Sue, not anytime soon... there are no reports that TMo will be picking up the Bold. Their next big release will be BB Javelin.

Talked to Vodafone UK today (07-08-08) as I am waiting to change my contract and want the bold. The release date on Voda is 01-09-08, they said it may be later but that's the earliest.
Another month at least then :-(

We just received work from our supplier that Rogers is is testing the code this week. If everything goes OK, the Bold should be available on August 19th or 20th in Canada.

I know we've all heard this before. You probably shouldn't hold your breath just yet.

This is getting ridiculous, I mean I wanted a Bold as bad as the next guy, but how many delays can we really put up with? Honestly.. I’m over it. Maybe I should jut buy a damn iPhone.

Apparently the dates have been pushed back again. I checked the Vodafone UK site and it's still showing the Blackberry Bold 9000 under the "coming soon" category.

Rogers Blackberry Bold launch date - according to Retail contacts there is a PO that they are to be receiving the Bold in Canada on August 8th with latest launch date August 12th! - Hope I'm right, ready to get my hands on one ; )

I just got a new 8310 from Rogers on monday... I got it for 199.99 early upgrade. Should i return it? Will they let me get the Bold at a early upgrade rate too?

Re: New Bold Release Dates—not July 25!

Telly — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:50:49 -0000

Exactly. I'm not due for an upgrade until January 2009, but I'm so OVER my HTC and want to get the Bold. I was at a Rogers store in Mississauga last week, and I was told I would have to pay atleast $600 if not more. =/

I was in a Vodafone (UK) store in Cambridge yesterday and was quoted a Bold release date of August 3rd/4th (can't remember which!) Handset only price of @£400 and or free on £35 monthly contract (18 or 24 months I imagine).

Re: New Bold Release Dates—not July 25!

Diggler — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 23:07:58 -0000

I find it funny that you reported that it wouldn’t be released on the 25th ON the 25th - what breaking news!"

I am glad you appreciated my humor. I was afraid no one would get that.

ricky -

If you're talking about the crackberry review, then you should realize that was a prerelease build - small batches of which are made to try to get the form right. Once they do, they start looking at build quality, better materials, etc. From what I've heard, the screen scratch problem is overblown. The battery/WIFI/etc issues were caused mainly by an early build of the OS - simply updating it solved a great number of issues. Am I stating this as fact? No. But most people are overblowing those issues without understanding the what and why. I would expect build quality at least as good as the Curve, and probably better, but every person I've talked to who has been able to handle a Bold has only used an early build - I don't know of anyone who has used a release build - and they were still impressed with it overall (once the OS was updated).

You have a better one?"

What the hell is a "better" release date? I'd rather have one that isn't complete BS. No dealers have gotten any prerelease info on the Bold yet. If it was going to be released on Tuesday, they would certainly get sales information before the Bold was shipped, which they would be momentarily (or already) considering said apparent launch date.

Who is your source? I have heard nothing from anyone I know at Rogers (and no, not lackey sales reps LOLOL) or friends who have passed through RIM on co-op and still keep in touch - though all of the other information I've heard from these sources hint at an AUGUST Rogers release.

I find it funny that you reported that it wouldn't be released on the 25th ON the 25th - what breaking news! Looks like you guys have had your heads up your asses so far (like most sites), so I don't see why you should be believed now.

Did RIM then fix all the issues, battery over heating,draining out,plastic screen that scratches etc?
