Why would someone want this on the consumer level as opposed to the Curve? Oh well. I can see corporate using it for bad recetion indoors and require a device with no camera.

I think one of the reasons it has taken so long to come out after making it’s debut in Europe is because there really hasn’t been that much demand for it.

It,a a good phone for the corporate market, and may do well for those companies looking to ditch some of their old BB’s that are 2 years or older. But on the consumer level? It’s the curve if you’re looking for the full keyboard.

@ Steve…I mean hellno

First off, if you’re going to provide facts, then get them straight and stop pasting crap. TMO is no longer working with Starbucks. AT&T has taken that over. Secondly, How many hotspots does TMO have on I95 exit 16W? And third, my point is why would someone want this model when the Curve is a better option for the consumer market, which TMO sells.

Geez, you just post to argue and provide propoganda and old material.

@ hellno/Steve

First off, you were the one that was banned from the site, that being your ‘hellno’ handle. I see some of your ‘Bob’ posts have already been removed.

Secondly, TMO was booted and AT&T took over the Starbucks wifi network. TMO customers can only link in via AT&T’s wifi in Starbucks. Sure they can hop on, but $$$ to do so, not part of that sweet plan they had before.

Thirdly, it’s my opinion that the Curve is a better option for the consumer market. Better keyboard, camera, slightly smaller as well. Haven’t you read previous posts from people disliking the 88** series, yet boast about the Curve?

Comon’ man…are you actually going to argue that the 88** series is better than the curve for the consumer market? I think you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.

@ ‘Steve’ (hellno)

Welcome back! We all missed you. Dearly.

Whatever…my point still stands. The 8820 is more attractive for the corporate marketplace than the general consumer. I would think the Curve is a more attractive option for the consumer market, not to mention it’s cheaper.

Just so everyone knows, I’m not having a conversation with myself. Steve, known as hellno, or Bob, has been removed along with his comments, which is whom I was responding to. I’m perfectly sane, I think.

Thats really cool news, The BlackBerry 8820 is the stylish looking device With powerful capabilities, yet incredibly compact and slim with a premium finish. Elegant and performance-driven, this is a Device you’ll always want to show off.

@ Blue,

I still log on at Charbux using my T-MO account. As far as i can tell, there has been no change compared to before the new agreement. I have also been told that I can still use my T-MO account even after the switch to ATT due to an agreement between them. However, the log in screens and signs on the door are still T-MO. I will update you when that changes.

It is the only benefit I have received due to our company having a T-Mo cell plan. As we do not have T-MO in my area, I grabbed the WiFi account instead as they gave us a few for sigining an agreement.

So that is where he went…..
