If you have a BlackBerry Bold operating on AT&T, this morning you would have woke to a few new icons and service books for YellowPages.com Mobile and TeleNav AT&T Navigator. In fact, some of us have had those icons for a couple days now. Given the name of the YellowPages.com Mobile service book, we’re wondering if this is a good indicator that AT&T may very well be getting ready to finally launch the BlackBerry Bold. That or they’re just getting their ducks in a row, and you’ll have to wait until 2009 to get a Bold, which is entirely possible. Couple more shots of the service books after the break if you’re really interested.

The Bold has been held up by ATT engineering due to radio/power management and the resulting lousy battery life of the original. My former colleagues tell me the new version is slightly thicker, but has very solid battery performance. “Best handset i have ever owned’ was said in two different conversations. The delay isn’t unusual with ATT; it’s frustrating personally-my old BB is on it’s last legs- but worth it ultimately i am told.

I am hearing of launches all over the place. AT&T you have a lot of loyal customers jumping ship to other carriers. Release this phone, you pretty much fixed the bugs with the IPhone and it is still a hot item, so release the Bold.

It will not be tomorrow. No ATT stores have them in.

Why do some of you numb nuts post on here asking ATT to release the bold as if A. ATT gives a rats ass about your opinion and what you want and B. they come to http://www.boygeniusreport.com to see what douchebags like you are saying about their products.
They’ll release it when they want to release the damn phone, so quit your crying about “my phone died” or “I’m gonna switch to another carrier”, because no one, SPECIALLY AT&T, gives a rat’s ass about your phone and they certainly don’t give a rats ass if you discontinue their services. They already made their money off of you and you’ll be replaced by someone else in no time.
It is an awesome phone though.

I just got off the phone with my local AT&T rep trying to get some idea of how much longer the wait was going to be for the Blackberry Bold. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Hey, I was wondering have you guys received the Blackberry Bold yet or do you have a tentative release date? Seems like i’ve been waiting forever. (which I have)
AT&T: No, they normally don’t send them to us until a few days before the release though. Hey, you’re that guy that keeps calling every other week, aren’t you?
Me: Ummmm, no? You must have me confused with another customer interested in the Bold… Well let me ask you this, have they at least scheduled the training for you guys so you’ll be prepared when it does come in?
AT&T: Nope. Honestly, it’s probobly gonna be the day after Thanksgiving when it comes out but even that’s optomistic. That’s what i’ve heard and not a day sooner if then…
Me: You’re Shi**ing me! Serious???
AT&T: Yeah, that what it looks like at this point…
Me: AT THIS POINT??? So there’s no set release date? YOu have no clue, no inkling? Nothing?
AT&T: Not that I’m aware of, why don’t you take advantage of our sales on the other Blackberry products? And then upgrade when it arrives, we can…….
Me. *click*
Hope this helps those of you who insist on being faithful to AT&T. I know we’re (me and the family) not staying. I was never a person who wanted an iPhone, never needed an iPhone but they (AT&T) want to milk all the mileage out of that cow before moving on to the next greatest thing, which by the time it’s released will be LAST YEARS LATEST AND GREATEST. Aloha AT&T!

I have to respectfully disagree douchebag…they actually do care because customers are what make the brand…that’s like saying if all their customers left to T-Mobile or Verizon they wouldn’t care…a bit extreme but you see my point…you either give the customers what they want or your company will suffer for it.
