For all of you switching to verizon, you're going to hate ur phones, why? because your phones will be Locked down, you'll have severe limitations to what you can do, and find alot of features will be missing, as for the service, you've got me there. att had to wait 90 days to drop thier curve, because tmobile had 90day exclusive rights to the 8900 in the US.

They have done very little to help push consumer oriented BB's since the Iphone was released - and those of us with old devices (like my 8100) who want new devices are very much looking forward to a change - and it just so happens that VZW has some potentially big consumer BB's (Flip/Tour/Storm2) coming soon - while ATT has nothing to offer but a much, much delayed Curve upgrade. And even still - the likelyhood of it coming out in June should be taken with several grains of salt. Sadly TMO is the only one pulling in the new BB's here, and up in New England, their service is abysmal - so not many will make that jump. As for the rest of the whining in this thread.. well - its the interwebz - what do you expect? ;) @Wireless

This post is about the AT&T Blackberry 8900 and somehow a few people have turned it into commentary about the Tour, how many phones Verizon is getting and coverage. Pretty much the same people, attacking those who disagree with Verizon and putting down AT&T in the "carrier wars" in almost every post on the site. How did this happen? Just an observation…

I want a 3G phone period when I upgrade, so while I like the look of the new Jupiter, I'll stick with my 8310 and wait out a 3G Curve in 6 months or break down and buy a Bold. I'm guessing (praying) that AT&T will start to lower the price of the Bold (still very expensive even for a refurb) when Verizon releases the Tour as part of their marketing plan to keep customers who might make the jump to Big Red.

I never said anything about you calling in to complain. You said you had great experiences with their customer service, I said I didn know how Verizon's customer service is because I've never had to call in, but I've never spoken/contacted/emailed their customer service. I pay my bills online, upgrade online and have never had a reason to "have great experiences with customer service" @ rob

Blackberries are becoming more and more popular with teenagers and college students (My age group). Most teenagers couldn't care less if it's 3G or not; they want a BB for the looks and to check their facebook. This is smaller than the bold which fits for people who want the newest BB, but not a bulky one. People who have the current Curves on ATT now have the newest model as an upgrade option and people who want a BB for looks can now get the newest and thinnest model.

People just want something to complain about. Thats how America is anymore and why companies don't manufactor anything in the US because people always feel they are worth more than what they earn but don't want to work more.
