BlackBerry Curve 8900 Coming to T-Mobile USA
I'm not getting it?
Same crap with no 3G! 😡
I know, I know. It's smaller, lighter, newer, faster...processor. But what's the point if it's not going to take advantage of a carrier's 3G or at the very least give the user the option.
ATT and TMO both still sell all the non-3G BB's.
I think it would be easy, cheap, and make RIM a ton of money if they just took their current models and slapped each carriers 3G chip in them and re-advertised them as 3G capable.
A ton...more people would be buying BB's.

Well, for starters, not everyone cares about 3G, and secondly, at&t has the Bold which is 3G.

RIM seems to have a knack for releasing devices on a regular basis. Could they be waiting for the next version? From what I understand, ATT and TMO don't have much 3G coverage at this point anyway.
There are smarter smart phones, but none as solid all around as the curve.

3G radio antennas consume significantly more battery power than RIM has been comfortable with. The Bold is their first 3G BB. RIM has had trouble adapting 3G radios to their BB's because of that battery issue. Carriers may have a problem with a BB that would only last a couple of hours as well. I'm not saying that as a fact, just an opinion based on my experience and what I've seen. 🙂
F.Y.I. Ever since the BB 8703, every Blackberry that has come to Sprint has been 3G. They do eat battery life significantly faster, but thats just the tradeoff I guess... the 8830 has a pretty good battery life with 3G though.
