We know what you’re thinking… but this is for reals! We’ve just confirmed this now with two high-level sources: the Bold is actually delayed until August on AT&T. It seems like AT&T and RIM are still having software issues with battery life and overheating. It has not been certified by AT&T yet. This new information goes against our previous intel and thoughts, but it really looks like everyone on AT&T either needs to wait it out, get a Bold from Canada, or think impure thoughts. What you thinkin’? RIM = FAIL? Yeah, us too.
People we all well know that there may be an issue or two sure,but I just hope that it’s not only a few of you that this is a ploy to let the Iphone not have a real competitor too soon. *ching,ching*$$$$$$

AT&T is delaying this, at the very least, until 30 days after the iPhone release date. I own a Curve and I just got the iPhone 3g, and one advantage, from the company’s standpoint, is that with the iPhone 3g, they’re generating tremendous revenue on features per customer. This is due to the fact that the target demographic of the iPhone will be adding texting on top of the required 30 dollar data plan, which cannot be removed as long as the iPhone is in use. The only thing keeping one from keeping the data plan off of a Blackberry is the mail-in-rebate. Many non business BB users will immediately drop their data in favor of texting, which in turn greatly decreases the revenue per customer on the monthly plan for ATT. The release date on the Bold will almost certainly coincide with the inability of the iPhone users to return their required data-data having phones. Fo Sho.

The beacon of light for all humanity: BLACKBERRY BOLD.
This phone has quite a few recalls, considering it’s suppose to be the Rolls Royce of all smartphones. I was reading a blog and head that August 8th was the release date of this phone for AT&T. But then again that’s just chitter chatter. Can’t always believe everything you see and hear on the news. Or media for that matter.

I like this guy… and it is very true all the info out right now is mostly rumors and I dont see why you Iphone users come into our forum for RIM and BB… First of its very unwise of you guys to come in here and say that the iphone is way better… well for starters thats your opinion and us people that like BB’s its just from a business user stand point… The iphone couldnt support much when it first came out cause u had to actually jail break it which could be a cause of bricking your phone… Blackberry’s you dont have to do that and not only that there are alot of things the RIM comes out with on updates which makes things even more better… Do us all a favor and get out of here cause its pointless of you guys being here and complaining that the iphone is better when it is clearly not… and dont try to change our decisions… JERK OFFS!
