It was an upgrade sort of – I paid full price for the unit – our company has the policy to pay full price not to be in contracts.

I just got a call from a tmobile rep and I was told consumers can upgrade starting the 11/16 so that’s not bad just a few more days, only business customers can do that at the moment

Was this an upgrade or a new line of service? I can’t believe they lied to me and told me I couldn’t upgrade?

Used business account. They said the consumer side wasn’t available. They didn’t know when it would be available for the retail consumer side, but hoped soon.

Can’t the current subscribers of T-Mobile upgrade for new 2 years contract and avail the benefit of the new 9700? Comm’on I know I did that with my 8900 Javelin Curve.

I was going to try again later this afternoon anyway; hopefully the T-Mo reps will get their information straight!

Tried to order, but they said their system was updating and to try to call back in a few hours. They said they knew it was dropping for business customers, but all others had to wait.

I have a corporate discount, and I’ve been bounced 3 times between Customer Care and business sales now trying to order this phone. Anyone else have better luck? How did you order it?

My T-Mobile rep is telling me that they’re only available for new lines of service, not upgrades.

Thanks, I am still debating whether to wait or order now, I remember with the 8900 they dropped the price to 150 a couple of weeks after release .

Well that’s a step in the right direction. I really want to get mine!

Thanks! I’m about to give them a call myself; I was able to get the 8900 early as well, so this is good news!
