Unless
Apple has constructed a separate iPhone 5 model for Sprint’s 4G,
the odds are that Sprint won’t have the iPhone until the iPhone 6.
That’s not the news which Sprint users want to hear, but it’s the
sobering reality of carrier and network politics. And that’s
nothing compared to what T-Mobile
users are facing.
But
now there’s been doubt cast over the merger prospects thanks to the
recent stock market downturn. And while T-Mobile is in limbo, the
odds of it going out and striking its own iPhone 5 deal with Apple
feel remote. And that’s on top of T-Mobile’s own 4G
incompatibility issues. With the “will they or won’t they”
nature of the merger perhaps taking some time to finally settle, it
feels like T-Mobile is also more likely to end up with the iPhone 6.
The
first batch of insider semi-confirmation comes from the traditionally
reliable 9to5 Mac, which has trusted sources saying that the launch
date for the iPhone
5 will be October 7.
That same date has been tossed around in rumors for a few weeks now,
which is in itself a point for its reliability, and it also makes
sense concerning recent reports of Apple's orders to suppliers.
Perhaps
the more interesting aspect of this rumor is the pre-order status.
Last year, the iPhone 4 was officially announced on June 7, and
pre-orders started a week later, with the ultimate on-sale date being
June 15. This makes a Sept 7/ Oct 7/ Oct 14 schedule rather more
likely, although another level of uncertainty exists concerning
exactly how many different models of iPhone there will be (i.e., an
iPhone 4S update and/ or a completely new iPhone 5, a low-end model
and a high-end model, etc.).
For
the new cost and technology many iPhone
application development
company are available in the market which are producing low cost
price with high flexibility of iPhone models. Recently we can analyze
the cost comparison as BlackBerry
Bold 9900 T-Mobile more
expensive than the iPhone 5?
Angry
bloggers and customers comment on the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 of
T-Mobile sporting a tag price that is more expensive than some
high-end Android Smartphone’s, as well as the most popular
Smartphone in USA, the iPhone 4.
T-Mobile
USA announces the new BlackBerry Bold 9900, the GSM version of
Verizon and Sprint’s Bold 9930. The Bold 9900 is a touch screen
phone with BlackBerry physical QWERTY portrait keyboard. Under the
cover, the device is powered by 1.2 GHz single-core processor,
640×480 screen touch screen resolution and the new BlackBerry OS 7
out of the box. The device will debut in stores on August 31st.
Surprisingly,
the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 will play the “premium” Smartphone
strategy, sporting a tag price of $299.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate,
so that is $50 more expensive than the CDMA Bold 9930 of both Verizon
and Sprint, and if taken without the mail-in rebate, the Bold 9900 is
more expensive than the most popular Smartphone in the world based on
market share and units shipped, the iPhone 4.
