I see updates for OS 6, but I would prefer OS 7 for my 9800. It may be a newbee question, but do you need to buy a new phone to use OS7?

No sorry. I wish it was.
You will have to buy a new phone... They say that the 9810 with OS7 is sometimes even slower then a 9800 with OS6. OS7 on a torch would slow it down as it is ment for duocore processor phones with more memory

Well, at least I'll have some comparison devices to play with.Quote:

However, keep in mind that the AT&T store's 9810 had only about 50 pictures all saved on the built in storage, and my 9800 currently holds about 400 +/- personal ones on the media card and the annoying irremovable defaults on the built in storage are still there, too.
Other features are almost identical, performance-wise -- typing, browsing, BBM, application-switching, etc. -- I was able to download the OS 7 theme so mine even looks the same. The 9810's specs blow my phone out of the water, however it seems OS 7 is not using the 9810 to its full advantage.
Oh yeah, the 9810 is also mostly bright silver, which bodes well for my wandering eyes and my phone-ADD.
My hand are getting itchy for the 9810 since AT&T is offering it for $50 with a 2 yr. I really want to wait till the 9860 gets there to compare, however I'm thinking that AT&T will not give such a good invite price.Quote:

The great thing about this is, if he's right about the timing, the 9900 and 9850, being non-iPhones, are designated as mere Holiday "phones" and will have special Holiday phone pricing!!! Perhaps not $50, but who knows?
I figure, by the time I finish typing out all of my theories about AT&T and its schemes, the devices will have launched already and I will be happy.
P.S. Joe, thank you in advance. Excited for the 9850 Verizon review & potential video! If you can, since you've done it before with other devices, perhaps you can run a side-by-side with a 9930, or my beloved "meager" OS 6 9800 ;)
nice share..
sure i love my 9800..
even that i cant have a pure os 7..
