No 3g Cingular

Why would Cingular accept this phone or make any phones from now on without 3G. I dont get it.

I still think the Nokia E50 is still the all around best phone available....size style features and so on and battery life.

If you think the E50 phone is still the best around why do you care about 3G. It doesn't have 3G. AT&T is taking this device because RIM is making it available and gives users more choice. Pearl, 8800, 8300.. etc. Whu NOT offer it?

Your question is like asking why they'd even make a car without a sunroof becasue most people like to have a sunroof? Those that really want a 3G berry will just wait until RIM releases a 3G device for GSM. Until then, the 8300 may be a great update for those using an older model berry or an 8800 but wants a camera.

Some of use can afford to upgrade as often as we want. I bought the 8800. Will take care of it until the 8300 is realeased. Will Ebay the 8800 and take a loss I'm sure. I don't care. I loose mo...

So then you even further invalidated your post. What does it matter then? T-Mobile will release a 3G BB after they release 3G.

3G is still not available in a lot of areas, so it's not a huge concern for many people. Obviously if you live in a 3G area, you would want a 3G phone, but for those of us that do not, we really don't care. I won't get 3G where I live for at least another year or so, and I only travel into 3G areas maybe 3-5 times a month, so I really don't care about it yet.

This is probably why Cingular is accepting the phone. That, and the thing looks to be kicka$$.

Also, what most people don't realize about 3G is the horrible toll it takes on your battery life. Mark my words, the same people who are bitching about the lack of 3G on this blackberry will be bitching about the battery life on the next version that does.

I swear I just want to hurl everytime I hear someone grip about a devices feature set. If want to grip becasue you bought it and the OS is slow, or it crashes all the time, or the hardware is cheap or falling apart, or the voice quality is bad, or just an overall bad implimentation, FINE. But bitching about a missing feature on a device you haven't puchased is just usless. It's like complaining about a Honda Civic because it doesn't have 4WD! Why spend all day gripping about stuff I wo...

Let me make it clear.....i dont like Blackberrys at all. Im a Nokia Guy PERIOD. But i was just making a comment about the CURVE because Cingular talk about its 3g so much. And most of the people need a Blackberry are in 3G areas. Im just wondering why accept a phone without 3g from this point on. Almost ALL of VERIZON phones have EVDO and its not available everywhere either.

Oh and name one thing by the way that a blackberry can do that my E50 cant do. Just wondering.

Whether you don't like BB or not, whether you're a Nokia person or not, you have even further, again, invalidated your post with the comment "Let me make it clear.....i dont like Blackberrys at all." Homer is right, if you're not going to buy it anyways, there's no reason for you to comment or complain about it. I'm not saying you don't have the right to an opinion but at least put that right to good use instead of pointless mouthing off. All you're doing is wasting your time and everyone else's in regards to people reading your pointless posts and then responding to them letting you know how pointless they are. You might even make some intelligent points but what does it matter if you would never get a BB anyways?
