this is the best news i heard today, lefts hopes its true

I will try to purchase the Bold from Rogers next week if I can. I don't want to wait until September on ATT. I noticed that the Blackberrys on the Rogers website are not available for purchase on-line. Will I be able to purchase one and have it shipped to the US?? Is there a telephone number to call and order one??

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Mod JSanders!!!

You rock and I'm back!

We need FRIENDS!!!

i was just proving you wrong, so as i said earlier...shove it!

The only way you will be able to get a device from rogers is if you get someone to go to the store and buy it for you and then ship it to you. Other then that you will not be able to call in to order the phone as customer service will not ship you and cannot ship you a phone without an account

It will be the third week of August, not you, that will prove my source - and you - to be right or wrong.

I accurately cited a source - you may or may not choose to believe the information, but there was absolutely nothing wrong about what I said.

Enjoy your life as best you can, because each day when you awaken and stare into the mirror, the person you face is the person you're continually cursed to be. Since I cannot wish any greater curse upon you, it satisfies me to wish you well.

I am betting on September for AT&T. If not maybe we can have it by Christmas?

good caution ... no year stated!

Both of you cool it towards each each other, put each other on ignore, just be civil, and/or be finding another forum that will take your bravado.

at least tuesday is only 3 days away

im sorry if you thought that i wasnt being civil because i told the guy to shove it. as i stated, i was just proving him wrong when he said that fortune 100 companies do not post on blackberryforums.com! im actually taking his posts lightly, but it appears he isnt.

Taking this lightly is a good course.

And dropping it is as well. I agree.

How do all of the people in the entertainment industry get the BB Bolds before any of us mere mortals and working stiffs? Is thier money greener than ours? What gives?
I realize that it's done to create interest in the product, but don't we all have enough already?
RELEASE THE BOLD AT&T! Let's get on with it!!!!!!

lol that was a funny video

I know some will not agree with me but I think that RIM really dropped the ball with the Bold. They need to stop resting on their past laurels and accelerate the introduction of hardware. Allowing the iPhone2 to take alot of their sales was a mistake.

From what Bloomberg said, RIM DOES realize that they need to do better in the past and will be pouring more into advertising and R&D to catch up! Do not get me wrong as I stand firmly behind RIM but alot of people were forced into a big purchase mistake due to not having anything to compete with the iphone2. <vbg>

I bet you can add months to your "trusted" info.

I may or may not have played with a Bold and I may or may not be keeping the iPhone around when it does finally come out.

I hope your right, my curve is getting tired....

It's being released here in Australia August 20th.. I'll have to get it though my carrier, Optus, on a 24mth contract.. $10/mth for the handset on a $79/mth blackberry plan.. can't wait, it makes my Pearl look so insignificant..

Thought this was interesting too mobigasmic.blogspot.com/2008/06/blackberry-bold-vs-iphone-3g.html

Now that I've returned my iPhone, I'm hoping the OP was right. Somehow, I doubt it.

Stupid AT&T/RIM/Apple/Chile/whoever is responsible for no Bold in the U.S. as of yet. :(

I know most think the Bold is either being delayed on RIM's end or the carriers. I came up with a theory. I was watching TV and saw a commercial for the opening ceromonies of the Olympics. I work in law enforcement and I know that there will be numerous CEO's attending the games. I thought it was too coincidental that the new release dates for the Bold are pretty close to the end of the Olympic Games.

wow, umm...thats quite theory.

I don't get it. What's the theory? You think they are going to get mugged for a $600 phone at an event where people are paying $2000 per ticket?

Take it with a barrel full of Salt... but my rep said Aug. 15th timeframe. I just hope anytime within now and before the end of august we all have this phone in our hands =) ...

More info from ATT insider (take it for what it's worth) - Bold will be released 9/2 or 9/3

I just received a call and he confirmed that Rogers Wireless will be selling the Blackberry BOLD on August 19, This is A FIRM DATE

of course....

i am lining up the night before at my local rogers store!

i also was told the same thing today by my contact... aug 19th

i called it a week ago here and CB forums !!!!

I'm happy for your Canadian folks. I want to reciprocate the favor and let you be happy for those of us in the United States.

I'm currently playing with a Nokia E71 and it's a really good device, but damn does it prove just how awesome RIM phones are. I need a Bold. Period.

Wow. just keeps getting pushed back and back
i'm sad

Several of the site I watch that sell the unlocked devices have changed their dates to Aug 19th also but one of the sites has changed the date 3 times in that many days. I have purchased the device on a pre-order (which I hope was not a mistake) and now I am just watching all the dates change. It will be here when it arrives.

Ray,

Your ability to provide accurate information on this topic is quite suspect. You have misinformed multiple times in the past and thus you can appreciate why we'd be skeptical about your source of information this time around.

In any event, thank you for attempting to provide some clarity to this matter.

ok, for those of you that heard Aug. 19th, is that when they'll be available in the stores or be online and then stores at a later date?

So when is AT&T in the USA getting the Bold? Is it still sometime in September of what year?

BBForums needs to start a LOTTERY! Guess the date and win one get out of jail card!

they will be in store on the 19th ready for sale.
