Im just so glad that its been confirmed that ill be out on the 11th, im sure im not the only one in this forums that has being waiting a long time for this release!!! Even my husband likes the red but hehehe i already said thats what im gettng s he will get the Titanium.8-)

Also i was wondering if anyone here knew if it was true that the 8320 was also going on AT&T, even tho i doubt it, with the 8310 and Built-in GPS who would want Wi-Fi over it????

Hehehe just wondering:razz:

Yes it is supposed to replace the 8300. Even if it wasn't, who would buy the 8300 now that the 8310 has an extra feature (GPS) for the same price?

Well ... it does look like the iPhone .... but smaller, with the addition of a keyboard, more rounded corners, thicker, smaller screen, and a darker grey! OH .. and the lettering that says BlackBerry.

Ohhhhh ... who am I kidding! It looks nothing like an iphone!! lol

I am not into colored phones and trust me, the red looks good. It is not that fake red or the raspberry red like the Pearl. It is real friggin red with black keys.. If I had not gotten hooked up today with a 8820 I might have gone for it... Heck, I might go for it down the road anyways...

I work for AT&T and i've already got dibs on one of the three from the first shipment we receive. I'm getting the red. Hell I used to carry a pink razor :X Takes a REAL man to carry something like that....lol. I think the red is stylish yet professional looking at the same time. Although I have been envious of you TMO guys with the titanium...so maybe i'll get both.

I have an 8700, 7100, 8800, 8820, 8300 (curve), and 8100 (pearl, in red and black)...i just can't get away from using my 8800 series more then the curve. It's just a better built device as far is the feel of it goes. The curve, even though it's an AMAZING phone, feels cheaply made and i think it is (that's why people have the dust starfield problems and all). IF they took all the entertainment features from the curve (camera, media player, speaker quality, etc...) and combined them with the 8820 AND made it 3G I would NEVER EVER purchase another cellphone until they upgrade networks again. Unfortunately, it'll never happen, which is why i have just about every good blackberry made. Right now i'm going back and forth between the curve and the 8820 just because it's nice to have the wifi when i'm over seas and i don't wanna rack up an insane data bill, because WiFi is EVERYWHERE in Europe. I also like the black housing on the 8820 vs the 8800. :D

I'll post pictures when I get them in. I am half and half on if i'm going to just go ahead and get both colors, but i probably will knowing the tech nerd i am :(

I've heard in more than one place that pricing will be the same as the 8300. Does anyone know that for a fact?

10-06-2007, 08:55 PM
From same manager who sent me the data sheet: Same pricing as the curve. Rebate however could not be confirmed and apparently was not mentioned in the email the stores got. So, perhaps same price, but maybe no rebate yet?

There is DEFINITELY a $100 rebate on this. I'm looking at the rebate form from the AT&T website and the 8310 is on it. I printed it out so that it doesn't somehow mysteriously disappear. ;-)

You're going to need to print the rebate form and check it out yourself. There's a lot of small print. I'm not a lawyer, and I know from my own experience that that it's in the small print that they get you.

Otherwise, why have a rebate at all? Just do an instant rebate UNLESS you can disqualify customers for not crossing every t and dotting every i.

All I know is that I'm getting the rebate because my contract expired and they don't have me locked up. Also, I'm pretty sure you have to sign up for the unlimited data plan too (at ~$30/month).

Pricing will be the same as the 8300. This is more of a device replacement rather than a new device launch. Everything that was applicable to the 8300 will be applicable to the 8310. Shipments should either have already arrived today or by Wednesday COB (possibly slipping into Thursday afternoon for some stores). Ordering should begin on Wednesday with delivery and availability on Thursday.

So, while a few of us are waiting for Thursday, some more patiently that others, there was the question if the 8310 was going to be covered by the rip-off mail in rebate.

There was a good column today about mail-in rebates here in California, and they were using cell phones as an example:

http://http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20071008/NEWS/710080312

California's in the process of passing a law that eliminates mail-in rebates, period. Retailers either have to advertise product at the pre-rebate price OR honor the rebate at the cash register.

Yep, just what everyone knows. Mail-in rebates are a rip-off.

I live in Cal. They are only a rip now for those that don't claim them. With the systems in place now I always get mine. And that is how the price is lowered for me - by the ones that don't claim them. This will cause prices to rise. Just like JC's comment below.

10-08-2007, 10:50 PM
Yeah, but if you're supposed to get your money back, why not do so right there on the spot? They make you jump through hoops, and it can be very slow going.

I had one not that long ago that got denied for some inane reason. It kind of worked out because somehow, they "forgot" about billing me for service (not cell service). I filled out all the paperwork, crossed every t, dotted every i. DENIED!

I think what the new law will do here is force everyone into the instant rebate mode, which makes it easy, and QUICK!

JSanders
10-08-2007, 10:56 PM
it will work both ways, but manufacturers' rebates will less be passed along by the retailer, because most retailers will not go through the hassle and paperwork, hence it won't be offered as a discount.

With a rebate, it is $$ out of the manufacturers' pockets. Instant rebates will mean less overall $$ volume for the retailers.

Maddog this is your dog buddy. Here's the math. I got 10 bones that cost me $4 each to buy. I sell them for $5 each. Now I go and give rebates. My history shows only 5 people will claim them. So I offer a 1 dollar rebate. If I have instant rebates, I now net $40. If I don't and my rebate is a $1 , then 5 people get them for $4.00 and 5 people get them for 5. My gross is 45 with a 5 dollar profit. Some win and some lose. With this law, some rebates die. Cal has 13% of the population. This is not a good thing for all consumers. Not an easy choice.

Stinson, that's my point. Some people get them and some people don't. It's like in Michael Moore's Sicko where it's someone's job to deny initial claims so that people just give up. Persistence pays, but it's really not a very good, or fair, system.

On the other hand, I've had a couple of mail-ins with Cingular/AT&T and they've been problem free, so we'll see.

I agree that in the past it was hit or miss. But now with the services doing it I think its rarely a miss and when I have called they have taken care of me. I paid -$50 for my 8310.

I'm getting entirely too much time to think between now and Thursday.

I'm just now seeing some of the cool things that the wi-fi enable you to do, so it would be nice to have that TOO. But the only way to get the GPS and the wi-fi is to go with the 8820, but then you forego the camera.

I'm now forced to decide on 2 out of 3 (GPS, wi-fi, camera) between the 8820 and 8310. Hmmm .... Damn. It would be nice to have the wi-fi, but since this is my personal BB, the ability to take spur of the moment pictures has to be a higher priority, right?

Besides, from holding both the 8820 and 8300, the Curve felt much better and for some reason, the keys on the 8820 really felt awkward to me and I'm thinking I'd really have problems with it.

Decisions, decisions .... :?

Red 8310? 8-)

Get both. Although they aren't that easy to switch off due to the position of the SIM card. You will get used to either keyboard within weeks.

I had the 8300 and really loved it, especially being able to have a pretty good camera with you at all times. I sold it and got the 8820. I will say though, and I know it's a matter of opinion, but I personally like the keyboard on the 8820 more than the 8300. It just feels more durable. The entire build of the 8820 feels much more sturdy than the 8300, but of course that's only a matter of opinion.

Sorry to spoil the countdown and be the bearer of bad news :-(
I just received word of a delay in the launch from 10/11 to 10/16. I received the following email from a sales consultant I know in a local ATT store and a confirmation of the delay from our Global Account Manager with ATT. I'd be interested to see if anyone hears something similar.

*******
CURVE II Launch Announcement

We were just made aware of a delay in product shipment for both color SKU's of the Curve 8310 from RIM which will result in us delaying the product launch for all channels to Tuesday, 10/16. The good news is there are plenty of Curve 8300's in the field and in the warehouses to accommodate this shift in launch. Supply Chain had already set the 8310 Titanium to populate orders for stores when their 8300 stock is w/in replenishment need. The Red 8310's will be proactively shipped upon launch.

Yep, just what everyone knows. Mail-in rebates are a rip-off.

As a matter of fact, I sent in 2 rebates to AT&T for my wife's Razr, and my son's Sync. The waited 8 weeks, then sent me a letter stating that some of my documentation was missing...BS! I sent in photocopies and finally got my $$, but I am old enough and cynical enough be believe that the manufacturers are under no pressure to actually deliver the rebates....many of us forget, etc about them...

Now wait a minute.....no launch until 10/16?? I am about to just go get an 8300 or an 8320 and blow off AT&T. Or maybe I will wait for the next generation Blackjack that I read about today....

Ok i didn't understand much of what you just said... does it mean that they aren't going to have any n stock until the 8300's are completely sold???

& also, if they put some in stock then would it be the Titanium??? i think is what you wrote but maybe I'm just so tried of waiting my brain is not processing all this info since i guess from not sleeping and thinking too much of the release of the 8310 have burn more than a few braincells i still had left, hehehe call me geeky or whatever you want, maybe Blonde would be the right term.
Anyways hoe to hear news from anyone, my friend sad to me to come on the weekend to her AT&T store at the one she is here in Orlando that supposedly they will have them available so we can see what they look & feel like.

Well, this wasn't on the AT&T website yesterday:

Sign on to Yahoo! Messenger with the RIM BlackBerry 8310 using Handheld Software Version 4.x (http://supportcingular.atgnow.com/cng/tutorials/KB85243.html)

So, that's a good sign.

With all the B.S. that's been on here, the most rational thing I've heard so far is the one I heard from my own local store. They've been shipped and are in transit.

Everyone I've talked to at my local store says that they have very few details on new releases. Products tend to show up whenever AT&T decides to distribute them and that there's no grand scheme to it.

No one's camped out and counting down for this like for the iPhone (except for boobybabymommy), so I'll go back to what I said before and like Yogi would have said; it'll get there when it gets there. :razz:

Kinda annoyed with the misinformation of this thread. I can't think of a device that came out, where within 2 weeks we didn't have solid information that all rumor sources agree'd on. We have come and gone past what reputable rumor contributors have said it to be, now we're sitting on three dates, today, the 16th, and the 24th, which nobody has confirmed. Supposedly multiple people have talked to stores who said they know they're shipped and in transit to the stores, but I call BS on that, every release, and we've all gone through them together, they're available online before the stores, and they typically ship these to the stores overnight. Additionally, store personnel never know they're in transit until they show up to the stores... ugh, I dislike misinformation. IF they were shipped to the stores, someone will have their hands on one by COB today, otherwise that rumor is false.

I'm just as eager as you to get my hands on the 8310, but don't shoot the messengers. It's not like AT&T issued any official press releases or anything with a release date. What you've seen on this thread are leaked internal documents and communications. If you've ever anticipated a phone release and followed the forum posts ahead of time, you've seen phones get pushed back time and time again.

That being said, where the heck is the 8310 already?! :smile:

Well, Here it is, Thursday morning (on the west), Has anyone got their 8310 yet?
It is too early for me to call my local AT&T

And of those of you just joining us....

The 8310 is NOT on AT&T website today, so I have a feeling the 10/16 date might be right.

I have both the Red and Titanium in stock. The issue that we have is that one customer got one from us yesterday but was told by both AT&T and Blackberry that the PIN cannot be activated. We are online sellers only - no retail sales. I have not been able to resolve this for this customer. I was thinking that maybe they locked them until the official release?

RIIIIIIIIGHT... "Online only sales" ... does your company also distribute inherritances of the royal family of Uzbiquistan due to the sudden and untimely deaths of the heirs?

How bout this, put both colors next to each other and put a business card with bbforums 10/11 on it and attach a picture. Surely that can't be a big deal right? Nothing fancy... oh and picture of the AT&T box too!

The "wait until they receive their shipment this afternoon" was the same thing I got from my local store.

I don't honestly believe that there is an "Online Store" that haves it available yet, so far i made a bunch of phone calls and No One had said anything about when are they going to be in, thats letstalk, amazon, wirefly, buy.com, etc. Including my local AT&T store and as for my friend's store well she went to Puerto Rico on a Vacation for 2 weeks so I wont be hearing anything from that store in the mean time.

The point is, Nobody will actually see one till you actually see its been released on their main AT&T site, as for stores, their availability will be until next week or so, my husband will have to wait to get his stupid Tilt, since the pansy changed his mind and now wants the Tilt for its 32GB capacity (even tho i don't think there is a micro sd card for it with that size available yet I keep tellin'em)
Anyways I'm still loyal to my BBF and to my soon to be 1st BB Experience!!!

Will wait as long as it takes, all i can say is i cant wait till i have in my hands, my new toy....which reminds me....

Has anyone heard about The Associated Press: Is That Your Phone or Your Imagination? (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iUcvU6AQ9VkAB2tUfle-NRPtWsawD8S6IPOO1)


Also, why on Earth would the US be the last country to get the 8310 when come on!!!! even 3rd world countries in Latin America has already got them??? aren't WE supposedly the most powerful country in the world????

Give me a Break!!!!:x

As for me making a line in stores till next weeks release, I was still thinking of the Possibility if it wasn't for my baby Boy which I'm still nursing so.:razz:

Still afer my Husband comes back from FullSail we'll be heading to the AT&T store thats around the corner because he wants to play with the Tilt, for the first time I'm annoyed to see someone as Obsessed as ME for a phone... just in this case is "gayer" cus Blackberry Phones Rock!!!!

We sell all high-end cell phones. I have to admit, I do think that the Crimson red must be one of the best looking phones I have ever seen. The titanium to me seems more like a puke green - gray combo. The T-Mobile 8320 gold in my opinion is pretty aweful looking too.

I think its so that way ppl gets upset and so that way they get everyone anxious thats my closest guess, besides they still have a bunch of 8300 i bet they want to get rid of those before they get the replacements.

When this thread re-opens, we will only post pertinent information regarding the 8310 release dates. Not hopes and fears of life, only as it relates to the 8310.
