As the other guy in that thread said, it's an FCC issue. They also didn't plan on major issues with the 8800, but alas, it's no longer available (at least not in the upgrade program, you need to have a new 2 year contract to get it). As we all know, things change. The information I gave was right at the time. Love to prove it, but obviously can't.
I'm right about the Curve's release date of the 24th, as the original poster, BG and several sites have also confirmed. So "LOL" all you want. I asked a question, valid I thought. Seriously, let's stop jumping all over people, eh? I wasn't rude or nasty once, yet look at the flack I'VE gotten. For asking a question and correcting misinformation. Seriously makes me consider never posting another sentence again. I can get yelled at anywhere, I don't need to log onto the computer to do it :/

T-Mobile has the best service (reception and customer) of all the carriers we've used (and we have used every one available in our area and were disappointed with their service and reception) and we have been very happy with T-Mo (especially since we travel a lot around the US and have had very good reception everywhere).
We have been very happy with our Pearls too except for the SureType vs Qwerty keyboard along with the minor issues that are resolved with the CURVE so I will be getting my new CURVE on the 24th no matter what color it is although I would really really PREFER it in titanium or black
.
I wanted to say THANKS to
goatspike for the info and photos. And I wanted to say THANKS to
bpritch as well for sharing the info she received from her husband who works at T-Mo. And THANKS to the mods for keeping order and providing direction and to everyone else who has shared info on this board.
Earlier this year, I was told by my friendly T-Mo store that the Curve "might" come out around July but they weren't sure because it wasn't official. Well, I didn't post anything here because it was an unofficial guesstimate, but they did know that it was coming out sometime in the summer. Then, they told me that T-Mo was trying to release it in August (just as
bpritch said) but were finalizing the H@H feature so it wasn't 100%.
Well, now they have been "officially" authorized to release info that the Curve is going to be available on the 24th. My point is (and
bpritch's) that this forum is a place for us to learn how to use our blackberries to their fullest potential and do our part to post comments and questions and especially to share info that we truly believe to be correct and useful to others. Also, we all know that info shared on this board is *subject to change* and should be used *at one's own risk and discretion* and people shouldn't be flamed for sharing and honestly trying to help out.
That being said, I for one have received information that I could not have gotten anywhere else (T-Mo CSR's included) such as step-by-step blackberry as modem how-to's (a lifesaver, BTW), access to OTA themes and software, how to take my Pearl out of case that seemed to be sealed shut, color trackball, where to get a Krusell case, etc., and I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have such a great resource and invaluable tool as the blackberry forums.
THANKS EVERYONE.
