Anyone have information for Sprint's 8830?
I am eligible for an upgrade, and I am torn between a Q and the 8830. I have carried 3 different Nextel Blackberries in the past, and love them, but Windows Mobile does look somewhat appealing...I probably won't make up my mind until I play with both, but does anyone happen to know when the Sprint 8830 will be released, or have any idea on the pricing (unactivated/upgrade/new)? I emailed Sprint a few months ago about getting a Blackberry, and was told that the $15 Vision data plan worked for Blackberries, but I read on this forum that they have a $40 Blackberry plan. Was the CSR that responded to me confused, or are there really 2 options for the Blackberry?

Hey, I have the Q and it is not that good, Windows OS freezes all the times, and they lied about the GPS it works only for 911.
And for release date I heared that it's around the mid of July,
Also I heared that Sprint will come up with a data plane that for $25 you get unlimited every ting including txt msgs and the $15 that they told you about I think it is for the unlimited web access.
For me my upgrade is in Dec can't wait till then, so I can get the BB 8830.

sprint tech supp rep: as of today the bb data plan is 39.99 for unlimited access. you cannot use the 15,20.25 vision packages to use the web on ur bb, it will not work. also it does renew ur 2yr contract to use the bb data plan. 😉 and as far as new plans i have not heard anything yet.

Doesn't the Q operate considerably slower than the blackberry as well? That's what I've noticed.
But, I haven't used the Q as often. Could be wrong. Maybe too much going on with the OS for the chip to handle it?
