Soooooooo excited i can't wait. I almost bought an iPhone but thank god it's coming out soon. Yay!!!

I hope that's right finally.. This one sounds right now. My AT&T guy called and was talking about sending us a seed product to test here very soon.

We will see.

Too bad i just bought a new macbook. oh well. ill have to buy it more around christmas. hopefully itll cheaper then.

I hope its true guys. Us Canadians went through a lot of bogus release dates from some of the members here, but I hope your sources are better than ours.

Hope it's true. My VZW contract expires 9/19 - perfect timing!!

For the love of everything, please be right.

I really hope so. I using some of my school loan money for it. Or i might have to sell my ATT Tilt. But i need a backup phone... What to do, what to do....

school loan money for the Bold? are you on crack?

We're hearing Sept 12 and 15th.
Bold on AT&T September 12th, $299?? | BlackBerryNews.com

Ahh Mr Sanders please be righttt!!! Oct 2nd seems so far away. Also RIM did say Summer 2008, Fall doesn't officially kick start until Sept 22. So they do have a chance to hold true to what they we're sayin some months back when the Bold was announced!

As usual, we'll just have to wait and seee!!!

Oct is too far....hope its Sept 12.....lets see...just cant wait!!!

Old news, been up since June.

September 12th? Summer? Of which year? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hardee har har har!! Woo hoo hee hee hee! Aaaah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Whew, that was a good laugh!!

Ya October 2nd (really the 6th) is too far. What are these jokers doing.

Heck September 12/15 is too far, but at least I can hang in there.

I can handle either if the $299 pricing is accurate.

I like the price. I want the bold as much as the next guy but I can wait if it means a more stable phone.

i was really hoping for $199

The Bold is going to replace my iPhone for personal use and then I am going to replace my 8700 that I use for work with a KRZR. That's two new gadgets at once! C'mon AT&T, let's do this on 9/12!

What the hell happened to the sept release on TMO????

Doing it now, Sept 12th-15th, or even Oct 2nd. Won't do much in stability of the device. Most likely those things are already packaged and ready to roll. at&t is not your daily newspaper that brings stuff hot of the press. Those devices are most likely in a warehouse somewhere!

Ok, now I'm pissed!!! at&t is dragging this out just a little to much. Greg's new Bold is operating just fine on the 3G network, what's to say at&t branded one's won't do the same. Sounds like somebody made a deal with the devil over at at&t, and the devil's name is Mr Jobs..hmm!!!

And just to add more salt on the wound! If history serves me right here, the iphone2 was dropped on Jun 27 or right around there. Now, an Oct release for the Bold would have given the iphone a full 90 day run without in house competition from the Bold.

Which if u ask me is pure stupidity on at&t's part and even more so for RIM. They cater to different people, plain and simple. And even worse, RIM got big timed by Apple because Like somebody said earlier, summer of what year guys??? Not cool on at&t's part at all!

uh, there never was a sept release for Tmo. it was just guesses being thrown out. maybe next year, and a big maybe.

Which is "plain" and which is "simple?" I wouldn't describe a blackberry as "plain" or "simple"-"sophisticated" and "works" would be my choice. I guess the iphone has a "simple" operating system.

yap why do you think I don't have apple computers?
I am also going to kick out the iphone it realy don't serve me as a phone,and as an ipod without battery option to replace.
also there are new phones on the market that will do or more then the iphone such as the Nokia, HTC and so.....
ATT will have to make up there mined or loos my over $300 a month charges.

How do we know ATT is dragging it out? Have you seen an offical release date from them? Everything I have seen is rumor, conjecture or what some who had a friend that knew the janitor that knew the plumber who knew the ATT sales person's barber and got the word that way.

I think they could have delivered it quicker. I agree that AT&T or RIM never gave a date so they can't be late but AT&T customers are/were used to being on the cutting edge with new devices.

While I can understand why Canada could/should be first, when I read that Chile was releasing . . . I am sorry but what ever the reason, the AT&T earlier release of the Bold did not match their agenda. We can all argue and guess what that agenda is but not one of us know the truth!

It sounds like it is going to be introduced in the next month, or so and I know everyone is going to enjoy. The Bold is truely amazing.

Greg, I can't wait. From our previous thread conversations, I have used a Pearl for almost 2 years, but I am infatuated with the Bold and I hope I like it.

Yeah... Exactly...

They probably delayed it so that they can add the At&t branding to the OS and work through the top secret battery issue....

Well Walt,

If you do not like the Bold then you are very hard to please. I am not much on the youtube thing but today I found myself with about 30 minutes of nothing to do except to wait on a fishing partner and I can not remember laughing so hard. It turned what would have been forever into I wish my fishing partner would be late!

Who knows!

What I do know is for me, the battery is no issue! <vbg>

Greg, having a small device is very important to me. Not so much a small size in the hands, but for carrying purposes. I use the OEM leather swivel holster for my Pearl and it sits nicely strapped to my side. The last full QWERY device I used was an 8700 about 2 years ago. I did not keep it that long. I also had a 7130, which is no small device. That thing is a brick. I hope I will like the Bold.

If you thought the 7130 was a brick, you will think the Bold is, too!

Sorry, but the Bold is going to feel huge compared to the Pearl.

I meant that the 8700 was a brick. The 7130 was not too bad. It is narrow and a tad thick.

I just can't wait till the Bold is out so I can check it out.

The Bold is flatter than the 8700 chassis but it is larger in size WxH.

Bold Wanted List

any updates on the ATT release date?

Hey well, I'd hate to jump on the rumor mill and tell you what I heard from an AT&T employee because I'm pretty sick and tired of waiting yet like a loyal BB user, will never go to an iphone, not cuz I don't like it, but the whole keyboard touch screen, not for me. Anyways, my friend works at AT&T that's just a few blocks away from my house, and she told me, well let me forward you the message: "Okay well the word in the store is that it should be out like the last week of this month. Not for sure cuz The blackberry sales rep havent't gave us any word on it." she promised she would let me know as soon as she found out they have them in stock so if that makes anybody feel better, I guess I can post that when she does let me know. Keep holding on guys, I can feel it,....oh wait,....that's gas. Come on RIM, AT&T!!!!

HILARIOUS POST - lmao!
