All I'm saying is RIM needs to give Sprint some love and help them release a device within a reseonable amount of time. The Curve came out mid 2007 so its been just about a year since it was first released.]]>May 6th 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/
Why is a third world country chuck full of 3G enabled phones and has better network coverage, and we can't have that throughout one god damn state?]]>May 7th 2008 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/EDGE!? WTF? Even T-Mobile has 3G out now (in some markets) and BB is only doing CDMA 3G? not GSM/WCDMA 3G?? WTF RIM? How hard can it be to deliver an UMTS phone?

If you're going to only do EDGE on the GSM side, why not step back down to 1xRTT on the CDMA side? Losers.

Or, you know, maybe deliver a BB9000 that has AT&T and T-Mo-USA compatible UMTS/HSPA... wouldn't THAT be an earth shattering concept...

Oh, and, deliver a phone capable of Bluetooth DUN while you're at it.]]>May 6th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/May 6th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/
I love Blackberry's, but a 3G iPhone may be next move after almost 9 years with RIM.

Although you might not be able to buy it for a few weeks...]]>May 7th 2008 3:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/
WTF??? Taking a step back like what? 5 years? EDGE/EV-DO were like, 2.5g.

OF COURSE THEY WILL HAVE EDGE OR EV-DO!!!! Most dataphones, even your fancy pants 3g ones have EDGE for networks that don't have 3g or if say you're roaming and the po-dunk town you're in doesn't have 3g yet. 3g isn't everywhere, so of course they're going to put these techs in there. But what's the point of making these phones w/o 3g???? That's what I don't get. If these are smartphones, to be used with data plans, people are going to (probably) (for the most part) spend money on a data plan that isn't limited by speed or protocol, but by actual used throughput (so many MB for so many $s) or get an unlimited data plan. Either way, the standard their phone uses to connect will (or should be) location dependent [ie network dependent (if there's 3g in the hood or not)].

Manufacturing these phones, at least for the US or Europe, is a completely moronic idea. Maybe the receiver chip is a tad cheaper, but um, how much is that going to drop the cost of the phone to the end user? We won't know cause we won't be able to tell. Maybe it makes sense for a foreign market of some kind, where they are still struggling to implement an EDGE network.

I mean hey let's just for kicks manufacture an iPhone that supports AMPS!!!! ]]>May 7th 2008 5:24PM
