It's confirmed that there is a HUGE backorder and that no one even has a clue as to when the next shipment of 8800's will come in. ARGH!!! Anyone know of anything I can say to T-Mo's reps so that I can order this thing? I'm itching for an upgrade :) Called T-Mobile B2B support.

Is there a processor difference between the 8800 and 8300 series? Thanks! TBG, is the 8800 or 8300 going to have auto update of the timezone using the network time?

So call your tmo rep on monday and see if you can get some price matching going on ;) yup there is one price point (via gizmodo)

I have had my 7105t for over a year, and have held back somehow through the Pearl and the Cingy 8800. Finally, the 8800 on T-mo. But I won't buy it. As soon as I heard of the T-mo VOIP WiFi thing ( http://www.theonlyphoneyouneed.com/ ) I committed myself to waiting for a capable phone. Due to the fact that I spend 60+ hours a week at work, and have nearly NO cell reception in the building, placing a hotspot in the office and getting perfect reception would be amazing. Here's hoping the 83XX series shows up soon, and man, it had better have WiFi, because this Blackberry craving won't go away!

Nope. I'm waiting for the 8320! The WiFi addition will be great, especially in areas where I care more about data than I do about voice. (Like my office.) I did spend a few minutes with a Cingular 8800 and it is a beautiful device. For some reason (and I can't say yes or no either way), the 8320 looks more "rugged" than the 8800. Ruggedness isn't a huge concern though I've been through several Pearls that have scratched, had parts come loose (the sides especially) and so on. My old 8700 has been drop kicked, splashed, stepped on and more -- and it still looks brand new. We'll see. :) Any other info from BG about the 83xx on T-Mobile and that May 7 rumor? 8800? Nope.

I stand by my sleuth statement, I just didn't know someone beat me to it. (Jaron Brass @ Apr 19, 2007 @ 12:25 am, for the record). I've been hitting the TMO site everyday now @ night for those images. Well, I would then say, I was the first to report it to Boy Genius, via proper channels maybe... Who knows, who cares. Let's just celebrate the arrival of the 8800 on T-Mobile, and move forward. Ah, I didn’t see that, honest. I stand by my sleuth statement, I just didn’t know someone beat me to it.
