I hope so too. If it only gets released on att I'm gonna be pissed.
Since they unified the Bold name with the Tour name, I can see them releasing this for all carriers. The Montana would be the CDMA version and Dakota GSM if I recall.
Looks a little slippery, more "glass" means a bigger (ugly) screen protector, and the back is fugly. Other than that, damn fine. I'm seriously liking the retro style. Looking forward to playing with one, but don't feel compelled to buy -- yet. Waiting to see how much the software is improved.

I'm definitely getting this when it comes out! I'm so excited! But remember it's not the final product, so the back might change as well as a few other specs.
I believe this is the PERFECT blackberry. i really hope it doesnt come to t-mobile because i will be so tempted to get it... i just got the 9780 two months ago. my concerns are battery life. i really hope RIM does a good job of keeping their lead in the battery life race. i dont want to have a blackberry that i have to keep a charger on my person all the time.... let the android lovers have that
I never really care at all what the back of a device looks like, as I use the otterbox defender on all my phones. It could be polka-dotted with neon green and I couldn't care less. Regarding the battery life - I don't remember any phone I've ever owned lasting all day. I've always had a car charger for each phone I've owned since the first cell phone I had back in 1990. The battery sucks on all phones if you use it as a phone. Talk time drains em fast. I just hope that this device doesn't have the heat sensors like the 9000, 9700 and torch. Those made it impossible to charge the device while using the device.

I really like my Torch, but I do miss the form factor of my Bold. The keyboard and speakers of the 9000 set the bar for both. I hope the speakers are the same or better!
I love it!! I'm so glad I returned my Torch! I've been waiting for this phone and using my 9700 again which I still love. I was due for an upgrade since last November and will be waiting patiently for the White Bold Touch!!

I actually think the back looks good but the rest is exactly the same as the 9000. That doesn't mean its a bad thing and by no means think its ugly but since its a new and long awaited device,a new fresh look would have been nice imo. That said, I do see this thing selling pretty well.

Wow. Ya gotta be kidding me. This phone is awsome! I can't wait to get it (Tmobile comon!).
I still have my bb9700 and bought a Nexus S (Tmobile) and An Epic 4G (Sprint). Android phones are good but dang, I miss the BB form especially the satisfying "CLick" of the keys when pressed (an no, the keyboard on the Epic 4G sucks compared to the bb9700 as does a touch screen keyboard (is in both my Android devices).
I can still use my "decomissioned" bb9700 on wifi for unlimited text (thank you Google voice), cheap 1c/minute out bound calls (Tringme), web (both stock browzer and Opera Mini).
So I carry all three phones around with me.
I just love the simplicity of the BB9700 and won't give it up-that is until this new bb Bold Touch Dakota comes my way. Of course I will be greatly be disappointed if it goes to ATT and not Tmobile-ug.
Still, I am psyched for this new phone!
Oh wow, the bold 9000 in my opinion has always been the best blackberry made to date. However was wondering if anyone knew if this one would also come with the dual speakers that the original 9000 had. Also how's the battery on this...hopefully better then the torches.

As a current RIM hater (only use BB because I must these days), this would actually make me want to have as my personal phone. But the deal breaker for me would be the no contract price. I hope they don't put this thing much above 500. If it's 500 or below then I will give up my Nexus S for it.
Only complaint is the back, it looks ugly as sin, but perhaps it isn't final. Also it looks like they could have made the screen bigger looking at that big chin on the bottom but maybe there are some internals going there that I'm not aware of.
