T-Mobile's BlackBerry 8820 pushed back?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Feb 24th 2008 at 7:53AM

Previously rumored for a March 5th release, we've been tipped that T-Mobile's WiFi-equipped, Hotspot @Home-capable BlackBerry 8820 appears to have been pushed back (at least, that's what we'd take "TBD" to mean where March 5 used to appear). Sadly, delays are more the rule than the exception in this industry, so we're anything but taken aback if it turns out to be true. We'll keep you in the loop as we hear more.

[Thanks, Dave]

I wonder if T-Mobile is waiting for the OS 4.5 release so they can put it on the phone out of the gate. If so that would be great for T-Mo users but as an ATT user I want my 4.25 OS NOW.

So this phone is going to have both Wi-Fi as well as GPS?! I thought RIM wasn't putting to 2 together in any phone (each carrier was going to have separate models for each - e.g.: 8310 vs. 8320)

That may be the case for the Curves, but not the 88xx series. The 8820 on AT&T is a WiFi + GPS unit.
