What do you bet, TMO?

Bet this is headed to TMO.
UMA, Wi-Fi, EDGE, Quad band GSM.

This one probably is. The other carriers should all get a version eventually. The current curve is due for a replacement.

Nice phone 😁

Its already found in AT&T branding, but I'm sure TMO will get it, more or less at the same time.

Thats not at&t branded its just showing at&t as the network its connected to. This happens alot with unlock/generic phones even though its with T-mobile.

There is no reason at&t would carrier this phone. It has UMA in it and at&t doesn't use uma. It coming to T-mobile at the end of Jan. or Feb.

No reason AT&T would carrier this phone?!?

I understand the misconception that because this is a UMA device that it would automatically qualify it as a T-MO device, but... AT&T is TESTING and PILOTING UMA... UMA was a great idea, and it's unfortunate that T-MO beat AT&T to the punch, but T-MO needed the extra kick in reception to make up ground. UMA is in AT&T's future... This is an AT&T device...

I think he was just continuing the threat.

The reason AT&T would want this device is to replace or start replacing the present Curves, as well as have a slick BB at a lower price point. Many people do not wish to drop down $399 and then a rebate for this phone. But will at a lower cost. Yes, $100 or so less would get more people to buy.

I also think, while AT&T is going to get this phone, TMO will get it at near the same time or soon afterwords.

Then again, who knows? We can all speculate. It would not surprise me if TMO gets it first and AT&T soon afterwords. Carriers do what they want, when they want to. If the Bold continues to sell well, AT&T may not wish to bottom feed off of potential sales.
