Bear with us folks. We’ve just got ahold of an AT&T product sheet dated September 17th. Also known as “the most up to date doc you’ve seen”. Before we get into the BlackBerry Bold nonsense, here’s a break down on what the sheet says:
- HTC Fuze will launch on October 23nd
- Motorola V9x (new V9 with GPS) launches on October 2nd
- Samsung Mirage i907 (basically our version of the Omnia) launches on October 21st
- Pantech C740 in red, navy, and green launches on October 14th
- Nokia 6650 launches in red and silver on October 23rd
- BlackBerry 8320 in that totally cool color launches on October 21st
- BlackBerry Pearl in pink launches on October 2nd
- The BlackBerry Curve in “burnt orange” is pushed to “2009″.
- The regular BlackBerry Curve is discontinued
- The Palm Treo 680s are discontinued
Now for the weird stuff… this sheet lists the BlackBerry Bold with a November ETA. We’re not so sure what’s going on, but we’re sticking very firm to our October 2nd launch date on AT&T. There you have it, guys! Larger image after the jump.

VERY kewl Ethan!! If you love touch phones, you’ll adore the Storm! Personally, I’m not a touch phone person. I’ve found there’s no middle ground, one either loves them or just isn’t comfortable using them…I like using keys to type, etc. Maybe it’s the geek in me! hahaa My Bold is a killer phone. Simply the best I’ve ever used, bar none! 3G screams on it and for the (now) nearly 2 months I’ve had it, it hasn’t dropped a single call. The graphics are flat awesome and the layout of the keyboard is *exactly* perfect for me. I do know you’re going to really love the Storm though! I have a couple of friends who were doing some testing with it for RIM and they couldn’t say enough good things about it! The only thing they were upset about was that it wasn’t going onto a 3G network. Do you know the release date on it yet? I heard the rumour that Verizon is going to be releasing it right around the same time as AT&T is bringing out the Bold (Nov. 4th). Is that what you’re hearing about the Storm? Can’t wait to hear how much you love it!! PLEASE post here and tell me how you like it - I’ll be watching for your “first impressions”!!

____________________________________________
Having used mine now for two months, I can say the price is worth it! I haven’t had any major problems whatsoever! Actually, what I plan to do is give my oldest son the one I’m using now and buy another for me. I prefer to use the Blackberry enterprise system for my email etc. (business reasons) so my son will be happy and so will I! (The Bold I currently have is out of Canada and the serial number ties it to Rogers. I need to be on AT&T for my business BB mail. *sigh*) Tomorrow morning, on my way to vote, I’ll pickup the new one and then in the afternoon I’ll ship off the old one (with OS updated) to my son.
Tanner, they had the Tilt on the website but I didn’t see that looked like the Fuse. I’ll look in the store tomorrow morning and see what’s there. They always put the AT&T name on HTC phones, but I can tell which ones they are. I’ll post here when I get back if you haven’t found out yet if the Fuze has been released.

Hey jackbutt- guess what? At&t beat other networks to the iphone, the mirage, Nokia 5800 expressmusic, and the bold. Isn’t that telling you something? They have the best network. And at least they didn’t have to have a massive recall like verizon did with the samsung glyde.
