darnell89 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Do you think Sprint will ever get a 4G Blackberry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If RIM survives it's possible. Let's hope they do so we can find out. Device competition is healthy. Sent from Joshs Evo Shift using Forum Runner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I don't know why but I LOL'd when I read your question. RIMM is in a lot of trouble right now and I don't think sprint or any other carrier will benefit much from a 4g blackberry device of any kind at the moment.

They have really good devices for business, and ppl who love quick push notifications. AT&T & T-Mobile have 4G blackberries, and they are pretty decent. Just curious about it, since Sprint never came out with a Wimax version of it, nor a Windows Phone either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the att and tmobile versions are hspa+ and personally I don't consider that to be 4g even though you can get some pretty decent speeds out of it but not lte speeds. In either case though a lot of the advantages blackberry use to have for the business oriented customers are all but gone and its showing based on their performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newboyx Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If they were smart they would wait until Blackberry 10 comes out to release a LTE Blackberry phone. Sent in 3D via Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be their only chance at remaining viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twospirits Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 True, but I wouldn't mind seeing a blackberry LTE on the Sprint network. Alot of folks use it for business and I believe a carrier should have at least two phones from every OS. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that, people would stop liking their carrier. Sent from Joshs Evo Shift using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmSixNine Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I carry 2 phones. Work and Personal. Currently iPhone and Android. But i recently came across a Blackberry Style 9670 and i really like the form factor. I my self am tempted to ditch the iPhone for the Blackberry. No matter what i do i have to have an Android device. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Remember how long it took for RIM to produce a 3G BlackBerry? And that was back when the company was healthy! Maybe BB10 will shake things up and we'll see an LTE BlackBerry. Considering how slow the BlackBerry browsers are compared to everything else an LTE BlackBerry would be a breath of fresh air!
