Tmobile needa a hot phone that will stand out like the rest of the other carriers,like verizon has the storm,apple has the iphone. I know tmobile has the G1 but I haven't seen them with a solid phone since the sidekick. They need a hot comeback phone!

I think what he is saying is that there has not been a solid franchise phone like the sidekick lately. When the sidekick 3 came out there were literally thousands of calls in queue to customer service to order it. (that is very, very rare) The 8900, or at least T-mobile's push for it does not/did not generate the same results and/or feelings that the Sidekick did. The G1 was/is supposed to be the phone for T-mobile, and on initial launch of the device it was well received. Just my observations on the subject.
 
Ok, i know, t-mobile reps don't know anything about BlackBerry releases any more than we do... But, I feel i need to give some hope to those out there that are craving the Storm for t-mobile.

I was at a corporate t-mobile store at a major mall and it was mentioned to him by a t-mobile corporate sales guy that the 2nd generation Storm will be out with t-mobile during the "holiday timeframe" November / December...

Yeah, I know rumors... but, it' HOPE!!!
 
You are right.....just a question:
TMobile UK, got the bold, might be that a signal on an upcoming bold to tmobile USA?

About the storm I can say that even on Tmobile EDGE goes at the same speed or faster, than others on att 3g.
I haven't had time to make a speed comparison with the Bold, but with other models, sure I will when I have the chance

Tmo USA is unique in the fact they are the only Tmobile service that doesn't run the global standards and so to date, most phones released do not cover the 1700 spectrum and so those models aren't released on Tmo USA. The foreign Tmo's spectrum is covered so they are more likely to receive a Bold/Storm/etc 3G model (if a GSM model is released) since no special version would need to be released.

As technology improves, eventually more spectrums will be covered on a single chip (battery life/cost/size will become far less a problem) and we will get more releases. In the mean time though, phone makers are having to release special Tmo 3G addition phones (a few basic flips have come out) and we just aren't large enough a carrier for some of these companies to release the more expensive to make handsets for such a limited customer base. It just boils down to dollars and cents.

I would be interested to see speed comparisons between same model & OS handsets using browser and using as tether on EDGE vs EDGE. and EDGE vs 3G.
