I spoke with AT&T yesterday and they said not til next year. Specifically because they want RIM to tweak the phone for longer battery life, they say it isn’t up to par for AT&T. At least that’s what they told me.

October 21st is here, no Bold. I was also told mid November by my ATT friend. Who knows, he didn’t for sure.

I travel extensively throughout the Southeast. AT&T’s network has provided EXCELLENT service.
I haven’t spent time with anyone using another carrier’s network that had more coverage. I have used a couple of blackberry devices. Currently using the 8310. Awesome phone, just needs 3G..TELENAV on the blackberry is better than any GPS device for auto use… I have a garmin in the truck & prefer AT&T’s TELENAV on the blackberry. Blackberry’s are extremely durable phones. I have never damaged one, but have dropped them many times. The blackberry provides excellent service / coverage when I am in an edge network area. I tried the blackjackII.. Nice phone, best option is that it’s 3G. I am carrying the 3G iphone with the blackberry right now. iphone is an excellent device. More bells & whistles that I need. It’s a cool gadget.
The ultimate phone (for me) will be the blackberry bold. It can’t get here fast enough. I appreciate everyone’s comments.

My ATT rep told me it would be released in early October (they told me that in July!) Sounds to me like it’s right on time?!?!

So…I really hope it comes out soon! I’ve been waiting for months now & it seems like it will never come out.
I’m super excited.
Although it has gotten some bad reviews at times, I know it will sell.
Its time for a change — after using my BB Pearl for years now!
COME ON OCTOBER! Early Oct.

Oct. 2 is a Thursday. Does AT&T do launches on certain days? I would love for it to come out asap and not have to wait till mid-end of Oct. if it is a Tuesday it would be on the 7th, 14th, 21st or 28th.

It will be available on Tuesday, Oct 02. My wild guess for the XXXXday, Oct XX.

I’ve been waiting this phone since forever.

It’s official. CEO of RIM announced today (9/11) that the Bold will be released in October on the AT&T network. Didn’t specify a date. The delay in the release was due to network certification issues. Hmmmm.

Can any one prove or deny this website offer for a Blackberry Bold is legit?
I’m personally not familiar with purchasing unlocked phones.
For most part it sounds reasonable in regards to price.
No payment via paypal or with a credit card for consumer protection concerns me. Then again I’m not familiar with how europeans do business. Sincere and honest input would be greatly appreciated.

Well that stinks. Went with ATT end of Aug in the hopes of a trade in for the bold. At 300, its not worth immediate purchase. Better off waiting or getting the HTC Touch Pro. Then again, the target is business users so the higher-than-iphone price makes sense.

Since I’m ready to throw my 3G iPhone out of the window, this may be a good time to jump back in to the world of Blackberry…

JUst saw that the blackberrybusiness.com website is selling Bold’s at $1029, down from 1500 over a week ago. Not a steal yet, but can any current Bold users tell me if it’s worth the premium?

And is anyone interested in buying a practically new iPhone?

that is possible already with any BlackBerry

Visit blackberry.com/mediasync to integrate with iTunes. No more conversion necessary.

The Bold being the first device to sync with iTunes WOULD have been true had AT&T actually launched the Bold back in the day. But now, you can just go to http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/media/mediasync.jsp and download the software. It will work on anything with OS 4.2 or higher

Syncs with iTunes! Awesome. Of course, no DRM’ed music (though there is a workaround), and no legal video. That’s right. . .if you want video on that gorgeous screen, you have to break the law. And no, RIM will NOT fund your defense. What a deal!

WOO HOO! I’ll put BB maps back on thank you very much.

If it’s on there, it should be left on there. But, I do understand. They are trying to make more money.

Re Nicholas:

The most recent version of desktop manager as well as the most recent version of pocketmac(free) have itunes sync and the mac version has iphoto sync as well. You can’t sync songs bought from itunes itself as only ipods get to.

Re George:

Geo-tagging means that when you take a picture, it puts the coords of the location in the data of the picture. ATT navigator is just something like telenav, a subscriptions service for turn by turn. Att, Orange, Verizon, etc. almost always takes off bbmaps wanting you to pay for their service, but you can just put it back on.
