Sorry Cory, your source is likely correct but until Rogers says so, it is rumor.

I would have to agree Greg.. But given the launch parties all through July. I highly doubt they would do all that, then tell everyone: "We're Announcing Release of the Bold in August.." Just positive speculation I guess.

Odd, I can't find those specific posts either. Speculation, as in "maybe" but nothing with "supposed" confirmation from someone with Rogers.
Of course, I might not have looked too hard.

YOu're right. Cory is the first person to announce that an undisclosed source has "confirmed" the device's release date. This has not happened anywhere else on the internet. I'm happy his previous "confirmation" of a June 25th release has been revised as a "rumored" release date, lest anyone be confused by all the confirming that's gone on this morning.

I've been very skeptical of this "no UMA" rumor since I first heard it. Nice find!

Unlicensed Mobile Access. It's VoIP. All calls, sms, email, internet, etc. all goes over WiFi.

While we're on the subject can someone expand on UMA. Does the cell phone company have to support or can it be done with any wi-fe regardless of the provider?
Search provided no answer at least I could find.

I appreciate any rumors, leaks, gossip, bad jokes, well pretty much anything that helps pass the time while we wait. At least as each new date approaches and then ultimately passes a new date appears to give new hope.
I too read a lot of tech blogs, BB, WinMobile, Palm (the last two for humor) and Apple. I did recall reading something about 7/25, but it was rumored and it sounds like this is more definitive and that is positive. I'm new to the BB world still learning my way around but gadgets are my passion.

tvguru's post about UMA makes me quite happy. UMA would be one of the biggest reasons I purchase the Bold. It's just my opinion (or personal need) but UMA will give me far more benefit than 3G will.

Thanks for the info Cory... I knew June 25th was too good to be true. Yes, RIM execs are already using the Bold on Rogers 3G network.

My inside sources say Sept - of course my sources are CSRs that don't know much ;)
When the 25th comes, since I am HUP'ng do I have to order over the phone or can I do that in a store?

At first the rumor was a launch date for June 25th (via internal RIM document), but the device was apparently pushed back by Rogers as there were issues with the 3G radio. My contact (who will remain a secret) confirmed the use of the device by numerous people around the office. He also confirmed that Rogers will be the first to launch the device in all of North America! He later was able to tell me that the device is slated to be launched July 25th. That’s right people, confirmation from an internal source at Rogers that it will be available to all on July 25, 2008! Way before AT&Ts rumored launch time frame of August.
I was also able to confirm that all of Rogers BlackBerry devices with WiFi will not be crippled as previously rumored. You will be able to browse the internet using the WiFi. But only the 8120 and 8820 will be enabled for UMA.
When I found out this information, I then contact my other numerous contacts within Rogers and they all confirmed the July 25th launch. So start saving, and get ready for the biggest device to date! And don’t forget to mark your calendars! I know I already have!

Hey Cory, weren't you the guy who said that the BOLD was coming out on Rogers on June 25th?
