Um, ok, so there was a typo, get a grip people!!! I have been coming to this site for a year now. BGR is more accurate than not> last year they called the releases date of the Curve exactly! I was very happy. My wife works for TMO, and i was telling her when they were getting it. So BGR, keep doing your thing! Like none of us here ever made a mistake. Be thankful we get all this pre-release news!

Touchscreen Touchsreen! Touchscreen!!! hello RIM people??? Anyone home…lol Why can’t i get what i want? I don’t understand. My girlfriend doesn’t seem to know how to make my favorite meal the right way no matter how many time i show her, Apple can’t seem to put out touchscreen macbooks no matter how many times i yell at the sales people, and rim can’t put out a touchscreen device with a physical qwerty keyboard…i don’t know, am i asking for too much? What is the point of this device? It’s the same as the old curve with a few upgrades but no major differences from what i read. I hope they’re not turning into LG or Samsung who keep putting out phones every second week and only every 6th one is worth while to write home about. Till now RIM has been WOWing us with every release but this one…this is the first sign of RIM milking their popularity for what it’s worth. Im not a fan of than.

@ NOThtckid:
Damn straight homey.

AT&T is still pushing for December, they are indeed boxed and ready to ship, last minute techincal applications are being discussed. this will be pushed out a lot faster than the bold since it does not have to deal with all the 3g complications of the former. As of now, its up to AT&T when they want to release the device. Rim has given the go ahead for December. Tmobile fans will have to wait till AFTER At&t. Ive still yet to see a single phone destined for tmobile US.

@ BB214

I’m looking forward to this release. I took back my Bold after less than a week because
1) 399 before a rebate is crazy esp. when we now see that the Storm is going for $250/$200 @ Best Buy.
2) I didn’t get 3G at home and work. The two places I use my phone most often. So for me this is the best bet.

@ Brad – storm is missing wifi because verizon doesnt want it

#2 – the 8900 cannot have 3g otherwise it would cannobolize bold sales…its really not that hard to figure that out.

I wish this was coming out on Black Friday on TMO USA.

Bring it on! I wanna see this phone in my stocking this Xmas. And I hope Robbers won’t fleece us Canadians with some stupid introductory price!

We do like BGR, but that doesn’t diminish the need for proof-reading. Espically on a site like BGR.
Does T-Mobile Germany sell phone w/out a contract?

Nice phone if it had 3G- BB is weird like that. Some yes, some no. Rarely seem to have all the features, even Storm missing wi-fi etc.

No 3G is a deal breaker for me, I will keep my curve for a while.

The writing, spelling, grammar, and copy editing on BGR is a total joke. you know that. you read b/c they get “scoops” on stuff first, even if they’ve been more wrong than right over the past 6 months. But c’mon, spelling a company’s name right? ROFLCOPTERZ!

“Carephone Warehouse”? Come on BG! Tell your writers to proof-read their articles before they post.
