~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~as long as it says 8800 on it, I'm upgrading

My advice is to wait people. You are gonna be sick if you get the 8800 and then later they come out with one with more features.

That's going to happen anyway. Something newer is always around the bend. You just have to decide when to jump in.

Anyone have any guesses when Skype will wise up and release Skype for BB. I DEF need a quadband GSM 8800 with wifi and Skype. (Drool here). That's what I need and I am willing to shell out for an unlocked one...

[NONCHALANT]

Thanks for the info.. Needed that!
Lucky I seen this thread or I was goin to form a protest against the 8800 lol

Its doubtful that Skype'll ever fully embrace a mobile version of their software 'cuz it'll likely cause a few discrepencies between them and the carriers. I say this due to the fact that if you place a call through Skype, they're getting paid for the call, not the carrier. VOIP is probably one of the major contributing factors as to why most phones don't come stock with wifi.

if the 8800 does not have wifi im not upgrading .all kinds of phones all ready have wifi this was the number 1 reason i was going to buy the 8800 next week or so .to me this is a big let down.the 8800 looks great but wifi is a must have feature on any phone that i will buy.

Ima wait... All I wanted was Bluetooth sterio, wifi and a video recorder for my BB... That's not askin for too much!

I will probably grab the 8800. I love the full keyboards and the ability of having GPS, without losing using my BT headset or O Rockr glasses is key.

Did anyone see the review for the 8800 on pc mag?? It says that the processor is running at 40mhz..... Wow......

[galvatron]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~hey the media player and gps pown with a full keyboard

[NONCHALANT]

Hmmmm.. My hopes are stuck in animation.... Don't know if I could put too much on its launch. Plus I have Tmobile and its version isn't comin out till later and that one I heard is goin to lack the camera it's self. All this time wantin to upgrade I'm just goin to stick wit my pearl and not hope on the 8800 to be what ppls read or what they think is goin to be,

I was truely waitin for this device.. But I do know that it will come, but not anytime soon.

This is what I did. I was going to get the Pearl the day it came out but my (first) 7105T was still working perfectly and I couldn't afford $300 at the time just because it was the newest BB I wanted. (I paid $310 for my first 7105 because it was an emergency situation and I needed a phone, not just because I wanted it LOL)

LOL I was prepared to start a small savings fund for the Pearl. But when my 2nd 7105T crapped out, I decided this was the chance to spring for the Pearl because I was going to get it for only the cost of shipping.
