can you please give me some feedback on the speed of the internet via 8700c and TMO service. I think I am going this route very soon...

TIA

Unless the 8700c is unlocked, you'll get no speed on the internet via TMO service (don't think locked Cingular devices work on TMO).

i should have said people in NYC with unlock 8700c on TMO.

my speed is awesome, i live in linden, right outside of staten island, gothels bridge, running on edge that is! way fast!! fully unlocked on tmo!!

enjoy it!!!

Works great though EDGE coverage definitely varies by market on T-Mo since it's not fully implemented as I understand.

Where is the best place to get an unlocked 8700c in terms of low costs.
EBay has some outrageous auctions now.

find a cingular 8700c locked, then have adam from gsmphonesource unlock it for you...


see below....

gsmphonesource unlocking ebay auction- buy it now

then enjoy!!!

thanks

i saw some unlocked ones on there going for $850 and 600!!!! CRAZY!!!!

eAccess has them for $549; gsmphonesource $45 for unlocking...

Excuse my noob'ness, but I have a very basic question about an unlocked 8700c on T-Mo. Do you have a full HTML browser for use on T-Mo's network? What do you have to do to get a full HTML browser on this device?

100 percent on tmo html browser, I am on there right now

How did the T-Mo HTML browser end up on your unlocked 8700c? Was this done over the air? Again, I'm brand new to BB. Thanks!

I live in manhatten and I have gotten great speeds full EDGE network connection everywhere so far from the village all they upto 168th street. Have not traveled outside of Manhatten with my new 8700c/t yet, but will be going to socal next week I expect to have good results.

The combination of increased data rates with EDGE and the faster intel processor in the 8700c makes web browsing a TOTALLY different experience. Browsing the web is acutally possible and is no longer painfull!

Yeah i have the 8700c in manhattan and i have edge on the whole island from washington heights down to B&H where i work. i just bought the phone full price from cingular for 450 without a contract and then had adam unlock it. Not to complicated of an issue. EDGE is a whole new world on tmobile!!!
