Just spoke to my mate he's sitting with the RIM reps with the phone in his hand and they told him release date is October/November (worldwide release) don't know if they would lie to him but there you have it.

If that's true, then that's me cooked. I'm not waiting that long - I'm due my upgrade now and there are plenty of decent alternatives out there...

Apparently RIM want to be the last to release their phones, something about "Business Strategy" to keep the loyal customers!!
