It doesn’t matter where they open. What matters is how much they sell worldwide.

I heard the new Thunder device will enable the userto trade stocks and see quotes in real time without 20 min. delay. Is this true?

This is straight off the RIM website. So if Q3 is its release, and it’s going by the RIM fiscal year, it could be almost December before it comes out.

Do you know if there’s a much improved browser on this phone? The browser on all the blackberries suck. Not sure what better speed does for you if you don’t want to browse.

Yes…in the logical world you are correct, however, BlackBerry does not separate their quarters the same way we do here in the states. They begin Q1 in December. There is your lesson for the day, sweetheart. =)

Marketing-VZW customers, don’t forget the LG “Dare” will be coming out soon as well. From what I understand that is supposed to be around the same time the new iPhone drops for AT&T. Being its another full touch screen phone, will it delay the release of the “Thunder”? Or will they release at the same time….which VZW is notorious for rolling out several phones at the same time? Also, wouldn’t it make more sense for RIM to release it around the same time as the new 3G iPhone? Perhaps stealing Apples “thunder”? Soon to be taken over by “Storm” (storm=code name for Thunder w/ sliding keyboard)? Maybe RIM is going to make this a much more aggressive approach than we think finally putting an end to….who makes a better phone?

Okay, maybe to good to be true but it does make sense….I’m just sayin.

Wish they would hurry, this will be my first Blakberry. Have a Treo 700P for almost 2 years and that contract runs out soon.

Verizon Guy… and what did you mean by “Y’all are missing one key feature that’ll be another first for Verizon…”?

@ Verizon Guy…….are you saying there is a third Blackberry phone coming to Verizon?

@Christopher Cox

James is right, just because the two people you talked to have been hypocritical, it doesn’t constitute enough people to make such a generalized comment. I dislike the iphone because of its lack of keyboard, and I dislike the thunder because of its lack of keyboard as well. Your 3 friends don’t count as general consensus.

Christopher Cox — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:01:21 +0000

@james
Oh no … I’m sure its the same people. Ive talked to a few VZW people in person that bashed the iPhone because it had no keyboard, but can’t wait to get the Thunder becaue now, its okay it does not have a keyboard … because it is on Verizon. Its quite pathetic.

this one looks like photoshop – the top of phone looks exactly like EV-DO Blackberry 9000 (Javelin and Niagara) – http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-to-come-in-ev-do-and-edge-versions-codenamed-jav/
