So my Sprint rep told me today, that there is a NEW "GAME CHANGING" Blackberry coming exclusive to Sprint. What could it be??!! She said it is NOT the Storm 3..haha.

Sadly, she is probably talking about the BlackBerry 9650.  A new Tour with wifi.  I hope I am wrong because it is not "game changing" at all.

No, she said it isn't that. She said it is a new one, that is the Tour 2. She said it is something else.

I currently do rep work for an unspecified carrier..unless I already said somewhere else in this forum, then its up to you to find out which one..haha...ANYWAYS, what I do know from some of my own colleagues or competing reps is this: Reps blow smoke...The higher up they are on the chain, the more smoke they blow.

My own bosses, other bosses..they all have the next big thing, and the other carriers always have the next worst...

Generally, I believe if it's not on the internet/already leaked and a lowly regional, or district rep knows about it, it is likely a spread rumor...Big corporations like cell phone carriers do not let their men and women know what's up out of fear of their plans spreading to competitors..unless you work with the CEO on the daily basis, what's being fed to you isn't the real deal.

There is a new Blackberry. It is running 6.0. It is going to be cool, I live right by the Sprint campus and have has several meetings at the campus. I can tell you that a new one is coming, and it is going to be cool!

The articles I have read say that it is going to be GSM which means it wouldn't be for Sprint. 

Have you heard otherwise?

[Kyle-15813]

I have heard AT&T and Sprint...

AT&T and Sprint? There would have to be two different phones, or one phone that is both GSM and CDMA capable. Could go either way.

Personally, I think it would be cheaper to make one phone that is both GSM and CDMA, rather than make two different phones.

I'm sure Blackberry will do something that will change how we look at the phones. Considering this will have 6.0 on it...
