Thread is already inaccurate as even AT&T won’t sell the Bold this month because they already said Nov at the earliest, there is no way so little co-seller like Best Buy would have it and they wouldn’t.

My mistake. In BEST BUY stores. Still available to order directly from Sprint on Oct 19th.

I thought the HTC Touch Pro was to be released on Oct 19th? The above says in stores, so perhaps it will be available to order on Oct 19th and be delivered on or around Oct 26th. Can’t wait!

Even if you over look the fact that some of the phones have shadows while other don’t.

Even if you over look the fact that some of the phones have colored backgrounds while other don’t.

Even if you over look the fact that some of the carrier names are in bold while others aren’t.

You can’t over look the fact that the picture of the BB Storm is branded with a BGR watermark, meaning that whoever created this obvious fake could only get his hands on the BGR leaked picture of the storm.

So I’m supposed to believe Best Buy the largest electronice chain in the US has a random slide that they show to execs or whatever that happens to branded right in the centerr with a BGR watermark? Give me a break..lol

I would love to think that the Bold will be out the 26th at Best Buy but do they do that on Sunday’s? Seems like a strange day to bring out a new item.

OMG, I really hope it comes out on the 26th, that’ll be a perfect B-day gift for me…..

I’ll hold off on the iPhone to see what the Storm has to offer. I’ll definitely get it at Best Buy because they offer a better price. The Verizon store will make you pay more then have you do a rebate. Best Buy doesn’t.

HAHAHA.. Not gonna lie, I didn’t even so much look at the picture. I read the dates in the post. That is just funny. I LOVE the fact that the storm has the BGR logo in the corner.. Good stuff!

Whether fake or not, BG did say it was old and the picture could’ve just been snagged off the net by Best Buy just to have something in place. Obviously these release dates are not solid, as is evidenced by the Bold’s date. However, the Storm’s might be accurate since it will be released on Verizon before Best Buy…with a launch of possibly around Nov. 4th

I have to agree with others on this because I’ve seen other official documents on this site and many others and I’ve never seen one like this. But hopefully, the dates are correct because I’d love to check out the Storm a little earlier than I expected.

@tofu

how did you put your picture in that box? Does anyone know how to put a picture near your name when you comment?

Can we please ban comments from these short bus riding assholes?

“PowerPoint draft deck”

Draft, bitches. As in, this is a draft copy. I work for a wireless distributor and we always use random pics off the net in draft materials until we get official images from carriers or manufacturers. READ.

What about the whole middle ground where …That picture of the Thunder/storm isn’t what the actual product looks like. On the real one, the chrome “plastic” doesn’t look like this one pictured. It more wraps around to back of the phone.

Uhm…ya…you can totally see BGR logo on the Storm….Total SCAM!!! BG should have caught that!!!

I sent in this image and I guarantee you that this is legit, from a BBYM powerpoint found on the internal Employee Toolkit. Believe it if you want, call BS if you want. All I know is I tracked it down because I wanted to know when the Storm was coming out and thought I would try to be helpful and share.

Why would any one put this farce document up here? Weird how some carriers are written in a bold font and others are not. Funny how some phone’s in the image have shadows, and some do not. I find it also funny that one phone has a perfectly square red background behind it…Not only is this a copy and paste job, but probably one of the worst ones I have ever seen. Whoever sent this in, please do us all a favor and stop playing with paint at work, shouldn’t you be getting your boss coffee or something?

By: Justin

Justin — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:49:04 +0000

I also think this is BS. I have worked for BBYM for over a year and we have NEVER gotten a little PDF looking image like this with information, we always have to look in RSS.

And why would the professionals who work at Best Buy put the release date of the bold behind the image.

By: Dingoberry

Dingoberry — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:38:46 +0000

So the Bold’s date “conveniently” is hidden behind the device and the Storm picture is the fake mockup that was first published.

Gonna raise the BS flag on this.

God I hope this isn’t true because I really don’t want to wait until the 16th to get this phone. Hopefully they just won’t get to Best Buy until Nov 16th, but will be released at the VZW store much earlier. Oct 26 sounds good to me.

I’ve already forgotten the Bold. Sprang for the Nokia E71 last week and am in love with it. The Bold is just another Blackberry to me. Its luster has come and gone.
