This is such a HOT phone !
I would love this to be my first Blackberry.

Just for the record, I called to try and snag one and the folks on the phone are adamant that they don’t have them, despite the listing on the Rogers site!
I’m totally being teased! Although the first agent I spoke to said to try back on Friday, so I’m going to just sit it out until then.

I had one in my cart this morning, thought I would give the business to my corporate rep and I didn’t even receive an email or phone call back.
Now Rogers.com site is down go figure. Has been having problems for the last couple hours.

Simon, you’re an idiot for believing what a CSR says over what you can read on our website.

Does anyone know if this really does have UMA. THey don’t mention it anywhere on the rogers site. Is that an oversight? or hoping people will assume based on sites like Mobile Syrup reporting it is supported and then your disappointed?

Caution everyone…lots of misinformation on the Bold 9700…I spoke with customer care and they said it was UMA ready..I wondered why does it not show in the release or on the web…I ask to specifically talk to someone in blackberry technical support and she said UMA is NOT supported. That is extremely misleading and hope no one gets burned by this ….come on guys UMA ready DOES NOT mean UMA active
such a disappointment!!
