Sprint will be first to get the 8300. My sources have confirmed.

I wonder what the above poster will say after it comes out for Cingular and Tmo...

NJBlackBerry · 04-20-2007, 03:40 PM

It's frequent that CDMA based devices come out before the GSM versions, right?

Outrigger · 04-20-2007, 03:46 PM

yes, CDMA comes out roughly half a year to a year before their GSM counter parts......

I bet he meant the 8830. I had several people confused about it.

cccablecompany · 04-20-2007, 04:55 PM

No, I mean the 8300 with the camera and wifi. Not the 8830!!

Well, that makes a lot of sense. After all, the CDMA variants of the 71xx, 81xx and 88xx series were ALL released before the GSM verisons, right? Only in Opposite World!

The wait will soon be over cdma users. Gsm users will be the ones to cross over!

mdonders · 04-20-2007, 07:55 PM

If you are so sure about this and your model says 8300 under your user name, let us see some pictures or proof?

Corrected!

If you don't want to be made fun of, you need to provide some proof rather than another "my source" told me.

Haven't all the pre-release photos of the 8320 been for GSM service providers? The last photos were branded Vodofone and the earlier photos were using Cingular. CDMA does not have a good history for being the first to release new BBs.

Yeah, he updated it to say that Sprint will be the first CDMA provider to get an 83xx, not that they would be first company overall (GSM will clearly be first). Its about time.

mymitsu3kgt · 04-20-2007, 09:13 PM

Oh, well that makes more sense.

cccablecompany · 04-20-2007, 11:31 PM

I put 8300 as my model phone because thats the phone I want and not own. I don't have to prove anything to anyone about who said what. You just go ahead and believe t-mo is getting the 8300 first and you will be outta luck. I am not leaking any of my source. I just have vaild information.
