Got this with a new Blackberry 7130c today...

Sorry if someone posted this already, I knew this was being talked about, but I did not realize it was so close or already implemented...

I got that SIM card with my 8700c as well. I was having OS issues with the BB that shipped to me, and when I took it to the store the tech put the older SIM into a new phone. Not sure why, but meh.

3G, UMTS and WCDMA Technology page from UMTS World

Just because the marketroids at Verizon and Sprint say that EVDO is "3G", doesn't make it so.

While I agree with you...Be careful, you might get banned for simply disagreeing with a mod...

And yes, Verizon is being untruthful...

YOU WILL NOT GET BANNED FOR STATING YOUR OPINION. And i do not appreciate your statement. It all depends on how you handle the conversation. Being rude while disaggreeing with a MOD or any other member COULD result in a ban. Please do not spread false info such as this

Thanks for understanding. We try to maintain a positive atmosphere here at BBF. However, we (MODS) are human as well and sometimes we have bad days. A little understanding on those days can go a loooong way. Have fun with your posts

back to the question from the original post:

Cingular is currently running 3G in multiple markets and expanding everyday, you can search this forum or the web and find a list to see if you are in one of these areas.

Cingular has been using 3G branded sim cards for some time now... at least 6-8 months. just because your sim says 3g doesnt mean your phone supports 3g or that you are currently in an area that supports 3G.

Hope that answers your question.

From what I have read, and from what BG has reported, HSPDA and UMTS are not part of the 8800..it will be GSM/GPRS/EDGE...no 3g...what gave you that idea?
