Fine, since everyone is making a stink about this... this is exactly the reason why i deleted my post the first time... yet people wouldnt drop it...

there will be no press release today about the bold, the release date is August 7th... my contact broke his NDA to tell me... which makes sense (the date) because its not in sales central yet, once its in there, marketing material will be send to stores the week of the 28th... and release on the 7th... which gives enough time for the plants to ship to the stores

Arguably one one of the silliest things I have seen written.
If the pain comes from within then so does the happiness/joy. Who are we to say or judge the measure of another man's happiness?
I could go on, but what would be the point?

Cory, if you had not wanted to post the info, you could have asked a moderator to delete the initial thread. And you kept coming back here to taunt users with what you couldn't say.

Regardless, scroll up, I think we already broke the Aug 7th date as well.

the reason why i didnt say anything way earlier, was because when i was told about the 7th i was up and ready to post... but then someone else told me about that "meeting" last night, and it was pushed up to the 29th... so i cancelled posting it until i talked to my contact to confirm that or not...

Thanks Cory! Any news is better than nothing, and it sounds like you have the best lead on information so far. We all know nothing is for sure until it is actually released. I'll now look at the 8/7 date and hope.

Thanks for sharing what you know.

That date is for Rogers and not AT&T.

The target date is July 29. If for some reason they cant, the fallback date, as JS has said, is the 8th. Demo units are being shipped/in stores now.

Thanks, what this the date for AT&T to have the 9000? BTW, what is Rogers? Im new to this stuff.

Thanks!

Rogers is a Canadian wireless provider.


Just spoke to a Rogers csr and he said that he was told the 29th 20 minutes ago. But stock in stores won't be in till August. He said we should be able to order over the phone on the 29th though. From what he understood anyways.

That actually sounds reasonable. especially from a Rogers CSR.

No one knows for sure when AT&T will be getting it but my guess is between the end of august and beginning Sept.

if you are in dire need of this Jesus BOLD phone then just email Ted direct,

Listen everyone, I have a contact who works at the RIM headquarters who said the release is July 29th for Rogers.

I can't give you much more information or prove my sources; but I'm not the rumor-starting type. That's all I can offer! Take it for what it is.

We already knew this if you read the preceding posts. Good to know you have a reliable source though.

Actually, there seems to be a bit of disagreement on the date in the preceding posts. Some say the 29th, others are saying early August. I'm only confirming the former.

when is someone with a 'source' going to stop asking the wrong questions? we are pretty sure it will either be the 29th or the 8th...whatever. what about pricing? will rogers offer a no contract price? etc.

Rogers will indeed offer a no contract price. My RIM guy will be purchasing me one through Rogers, flash unlocking it, and shipping it to me here in the States. No, I cannot tell you the price though. You'll know on the 29th.

roger will sell more bold to the usa then to canada

Yes, I guess i will find out on the 29th...I have family in Canada and will be getting one shipped to me as well.

Now if we could just get that Rogers branding off of them, we'd be all set!

I dont really ever post on these things but I figured I would tell you that if you go to the official shopblackberry webpage and then click on the Bold as the model for accessories most if not everything is available on the 29th of July for the Bold, this probably points to the 29th as being the day that it is released for Rogers.......cant say forsure but the two dates match up......
