BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8210 coming to AT&T soon?
We know the BlackBerry 8900 has been slated as an AT&T device forever. Heck, Giz’s unit was AT&T branded, and then there’s also the mysterious vanishing act it pulled at CES. We also outed the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8210 (oh no, RIM isn’t even close to being done with the confusing models/different features) and that looks to be the unit AT&T is going to be launching first (we believe the 8220 will come to AT&T as well later). What everyone has been wondering, however, is when will these devices will actually see the light of day on AT&T. We just got some information that corroborates with what we’ve heard, but it isn’t from one of our normal tipsters. If you’re still interested, we have been told the BlackBerry 8900 is scheduled for a February release (we also heard the SKU is now appearing in AT&T’s systems), and that the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8210 is coming in March. Verizon isn’t going to be the only one, it seems. We haven’t got word on pricing yet, but we’d imagine you’ll see the Curve 8900 for around $199 and the Flip for around $99. Possibly lower if AT&T really wants to churn and burn.
P.S. The date also seems right because it does lineup with AT&T phasing out those EDGE devices. These could very well be the last of the Mohicans. Yeah, we totally said that.
I dont care about the 8900 anymore. Have you guys seen the curve 3 coming to at&t?
-larger screen
-more memory
-faster processor
-better camera
-3g
a little birdy told me 8210 was scrapped during the early stages of the pearl flip project.
@insider
Haha are you saying the Sprint Curve 2 will be EDGE?
^”insider” is still knocking to get in.
can anyone figure out when any new blackberrys such as the curve 8900 or the flip is coming out to sprint. thanks
Yo. Boy not so genius. Any word on AT&T getting the 8900 in February?
Well.. Happy March everyone and gee look, ATT did not deliver SQUAT!!
does anyone have ANY informaiton on a potential date, Im bout to go T-Mobile unlocked,which stinks because they brand the phone all over and its annoying.
Any word on the curve 8900 for at&t? because it is March and they still haven’t released it… I haven’t even seen advertisements of a possible release date.
Curve 8900 not coming to att acording to reps at both att and t-mob. Issue is not 3g. This is a problem as bold has problems, is more expensive and 3g just sucks battery. Ask iphone users who are unhappy and still mostly in 1st year of device.
Dude, speak or write english much! I cant even understand what your saying about the Iphone. Can anyone else confirm what he’s trying to say about the 8900 and AT&T?
I did a little more digging. I wouldn’t rely on AT&T or T-Mob reps for information, they want to buy whatever they have now rather than wait. See link http://www.techchuck.com/2009/02/14/blackberry-curve-8900-att-gets-non-camera-version/
…and some more digging. here’s a screenshot of the SKU in the AT&T database. http://forums.crackberry.com/f100/t-8900-means-no-9220-a-159883/
bbuser…before posting get some more reliable info next time.
I wish someone has something definite on the AT&T release date. I am in something of a time crunch and would hate to have to purchase a new phone (probably BB Bold) when I really want the 8900. If anyone has heard anything substantial the news would be greatly appreciated.
screw it. I hate to play the guessing game perpetuated by cleaver AT&T marketing guys.
While I realy don’t blame anyone for responding to the hype. We should blame ourselves for responding to these cleaver markeing ploys to generate enormous demand.
One can be sure, if we (myself too) just ignore AT&T altogether, and go on with own lives, they will come begging for our attentions (and money).
Any more word on a new Curve coming to AT&T soon?
So, as we know the Blackberry Flip 8210 is coming out for AT&T, at some point anyway. Well we know the sku is in the system and as of right now they are making some phones free. Plus right now the site is going through a change. With this all said, logically speaking the Blackberry Flip 8210 will be coming out either this month or the beginning of next.
can you tell me if the global blackberry is a bomb? and what is the # is it 8833?? i never s used a blackberry and am so afraid that i willnot be able to learn how… I wouldlike to have email . is ther ea book of instructions i can get.???.
So do we have an update when we can buy the 8900 curve from AT&T?
Is there a website where BB 8900 is for purchase with an AT&T cotract?
It’s April…have you heard any updates? I’m dying here…my old phone is so unhip and it’s time to upgrade. I’m about ready to switch to Verizon.
The bold sucks. My husband has it and it needs a reboot every day and also needs to be charged every day. Perhaps it’s the 3G, but whatever it is, I never reboot my curve — even after 4.5 update. And I can go an entire week on a charge. Any information on when we might actually get the Javelin would be helpful.
The Bold only has a 2.0 megapixel camera, while the 8900 will have a 3.2 megapixel camera. Outside of being two completely different lines of phones from Blackberry, that’s the only difference I can note.
Any update on the pearl flip for at&t? I kept hearing about March/early April but we are now going into early May…
