I sure hope so because they haven't had any high end new ones for a while.

Patiently waiting to see what is coming, I can get a new phone now, but I haven't seen anything that thrills me. Hopefully we will see a true touchscreen BlackBerry from VZW soon.

How is it? Do you have anything that takes advantage of it?

just recently i have switched from tmobile to verizon . Tmobile service sucks big time - dropped calls all over Chicago . You want more love --- switch to verizon .

T-Mo, and my beloved Spriint, seem to be getting very little BlackBerry love. Sprint got the BB Style flip phone, but that's a niche device. I'm still hopinig for a CDMA Torch.

Just came across this thread. 4G will allow simultaneous voice and data. Something CDMA hasn't been able to offer as of yet. Also, faster browsing, downloading of attachments and apps, better streaming of video and music. There are a lot of benefits of 4G.

I think the new storm3 that leaked will also come in a cdma version. I think that makes the most sense out of all the devices that were leaked recently.

we can only hope... I agree, Sprint needs some new love! My 9650 w/OS6 is very decent, just really want a 'berry touchscreen!

Saw the 4G Mi-Fi device at Verizon's booth at CES. There's going to be a second device by another company both with prices around $229 for the unit. I think they said Q2 for them but it was pretty busy with everyone firing questions at the same time that day. The coverage map isn't all that great yet but I think they said by 2013 it should fully cover where 3G is now but I really don't personally know their deployment schedule for the faster service.
