T-Mobile 8120 and 8820 release news!!
A little birdie told me:
Just wanted to bring to your attention that T-mobile will be launching the 8120 on April 14. Looks like it'll be launched in titanium. Other colors may follow. 2mp camera w/flash. Video record capabilities. Voice dialing. HotSpot @ home/talk forever. Wi-Fi browsing. Multimedia browser. Memory card slot and my faves.
The 8820 is still set to launch march 24.

That's kinda weird...everything I put on craigslist I sold within 5 days, even damaged cars! Lol, so I think you just need to put the price you would like to sale for and let people talk down the price but not so low that it's not worth it.

I friend of mine told me they were able to upgrade their device without a contract extension. They were told originally that they couldn't but fought it and got what they want. Is this possible Jonny, or was my friend put together?

Apparently its running the new os because it has the video record. Plus I think that's the whole reason why they waited until april to launch it instead of november of 07.

most def....but i'm curious if they will do a dual release of the OS 4.3/4.5 for the 8100, 8320, and 8800 when they have the 8120 and 8820 for sale. Kind of like well these have these new OS's so every other BB we have can have the same OS now. **i know i'm dreaming**

They rarely do anything like that. Unless they resally really really screwed up. But normally you can't get a discount on a phone without a contact extension. You can purchase a phone at full cost without extending your contract.

oh awesome! i see they record video and whatnot. Now if RIM would actually release the NEW OS so everyone else could record video, go to youtube etc, that would be great!

Is TMo going to release this for business only like AT&T, or will it be open to the public right away?

T-mobile said that it will be released in all departments so normal retail locations should be receiving the phone as well.

It will probably roll out after the pearl2 comes out. Or the 8120 I should say. So people would have a reason besides wifi/talkforever to upgrade to the 8120. The youtube support I think will still be a while. However I heard that microsoft will be launching a program that will allow browsers to view flash sites etc. So I'm sure blackberry has something up their sleeve.

Any chance TMO will allow upgrade without a contract extension? A friend of mine said TMO allowed it but I don't know if they lied to him, if he's lying to me, or if it's true?
