So now that plenty of people using cingular have there new blackberries when will the t-mobile 8800 release date be confirmed.

I can not wait for this device much longer, just like the rest of you.

Once it is announced, be assured it will be posted here prominently. I have been told late march early april by reliable people I know with T-mo. Boy Genius has posted similar estimates.

that doesn't seem like to bad of a wait at all. Now i just need to keep saving that money

i believe the time between the launch of the pearl on tmo to cingular was roughly 2 months .... so hopefully that'll happen ... i wish sooner ... but i am so going to cingular, buy it out right and then get it unlocked ... i'm over sure type and have been since 2 weeks after the launch of the 7100 ...

I have this susispision though that the one we get for tmobile will be the grey one we seen in the pictures, with the wider spaced keys. So we'll justh have to wait and see.

I hope it's the grey one. The only thing keeping me from jumping ship to Cingular for the 8800 is the butt-ugly dark blue housing. I hated that about T-Mo's 8700g.

I hope the T-Mo 8800 looks better than the AT&T 8800.

What grey one? The only one I had seen before the Cingular one was released was the nice looking black one.

I got mine today and its so dark dark blue that it might as well be black. I am happy with it so far (although I have done nothing with it quite yet as I have not gotten it unlocked). Soon though

I think he means the 8820. Cosmetically a little different and has a camera.

P.S. I also wish it would be the 8820. Crossing fingers!, lol.

I think the silver/grey model is supposed to be a non US carrier. I am hoping the nice black one BG posted live pics of is the tmo version.

I think it's definitely worth the wait for the 8820, since the 8800 is mostly a cosmetic change from the 8700.

It's a lot more than just cosmetic. The 8700c verus 8700g is cosmetic. Please read up on the specs.

Specs didn't change much besides becoming narrower, longer, thinner, slightly smaller screen. Same processor as 8700, same screen resolution as 8700 (which improves clarity on the 8800's slightly smaller screen), new GPS receiver. OS Features were added, however.

I thought the primary new features of the 8800 were GPS, microSD slot, music player, voice dialing, and restyling. I wouldn't consider those revolutionary. In my estimation, adding a camera and WiFi, which the 8820 does, really takes it up a big notch. Everybody's got an opinion...

According to this post:BlackBerryCool » T-Mobile BlackBerry 8800 coming in April, at bbcool. It looks like TMO will have the 8800 not the rumored 8820 in april.

FLIPP - this is based on an email sent out by a T-Mo rep. Nothing confirmed by T-Mobile's homebase just yet, only speculation for now.

Just like this entire thread...

most likely in March

ok....for the 8800 or the 8820 of the 8800 with WIFI?????

Well, yeah, exactly.

Yup I'm the one who confirmed it, I received an email from my T-Mobile business sales rep yesterday, he also thinks they'll come in at $349, perhaps with a $50 MIR.

Personally if it had wifi I'd be more interested in picking it up, gps and the multimedia features aren't enough, and the joystick is a huge turnoff, so I'll just stick with the 8700's I just ordered for our office.

I'm being told that it's the 8800 being released and they are looking at the 1st to 2nd week of April for it to be available. I'm also told that unlike the Cingular model T-Mobile's will have Wi-Fi, but other wise all the other specs are the same. When I asked my rep should I wait or just go for the 8700 rep emphatically said wait; rep said the 8800 is just an awsome device. Rep has the 8700 now and will be switching when the 8800 is out.

I think the grey one that's being referred to is the 8300 series! However there we're some official pics floating around back in November showing two devices dubbed Crimson & Indigo. One was black, the other was kind of silver and did house a camera. Who could keep track anymore, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Baby Bear, with Wifi, without Wifi, Gps, No Gps, With a Camera,
Without a Camera! Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see boys and girls!

Ahh Haa! 8800 on the Tmobile Uk site. And it look to be Black! Can't be long now!

don't just say it there, show me a link!

Tmobile 8800g - UK edition

March has come and gone....and still no 8800.

i have seen the tmobile blackberry 8800 it is the exact same as the cingular 8800 except it has the myfaves interface such a dissapointment no wifi what a waste of time it will be out within 2 weeks.

ive been spending alot of time in tmo lately because of other phones on the plans ans such and the guy i was talking to had said the new blackberry 8800 will be coming out at the end of april so i cant wait
