I think that is obvious - we have all seen the spyshots and boygenious reports/pics. I was asking if anyone here on bbforums has the device.

[rcm]

You got us... we were foolin there aint no device BG just got a device and photoshopped it... egg on our faces. BG does it all the time remember the time he had shots of the 8800... oh wait that one was a reality too. :razz:

[NCBuckeye]

The people that have them can't say they have them. Some mods probally do but can't announce they do.

[Mjimenez0]

excatly if you are every beta testing a phone you can't let anyone know you are beta testing

[Galvatron]

heck i would not mind beta testing that kind of stuff i like taking devices beyond"intended specs"

[jojo6]

i promise i don't have one. i am not enjoying it right now.

[greggebhardt]

I am not allowed to tell anyone that I have the 8300 for testing.

[greggebhardt]

That is the secret date we are all trying to find out. Does not sound like you have been around here too long as this is the way it is.

I can tell you one thing, you will read it here first when the date IS announced!

[NJBlackBerry]

When will the 8300 be out for Nextel?

<heh heh heh>

Now that WILL be a long wait!

I do miss the direct connect but I enjoy better coverage and zero dropped calls with Cingular!

I wish Cingular worked that well for me in Chicago. I had three dropped calls inside of an hour yesterday.

[blakeatl]

NJBlackBerry....what is an MHM?

[BBAdmin]

Some mods probably do but can't announce they do

You're probably right!

[TheBigNewt]

They're waiting for it to grow a little before they release it. They want it to be as big as the 8800!

[BlackBerryCoolSteve]

You're probably right!

holier than thou.

[BBAdmin]

;-)

[Srwilliams]

Man, this thread got me thinking beyond whether Boy Genuis actually has the phone, but now i am wondering if BG actually exists!

I paid $3k for a phone once, had to have it first. Problem was having was not near as good as wanting.

[quillhill]

Um, soon. Or, quite possibly later. My bet is somewhere in between.

You are kidding right? I think I'm going to be sorry but I have to ask WHAT PHONE?:shock:

[FarSeide]

i bet he had Nextel's i1000 and he paid 3K for i1000 plus...

And I've got some swampland just east of Florida you're just gonna love. 8-)

[rambo47]

I'm a "gotta have it now" kind of guy, but I never paid that much! Man, you got it bad, huh? I'm almost to that point with the 8300 but my Pearl is keeping me sane. For now.

[mortys11]

yup

i use to be like that...i paid 2k for a Star Tac....the original LCD screen model,

one of the first in Canada then, or so i was told.

now i dont really care unless its a super device and the pearl or 8800 didnt do it for me...the cam,wifi, gps model might....but then i will want the 3g model which will come 3-6 months after that....

i waited for the color 7230...then 7290....the big jump was the 8700...next stop 3G

[John Clark]

... Problem was having was not near as good as wanting.

So true!

[brucejr]

The chase is far more exciting than the capture.8-)

Dude, Mr. Spock said that 40 years ago on Star Trek...or he will 200 years from now on Vulcan...

Have you tried the cingy PTT on the BB? It's no Nextel, but it's not bad.

[BlackBerryCoolSteve]

I just dropped mine in the snow. Hope RIM can send me a new one.

[John Clark]

I'm having problems with 4.3.2 OS on the 8300....Anyone have the OS to download? I want to wipe and reinstall.

[ezrunner]

How much is it worth to ya JC?

Go to the super secret section of the forums!!! Ill help ya there!!!

[greggebhardt]

It may have worked well for you but we had them remove PTT after only a few days because it was so bad. We would let go of the button and it would still be stuck in PTT and would have to turn the phone off to get it to stop. My company used Nextel and we loved it but it did not have the coverage when we left the beaten path. We voted for coverage and left PTT behind. Maybe they will improve it but Nextel's PTT was simply outstanding

[greggebhardt]

And I've got some swampland just east of Florida you're just gonna love. 8-)

Beatback,
Somehow I knew you would have another comment. Remember that $3k is not worth the same to everyone and you are showing your "size" with this comment!

And you need to own swampland before you could sell it! <vbg>
