your hits in, AT&T.

UGH...it would suck if Verizon is the only one with exclusive deal of Sidekick-like Blackberry "Thunder".
