Called nextel at midnight. She said I could order it but they don't have any idea on a ship date yet. Also said after discounts it was $199.99 which is different than the $149.99 listed before. This was the first time they would even take my order but I held off for now. Waiting on more details.

Disregard previous post. Went online and it allowed me to upgrade form there for the $149.99.

Wow! Sprint made it sound like it wouldn't be on their site until January! It is kinda nice to see it there.. It's kinda funny that the 7100i is $50 more!

It looks like a 1 GB memory card is included for the camera!

I was at the store at 830 this morning to order mine. I cant wait, hope it comes in tomorrow.

[kick my blackberry]

Was able to order the 8350i online and they told me i will receive my phone in about 2-4 business days. YEAH YEAH YEAH. The price of the phone is 249.99 with the instant savings and it will be 149.99 after 100.00 mail in rebate.

my sales rep emailed me this morning of 8350i availability... I emailed back with order for 10 upgrades . . . 15 minutes later, Rep emails back with order confirmation . . . awaiting next day delivery tracking number . . .


if anyone here needs a rep connection, PM me . . .

Did anyone preorder with Vazcom? if so did you get any kind of comfirmation of your 8350I being shipped today?

[Bamellis]

I ordered from Vazcom and haven't got an email confirming shipment yet. I am pretty confident that they shipped because of the email I got yesterday though. I almost wonder if they shipped early because my neighbors told me that the UPS man came to my door while I was at work. He didn't leave a package though. I wonder if we have to sign for the phone? I've been racking my brain trying to remember if I ordered anything else and there was only one other thing that was a gift for my husband but they said it would ship USPS so unless they switched to UPS for some reason which is possible it's the only thing it could be......

It's gonna be so nice to get rid of the 7100i!

[the great gazoo]

OOOOOO sounds like it may be it. i hope it is. please let us know if it is. i cant wait to get rid of this 7100i. i hope they shipped out mine.

[crisambo]

order update . . .
Just ordered 5 more 8350i's from rep on top of 10 earlier ordered. . . rep advises that the 5 has been ordered but Fulfillment center returned with back-order notification . . .

[Bamellis]

Bummer! Hope they get them quick!

[the great gazoo]

HEY HEY HEY leave some for the rest of us. i only want one. don't be greedy

Either way I will have to wait until tomorrow because I doubt the UPS man will come back. She said he was here around 11:00 AM so I'll be waiting for him tomorrow. He does seem to come through my neighborhood around the same time every day. Here is the message I got yesterday. I wish I'd get a tracking number!

All Blackberry pre orders were submitted Thursday (12/11) when they became available in our order entry system. For those who would like their confirmation emailed to them please let me know. I attached the rebate once again for those who just ordered the phone this past weekend. The phones will be shipped out overnight Monday. Tracking numbers are assigned once UPS has them out for delivery. Please contact myself or my office so that we can perform the swap over to your Blackberry Curve. We can change the plans for those who need to add data packages at the time of the swap. You may contact the following people including myself to perform the swap. We will continue to take orders for those who are still interested in getting the new Blackberry Curve 8350i. Have a great week!

I am finding the trackball on the 8350 to be the same as I remembered it at the prelaunch slightly depressed. I will take some getting used to.

proof I have it.
YouTube - nextel 8350i unboxing.avi

getting it up and running tonight. questions fire away.

[Bamellis]

Lucky You! How did you get it so quick? It looks pretty cool! I am ready to get mine. Let us know how long you have to charge it and how easy it is to transfer contacts. Can you use you SIM card?? OK, I'll stop now..

[biohazard]

I actually got mine today from UPS, to be honest i don't know how my local Nextel store can't get it yet. I must have ordered it, it came in my company name. I got it up and running it's taking me a while to get used to the track ball in the middle, i keep thumbing the sides of it. It took me a while to get it connected but the gut from nextel was pretty good ! i'll report back with how the battery life does tomorrow!

I know I am gonna do that too!

Go find an Indirect Sprint/Nextel dealer. We were able to order units for our customers on Thursday and they all arrived today check BlackBerry Cool for pics. There where well over 7,000 units in the stock for order as of 7 pm EST. I sure they selling like hotcakes but you should be able to get your hands on one. For store launch you have to wait till Jan. 11th

[Josh2222]

Got mine on order, should have it soon.
