Anyone up for a fun game? The rules are simple: call up every Rogers Wireless dealer in your area and ask them when the Bold will be released. Post your results back here.
Played that game with AT&T awhile back.. Oh, how fun it was!!
Not sure why everyone is complaining about RIM. Its not like they release it to the public. Like a few posts above said, its up to the carriers to announce a release date. Why keep setting yourselves up for disappointments? It'll come out when it comes out. People can jump ship and cry foul all they want, but it won't make a difference. Just enjoy what you have now.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for it to hit this month, but I would rather the carriers delay the launch and get things right, then for them to launch when it isn't really ready and then see the same people post " my phone is freezing/rebooting/lagging. They should've fixed this before launching." Its been this long since the Bold was announced, a couple of more months won't kill you since its not a revolutionary change, but evolution.

That is the most rational, sane thing I've heard in the Bold threads in ages!
Ok spoke to the third agent at Rogers regarding Blackberry BOLD. The launch will begin the week following the Tennis masters series in stores nationwide. It was good to see the pics of the BOLD at the Rogers Centre. Most definitely this will be a great venue to kickstart the campaign. One Rogers rep said that they were waiting for the Iphone mania to die down as this was a suggestion from RIM in order to get their sales up. Following the lower share price for Apple, RIM wants to launch this one properly to avoid the competitions footsteps....interesting but from my financial background it is hard ot equate the two together as they are two different companies with different products...anyhow having said that...BOLD is here for August is what has been confirmed by 3 reps now....at least their stories seem to be in sync.....
Here's the funny thing I went to Costco today and the guys who sell Cellphones were advised July 25th. I went to a rogers store after and they said the 25th. This after all the guys online said right after the Rogers cup???? So go figure... It is sometime in the next 2 weeks I hope!!!!
I was told from an inside rogers employee in head office, release will be fri July 25 / Sat July 26, sit back and hold on to the Bold-orama Ride of your life. Make sure you lock in you $30/month 6Gb plan before it ends August 31/08.
