I like this line:

"However, these do list the specs (which we’re all very, very aware of), but we’ll post them up for those of you wishing June 6th never comes"

Now who around here would think that? :)

[CreamyGoodness]

Me. I hate the pre. I hate ugly things. lol. But ya, I was pumped when I saw this. First the inventory, then this. :):):):)

[urbnlgcy]

Long overdue...here's hoping it comes out with a stable OS 5.0!

[Hog]

guesses on what the prices will be: 3/yr $149.95

Long overdue...here's hoping it comes out with a stable OS 5.0!

very true... this means the TELUS one is coming also!
I say give this within 3 weeks and we will see this available :)

[Herb Tarlek]

I think this will go for $199 on 3-year and say $599 buyout

[CreamyGoodness]

Mine has 4.7 on it. Hard to say if the shipping version will have 5.0

[mr-anderson]

[CreamyGoodness]

[Chrissy]

[CreamyGoodness]

There lineup is better than Telus

^ do you have pics of the Bell one? I want to see if they plaster the logo on it to

[Herb Tarlek]

when is this being launched, I heard July but have also heard possible June 22nd??

[CreamyGoodness]

Im not sure where mine is from, there is no logo on it, it is also unlocked, I am running it off my friends rogers network. I am borrowing it from him, he said no pictures too. Sorry guys. I have to give it back tomorrow though. GREAT DEVICE

[underwhere]

if it's on Rogers then would it not be the 8900?
can't you take a pic of what OS its running?

[holiday]

There lineup is better than Telus


Especially with the Pre coming, plus maybe the Storm 2!

[CreamyGoodness]

Here I grabbed a screen shot of the O.S

[CreamyGoodness]

Ya, its snappy. Keep in mind this is not a shipping version. This the same type of device crackberry got.

[greek]

what are your thoughts in it? is it the same as teh Rogers Javelin

[CreamyGoodness]

The O.S? I have never used an 8900. It is very snappy though with some minor adjustments. I.E the storm like option menus. One thing I want to try tonight before I give it back though is skinning it. I want to see what a theme looks like. I will probably just throw B-Berry on it if I can.

[CreamyGoodness]

I never threw a theme on it. I am on my way to take it back now. Any other questions about the device?

[homes]

find out a real release date and price point :)
gotta start saving my lonnies

[CreamyGoodness]

The price will be $599.99 off contract. For release date all I can say is that it is a good chance the second monday in July looks promising. I say no more

[BamBam]

progress is good! :)
