What do you guys think? I am hearing June 25th for Rogers and July 17 for AT&T. Can that be right? And if it is, are there any trustworthy Canadians out there willing to buy me one at the non-contract rate?

It's June 23rd. I'd think if they were releasing it on the 25th, we'd have had an announcement by now.

You need not worry as it will be on eBay the day it is released

True, but I'm hoping a fellow board member will just pick me up one at the same time they get theirs so I can pay retail. Ebay will be 200% of retail.

I was told today by my RAE that the Bold was pushed back to Sept/Oct timeframe for at&t. I hope it's not true but he has never been to far off on launch dates.

Ive read enough BS news from supposed contacts or liazons to not believe anyone who says they got the news from a contact of liazon. LOL. Most of them are wrong, and most swear by their contacts. Except for a certain one person here, or gizmodo, everything else is no different than my 5 year old telling me he hears aliens are coming next week to take all the children to a planet called marklar to play with the other marklar babies.

Let me know when the aliens are due to come next, I will leave my kid at the front door!

My kid says the aliens will come next week. His news comes from not only an AT&T rep, but also Verizon and Tmobile reps. Yup, this news HAS to be true! OH ... and also from his trusted personal source ... they come bearing large oprah sized doghnuts that inflate over time.

YES WE WILL!
in your face America

If it is released on Rogers on the 25th (for example) does that mean that unlockers and importers will have them available soon after that?

Will Rogers world airport, why do they need a Bold

theoretically yes. buts its the 23rd and the launch party is in July those dates dont add up.

Stranger, just because the launch party is in july doesn't mean the device wont be released in june :P

the 8700 was release way before the launch party

isnt Will Rogers Dead? Sorry couldnt resist

Just for general info, TIM Italy has had the Bold in its online store since end of May / beginning of June, albeit as "not available". The local flagship store hasn't got a clue as to when it might be available, and the reps there told me that it's not possible for them to order it yet.

I have set up an email alert of when it will be in stock at TIM Italy and will update the community

yup when did the new pearls launch? quite some time ago

launch party was earlier this month

Yah so why would he need a blackberry

Honestly, I'm done speculating "when it might come out" and "who will get it first" I'm just gonna sit and wait until you can actually walk into a store and buy it. there is a different rumor almost every day now.
