    ok i know there are TONS of threads going around with dates and times and all that good stuff about the Onyx.. i just thought i would share my insight, obviously like almost everyone on here, i cant 100% CONFIRM anything because its just stuff we have heard. but what i can say, is that from a ATT national conference call, the Onyx will be released November 15th 2009. a little later of a date than i hoped, but its not too bad.

    Thanks for sharing. The news and rumors is are going to pile up. Why is RIM so secretive about release dates? They always wait till the last minute. Apple is pretty open about that that stuff.

    RIM isn't the one releasing the device. You have multiple carriers releasing a device. Therefore it's up to each carrier, not the manufacturer to set the release date.

    Oct 9? I hope you are right, I really do but I just can't see it happening...

    Moving to Rogers for 9700 the day it drops though!

    will there be an earlier b2b release date for rogers?

    What about the 9700's that arent going to be released by the networks ie the unbranded unlocked ones that you can buy...any idea as to when they will be available for purchase??.

    You're totally correct there. But in this case, "apostrophes" holds true as a valid plural form. :-/ Let me revise my search results:

    apostrophes -apostrophe edu - Google Search

    Now let's get back on topic!

    lxr200, can you give us some more clues validating your information? Any rollout details such as stores receiving dummy phones, promotional material, commercials, etc.? Do you know anything about the white 9000's currently being listed in the AT&T retail POS?
