I think this is as close to confirmed as we’ll get for the next little while. An email’s been sent out to T-Mobile customers, one brought to attention by our new favourite BBCool reader Darien, and one that lends some 8800 info – it’s coming, it’s coming.
As you know T-Mobile USA has been working to stay on the cutting edge of the wireless industry. To this end we have been working to introduce products that will showcase our position as the premier carrier in the US…
…the second link (to BlackBerry8800.com – Steve) gives you a look at the newest BlackBerry – the BlackBerry 8800 that will be released in April. It has the full keyboard like the BlackBerry 8700 in a sleek case like the BlackBerry Pearl.
Think of it as only a few weeks away, folks.
I am one of you customer at present, my contract has run out several months ago. I need to replace it and obtain a Blackberry 8800.How can this be done,a and is ther better deals? Vodapone is offering good deals at present. This include lots more talke time and messages, and also much cheeper use of the phone abroad. I use mine in Egypt.
Please advise me
my telephone number is 07748631000.
