T-Mo Reps: Curve, WiFi, 3G, @home
This info confirmed with 2 T-Mo store reps:
Curve: Coming late August. Branch manager was said to have it already and their warehouse is already stocked. But I didn't see it. Curve WiFi: Yes. Unlocked for data access. @Home: Enables VoIP service like Skype. 3G: Yes, they've got the radio spectrum. Goes live in the 4th quarter 2007, or more likely, 1st quarter 2008. (Not necessarily for the Curve) |
CSRs have awesome info. And it's always right.

T-Mobile reps are particularly better than other company reps. i have had ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile and I must say T-Mobile's are the best |
Good questions. I edited the original post to make it more clear.
Jibi: One was a store floor manager, the other a store lackey. The @Home was additionally confirmed by a 3rd rep from tier 1 customer support on a call. Shona: No, I'm not saying the T-Mo Curve will be 3G capable. I guess it will not be 3G since the network isn't there. It's unclear to me whether a phone with GSM / Edge can become 3G capable via a firmware update. Technically it's possible if the transceiver is a Software Defined Radio instead of custom, dedicated design. |
3G + WiFi + Video Capture = BLOODY Great!

I would be more than very happy to see a T-Mobile Curve equip with a 3G plus a video capture! |

If that information is wrong, T-Mobile is not only telling their reps the wrong information, but distributing it company-wide in error. My husband works for T-Mobile and they had a BB rep there last week. They are expecting to release the Curve in late August. It will have @home, wifi, 3G enabled. 3G is planned for fall.

Hey, Jibi, the inclusion of 3G is news to me. Did your source mention it?

let the celebration begin

Also, nevermind the fact that manufacturers will need to come up with devices that support Europe and Asian UMTS networks, T-Mobile's multi-band UMTS network and Cingular's UMTS network - anyone aware of such a device existing already? Like I said, I will admit when I'm wrong. Given some of the people I've spoken to about it, unless I'm being blatantly lied to, I think of them as fairly knowledgeable on the subject. |
Oh, I see. That segment of the airwaves were occupied by the feds.
RE: 3G, I meant for the handset. bpritch said the T-Mo Curve will have 3G. I thought it would be EDGE. I saw 2 8707 devices on RIM's site that have UMTS support... but neither are US market. I hadn't heard that the T-Mo Curve would have 3G, meaning UMTS. Network Type per Model #: BlackBerry Search Results N/W UMTS Status Indicators: BlackBerry Search Results |
