Soooo how accurate is the info on the Monaco?

The video leaked of the Monaco, appeared to be VZW branded, hard to beleve that USCC would have a phone that quick that is VZW branded.

I'm up for a new phone in May/June I was going to jump ship for an android handset but if this is true, This is a game changer!!!!!

I agree. I need a new phone now as my current BB has 2 dead buttons, and I just can't make myself like either of USCC's current offerings. USCC is the only carrier with coverage here, and I'm really feeling like I'm between the proverbial rock and hard place. I wish USCC would keep its current customers better apprised of future offerings...maybe we'd be less inclined to consider jumping ship.

With THOSE specs, I will surely wait a month or two after I an eligible before getting a new CrackBerry!! Thought the original Storm and Storm 2 was a really cool phone but only having coverage with USCC in my area (not to mention the price difference in plans with VZW), I just couldn't see switching to get the storm, but I am really getting excited now about the touchscreen stuff.....

My birdies have never been wrong, but keep in mind that timetables can change. Delays do happen and phones can always fail testing (e.g. the Style 9670) but this is the current roadmap.

USCC has dropped the prices on its existing phones significantly in the past 2-3 weeks. Maybe this also indicates new phones are coming out soon??? Fingers crossed here.

Big E, thoughts/potential/timeline of USCC getting the Bold Touch? The birdies saying anything on that beauty?

I asked actually and they said It's not on the roadmap right now. That doesn't mean it couldn't come in Q3 though.

Interesting, appreciate the heads-up. I love BlackBerry and as much as I am loyal to USCC, would consider moving carriers if USCC does not offer a selection of BB's I am interested in. The Monaco is intriguing and I would consider it, but would want the Bold Touch way more. I hope USCC will be getting more than just the Monaco in 2011; hopefully the Bold Touch and new Curve at least, and maybe even the new Curve Touch.

[Droidophobe]

Well the LG Saber has appeared at USCC, as predicted.

My current BB has 2 non-functioning keys and I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out for a new one. I know this is a BB forum, but does anyone have any thoughts on the Monaco vs the HTC 7 Pro?

[kbz1960]

Thanks for the heads up BigE! Maybe I will use my upgrade when ready.

[house78]

I'm hoping that they get the Monaco, I have a Tour now and I was thinking of jumping ship for a iphone or Droid. I'm just so in tune to how blackberries function and that's what is keeping here but I wish US cell wouldn't take so long to introduce new products.

I hear the PRO 7 might not make it...rumor has it that the Windows phones are bleeding money...aka NOT SELLING...what are you hearing? The leaked pictures looked as though it had the old TP2 keyboard...
