Over/Under on Bold launch date

[flyingblackbeard]

We loyal USCC customers know how to be patient waiting for newly released phones. If I give you Nov 1st as a launch date for the 9930, would you take the OVER or UNDER on that date? Personally, I'm taking the over. I'm foolishly optimistic that it will be released in time for a potential black Friday sale, but wouldn't be surprised if it took longer.

I'm taking the over as well. In fact, I would doubt we'll even know by Nov. 1 (not just officially, but via leaks) if or when USCC will be getting the phone.

Its not on the rebate form it has the 9850 & 9350 on the rebate form. I can believe that uscc would pick the 9850 & not the flagship 9930.

It's possible that they have no plans to sell the 9930 or they are waiting to see how it does on other carriers first.

Maybe they weren't impressed with how the 9650 sold for them and therefore are a little gun shy of the Bold 9930.

I would have to say "over". My guess would be the end of November at the earliest. If at all.

I base this guess on how other carriers are releasing the Bold and Torch within a few days or weeks of each other(Bold first) and USCC is releasing only the Torch.

Hope I'm wrong. (It's happened before)

I will say 90 % of the BlackBerry user will not buy the 9850 most of us want a key board also. If uscc doesn't carry the Bold 9930 then I think they have screwed them selfs. Business that have BlackBerry's for there emplyee's but the phone with the key board. That's my two cent's worth.

Any word on the 9900??? I was set on getting the 9850 but now I am realizing that i NEED a keyboard.. I just message too much.

It would really suck if USCC never gets the 9900... You know we never got any of the bold's until we got the 9650 really late.

If I have to end up getting the new curve 9350 that will suck, but oh well.

I don't have any info but it just seems to me if they were gettin the 9930 it would have been on that leaked rebate form.

Hopefully they are just getting it a little later and would be on a different timed rebate form

I agree. I would think there would have been some indication or leak if the 9930 was coming to USCC.

I think a low end Curve and a full toch screen as thier only two new BB devices doesn't really cover the majority of BB users. A touch screen and the 9930 would have been a good pair to offer.

BigE has indicated the Bold should be coming (may have even indicated it was in testing), but we still haven't seen any leaked docs which indicate when that may be.

I hope you're right but I am skeptical. Is that just your gut feeling or do you have anything to base it on?

[Angry_American]

More gut instinct than anything, it wouldn't be smart for USCC to not carry it unless their thinking is the Torch will replace the Bold in their lineup. I am an Agent, no inside info, I am just speculating. I wouldn't think it would come out much before the end of the third quarter due to the fact its not on the rebate sheet. But then I have been wrong many times before.
