If some of our tipsters are to be believed, you very well might be able to mosey on down to your local T-Mobile shop and pickup a BlackBerry 8820 on March 5th. We’ve been told the unit will be identical to the AT&T version, but this time around it will support T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home service (obviously!). We haven’t got our thumbs on the pricing info just yet, but believe you me, you’ll have it when we’ve got it!
Thanks, faithful tipsters!
Told u so.. step ur game up BG. I told ya’ll this like a month ago.

Now if only there were some useful news from Tmo.. like when 3G is finally going to launch. At this rate there’s no reason to look forward to the 9000 without it.

What is the value of this? Would anyone really want a 8820 over the cooler 8320? Perhaps only lawyers who can’t have a Cameraberry.
I switched to @Home Talk Forever from plain @Home yesterday. Rep told me my $20/Month family @Home drops down to just $10/month. I hope she was right.

My best friend is a TMo rep and he told me about this earlier this week. So I’d say it’s pretty definite.

I agree with jawsnj. We need the VZW curve like yesterday. Or at least some speculation on when it’s coming. Keep up the good work BG.

Does it have built in WiFi and GPS?

Swing and a miss (again) RIM. What is so colossally hard about GPS, Camera and QWERTY in one phone? You’ve done every single feature combination EXCEPT for this.

Yes it has both same as att but t-mobiles network supports UMA.
