they will be starting today, not all store will get them today, but they are being shipped by courier as usuall, 90% of the time the stores do not know what they receive until the shipment arrives. But either way I do not think that they we sell them before Thursday. Sorry AT&T I am refering to Rogers Wireless.

It's quite ironic that you are asking him of all people. Ray has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of credibility at predicting a release date for this phone. I'm certain that Ray is an incredible guy, so please do not take any offence Ray, but his track record is just pitiful.

Cars- why don't you just sit back, enjoy a nice soothing cup of tea and take comfort and joy in the fact that you'll have a new toy to play with by the time the weekend rolls around. Savor the experience because the truth is that in 7 days you'll be craving something new again.

Savor it all friends. It's the experience and the interaction that brings you joy, but the new-built-in-obscelence-toy that the ceo admits is designed to only last 18 months.

Personally, I'm looking forward to having most of my music at my disposal. That's probably the biggest advantage to this upgrade that I can discern. The rest are just bells and whistles. 3G sounds appealing but I don't believe it will make me any more productive (the time I've spent browsing/posting on this blog I could have probably built a house in Costa Rica!) or help me improve my business at all. I suspect most of you feel the same way.

That doesn't make sense since the dealers need to order the quantity they want. They don't just get random amounts of hardware. The only stores that might are the corporate stores.

I couldn't agree more.
Just as a reminder, I am 100% on track with these rumor release dates as all the other posts. Lets enjoy that tea, I like it large, black, and bag in.

You think that includes AT&T?
My gut and my trust in AT&T say "no way jose".

This statement goes with everyone else out there trying to pry any information from what ever sources they have. And, I would say that this cat and mouse game is not exclusive to Rodgers - just look at AT&T... We are so in the dark with so many assumed dates of release. No one knows. (except the real insiders)...

It is like quitting smoking and you creave another cigarette but don't have one to smoke...

I held the unit in Feburary at WES. What ever date, it will be worth the wait...

Last week a few stores in the downtown GTA region told me that they wouldn't sell the Bold outright but on new contracts only. If any Rogers Wireless dealers in the GTA region are on here hit me via PM and let me know where your store is. I'm hoping to purchase a unit outright.

I heard the same thing. I really hope this isn't the case though. I was told that if you are not eligible for an upgrade (had current phone at least a year) that you would not be able to get the Bold. The idea behind this is that they apparently are targeting new customers to Rogers.

Cheers to you Ray!

Remember friends, it's the experience that thrills, not the goal.

May we all be peaceful and happy!

Just go to a corporate store. They have no problems selling without contract.

Default Would the store sell before launch?

I was told be the sales guy that as soon as they have them in hand, they sell them, regarless of "release date"

Anyone think its possible, camp out side the store, and wait for FedEx?


I dont want to waste more time, but I want a Bold... so....

Nothing confirmed. Keep checking the AT&T threads.

Congratulations to our friends in Candialand.
