Unfortunately, it will not be available until after Rogers has gotten most of the mileage it can out of the iphone and then can start promoting the Bold.

I don't know why people keep trying to make this an iPhone issue. We've read several times now where it's the
device that isn't ready yet.
I know it comforts some to think that the carriers are delaying the Bold because of a fear it would eat into iPhone sales, but this just isn't the case. The two devices aren't competing against each other. Most of the folks who buy iPHones aren't interested in other smartphones, they jsut wanted an iPhone because it hooks up to their iTunes.
