    December 1st has come and gone and yet again there is no 8350i in site…I’m tired of hearing dates for this blackberry for so long that’s I think at the end of the contract I have to part ways with sprint and take my lines and business elsewhere…now the new date is December 15th ’08 and I’m sure it’s just a bunch of Bul1$&@*… I challenge them to prove me wrong!!!

    A week ago, I went to Sprint and got the Blackberry 8330. Sprint’s 3G network is blazingly fast. Then I saw a colleague with a Blackberry 8350i, so I went back to Sprint and exchanged the 8330 for the 8350i—since my job requires me to also have a walkie-talkie.
    The Sprint salesperson did point out that the 8350i runs on the Nextel radio network, but failed to make it clear that Nextel’s network is slow and nowhere near Sprint’s 3G network. The store only had two 8350i’s and was lucky enough to get one since both were supposed to be display models.
    Now I’m stuck with the 8350i (since Sprint would only allow one return/exchange with 30 days of purchase) which takes 2, 3 or 4 times longer than the 8330 to open a website. Watching Youtube.com is a joke as Nextel’s network is rather slow.
    If you love to surf the ‘net, don’t get the 8350i and stick with Sprint’s 8330 or other 8000 models running on the 3G network. But if you use the walkie-talkie more than you surf the ‘net, then get the 8350i.
    I know I cannot have everything in one phone such as the 8350i. But considering that I have two now carry only one phone instead of three—more than outweighs the shortcomings of the 8350i running on Nextel’s network.
    Overall, I’m still happy with the 8350i. I only wished that Nextel runs on the 3G network.
