Yes, currently the information I have is that it will NOT be offered by Tmobile. Now, as I said before, companies say things like that all the time just to keep the product leaks to a minimum. I will say that I trust this friend of mine very much and have no reason to doubt him. Of course, since things always start at the top and work their way down, it may be that the decision to offer the 650 hasn't trickled down to company wide knowledge. Is this making sense?
In regards to the other question about where I got mine. I went to a well known auction site (Ebay) to get it. Anyone who tells you that the 650 will run you $400 may be understating. I bid on 8 different auctions before I had the high bid to purchase. Not one of those auctions I bid on were under the $525 mark and then add shipping. The one I did get was a final price of $493 + $7 for insurance and another $45 for next day shipping. Total= $545 (Next day ship was all that the seller offered). Dont get me wrong. The money I pad was well worth having a phone that essentially replaces my laptop while I am on the road. I get email, browse webpages and so much more than I could do on my laptop that has no wireless internet service. Text messages are super easy as well. As with anything the phone takes a little getting used to. I handle it with supreme care right now because I have no case for it and am deathly afraid of scratching the screen. Adding the SD card for extra storage is as simple as inserting it into the slot at the top of the phone.
I previously had a Blackberry which I thought was all I would ever need but MAN WAS I WRONG! The 650 leaves the BB in the dust. Tmobile was very happy to note my account and record the serial number as well even though they dont offer the 650. I even got a break on the unlimited data package. The BB Unlimited was $29 and the standard unlimited data package was only $19. So I got a new phone and a small break on my bill every month
One last thing. If bidding on Ebay for one of these put several in your Watched Items list and be patient. Patience got me mine for under $500 which even with shipping was less than alot of other folks paid. I am sure that someone out there paid less than I did so good deals can be had.
I hope this answers any questions you might have had. If not then post another and I will reply as quickly as I can. Now I am looking for a great source for cool apps and games!
