@ Blue,
Is that why he has not been around?

@ Adam,

Of course, T-Mo now owns SunCom. However, the stores and brand have not changed and who know when that will happen. Here is Raleigh, we still have SunCom stores.

This is a correction to the following: AT&T will be carrying the 8110 not the 8120. The 8110 has built in GPS. My understanding is that T-Mobile will be carrying the 8120.

Well this is exciting.. Unfortunately neither T-Mobile nor AT&T were the first US carrier of the 8120. It was actually SunCom Wireless, based out of North Carolina. They have had this phone for about a month and a half.. Not sure why it is taking other carriers so long to hop on the band wagon..

I too like bluehorseshoe’s sentiment that the vast majority of people do not know or care what type of technology their cell phone works on…and only care how well it works.

If a phone worked best on a network of 2 cans on a string that would be the better network. People are interested in end results, not technical details.

Who’s down with OPP? Every last homie! haha

“If it works the best, then it beats the rest.” Well said bluehorseshoe!

So if this is the next generation Pearl and it’s being released on ATT now, that means we probably won’t see it on Verizon until a year from now. Maybe it’ll be upgraded to include 3G at that point?!
