I’m glad I didn’t get the 8900 since there are rumors of a 3G Blackberry coming out. I’m trying to wait to see if the new Storm comes to T Mo but if it doesn’t and we get a 3G BB instead I think ill be happy. Of course if I keep getting crappy service with T Month like I have been that would be reason enough to switch and try out their line of BBs

Sorry for the mixup it was thought to be a Bold but its called the Driftwood/9600 its the same form factor as bold with the Keyboard, size of the tour. 3G/ T-mobile exclusive, I say this August!

This low-end BB 8520 really should be on TMO USA’s Prepaid line-up.

With such a low price could anyone predict how much this phone will be without a contract?

Nice info. Should be making it’s way over India. Dang they’re pricing it cheap huh?

And dang BG even said it’s coming with the optical. Give him a break.

So I notice that everyone creams their panties everytime theres a new blackberry coming out, but aside from a few minor cosmetic differences, they all look exactly alike!

Wheres the fun in that??

Huh I just noticed that this contradicts the other roadmap that got leaked.

On the other one the Bigfoot was the replacement for the G1 when it EOLd. Here they’ve got the two side by side.

If the phones too cheap for you then don’t get it. It’s a great BlackBerry for people not looking to spend the $ for the more expensive models

Will this one have Wi-Fi???

This phone BLOWS! I get all the “optical trackball” hype but come on! No GPS and the screen is a downgrade from the 8900. Anyone who would get this in-lieu of the 8900 for any other reason then price is crazy. My contract is up in november and I will be gettin the 8900 if nothing new is on the horizon by then. Im waiting for tmo and rim to get their sh*t together and release a 3G bb already!!!

Bold On Pink this August!

3G Blackberry Bold 9000 On T-mobile.

This is great news. I’ll probably end up just getting my brother this BlackBerry instead of a 8900 since he isn’t too particular on what phone he has as long as it’s a BlackBerry and has a qwerty keyboard.

I might just get the 8900 for myself now…

-BG is da’ man. In fact he should have an App so we can all get push updates
-So about this T-Mo Bold, can anyone confirm?

Cut BG some slack dudes. Look at the picture, it has “Stricly Confidential” and “T-Mobile” clearly watermarked in it. BG isn’t saying this is what a 8520 will look like, it’s what TMobile is saying it will look like. Since the device isn’t even announced from RIM, no surprise the picture T-Mobile is sending out isn’t of the real thing.

Just Google 8520 Images!

No Trackball on this Model!

Wait what? I’m confused thought the 8520 was going to be the start of the “BlackBerry In A Box” concept, guess not.

It’s just an old image I believe… 100% optical trackpad when it launches.

By: joe

joe — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:45:15 +0000

the first computer image? what does that even mean? someone made it in photoshop? it looks shitty as hell, and theres real pictures of it already out, that show it with the optical track ball. whats going on here

By: JoeTour

JoeTour — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:44:59 +0000

can we get a better pick i cant tell whats what and how much its too small

By: DavidThande

DavidThande — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:38:44 +0000

I’m not too happy about the introduction of this model, I wanted T-Mobile to push out a 3G Berry……although I’m relieved to hear that the Bold will be hitting T-Mobile this August…

yah, wrong pic, it’s supposed to have an optical track thing. not the ball.

By: Dave

Dave — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:34:30 +0000

That’s perfect. As soon as my contract end, and I can get a new line, and get mine for cheaper on a new contract.

By: AndGuz

AndGuz — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:33:18 +0000

Uhhh, isn’t this supposed to be track-ball-less?
