I was just in my VZW store today and the sales guy told me that they are releasing the 9000 and the Curve in June. For whatever that's worth.

^^^^ that is worth a pot to piss in my friend ...9000 will be GSM/HSDPA 3.5G

Gotta agree with that...we all know Verizon aint getting the 9000 before any GSM carrier.....

My on again off again girlfriend whos is a hocho for TMobile says the model BB9000 will be on the street before labor day. They are planning a big back to school promotion. Also, that they are going to outdo Apple with this. I'm just telling you what she says. I don't think its pillow talk.

One more thing, I am sworn to not talk about this but she has a bb 9000 now. Its' a prototype. She won't let me see it at all. She got it about a week ago.

without seeing it kinda hard to verify.

I have seen it from a distance. She just cant let me play with it because......she's a company woman.

even telling you about it can end her job if the right people find out.

Get pictures or we will report it to the right people!!!!hehehehehehe

I think being the largest economy on the planet would explain that. The world does revolve around us. If we collapsed, economically, the rest of the world would soon follow!!

and if the chinese or the european markets collapsed, so would ours. we simply do not have the cash flow or physical space for that matter to harvest the needed resources, manufacture the product, and sell it to ourselves. Perfect example of that, Oil. We simply cannot self sustain on the Oil in the United States. We can for a while, dont get me wrong, but what, 10 years? And you think oil prices are bad now, wait a year or two if that happens, noone will be able to afford to drive anymore. That is the point of a global economy, goods and services from one location to another. to think that the world revolves around the US is pure arrogance.

100% agree SITH it is a Global Economy now!!!

each country relies upon each other!

FYI Californias economy alone is in the top ten of the world!! (if I recall correctly)

Guys, don't forget we would have a shortage on lead paint if China's enconomy collapsed

While China's GDP does not come anywhere close to the United States, it goes without saying that their buying power is very much comparable. They have monthly growth rates that surpass hopeful expectations of some MVNOs in America.

I dont think she is not allowed to tell me about it. Its not like its a government secret, its just a blackberry.

Guys Besides Talking Abt The Release Dates For The 9000 Why Not Make More Friends On The Blackberry Messenger I Bet You There Are So Many Ppl Out There Who Dont Even Know How To Use This Feature,i Am A Male From New York City Hit Me Up My Pin# 241f3b11.

Non-Disclosure Agreement = NDA. if she has one, she is under it.

wow, seriously if 9000 is going to be out before Labor Day, I would certainly wait before buying a Curve now

I know you guys are all really excited about the new techie stuff the phone may be able to do but I have not read anything on document controls...........any ability to open,read,edit M$ docs...????

That's my particular 'want',.....lol.........

PS: btw......T-Mo down here in rural Texas really sucks....and our company uses the Curve on the ATT network and the coverage meets my personal coverage needs.

However before I bail out and pay the $200 dollar ransom for leaving T-Mo...... I'd really like to learn more about what all the 9000 can do....thanks guys......

well i would assume the phone will be capable of editing documents (of course you can do that now with software from Dynoplex and others) since all phones back to the 87xx series devices are supposed to get the software upgrade that allows this (if you believe the rumors)

Labor Day it is.

Have you guys read this "blackberry 9000 in the wild" at Engadget, with a pic. of 9000?
