Also, if you think that a tech company will give testing enough time to finish before they start handing them out to marketting etc. then you haven't worked in many businesses. They will probably still be testing it up until or more likely after the time when they submit it to the carrier for approval. :twisted:
Skive,
I was informed of this by RIM employees, and there have been rumors thats its already been submited to carriers for network approval.
