Hate to say it and be negative, but this is precisely why I went elsewhere. I just don't see why USCC doesn't get it. They don't seem to understand that people DO care about device selection. Maybe the mid August rumor is also incorrect?

Pretty sure this is more RIM's fault than US Cellular's. Do you see new BB devices on other carriers?

If we see any of the new BB before the holiday shopping season I will be surprised. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised none the less.

We can expect to see them several months after everyone else.

It seems like the only time USCC is fast or first to market with a device is if it's something no other carrier wants and has already passed on.

The June rumors were for the Monaco, not the Bold. AFAIK the June/July time is still accurate for the Monaco.

It doesn't matter. I wouldn't hold your breath for the Monaco. After all, we're already 5 days into June and nothing has been announced or even hinted at as far as a firm release date. If we get a new BB before September, I will be quite surprised at this point.

Maybe it also depends on how quickly they deplete their current inventory of BBs.

Maybe they don't want to hint too much (or at all) about plans for new BB if they are still sitting on a pile of 9650s and 9330s.

Well, the Bold are Curve (the only two offerings US Cellular has at this point) are at rock bottom prices. If they aren't moving now, they never will.

Actually, I see the Bold is back up to $129.99, which is ridiculous. I believe it was recently on sale, though.

I just got my wife a 9330 for $10 after rebate. I think the Bold was at $30 or $35 after rebate.

This was about a week ago.
