you don't appear as a liar. We have heard different dates from a number of people. You are only relaying what you have heard. So is the other guy. Just both from vodafone. Which justifies the point that those people are often mis-informed or ignorant because they are not told anything.
However, I find it hard to believe that at this stage, they do not have a date. So I believe that they do have a date now, just not allowed to explicitly announce it.
If you do phone up a number of times to speak to a few reps, you may well see that they all are saying one month, same as the rep you spoke to before. Or 2 may say one date, one may say another. Not forgetting that some reps I bet would have heard a date before and it has since changed, but they have not been informed. So august may be incorrect and out dated because as far as we know, vodafone may have already completed, or soon to have completed their own tests. They may have gone really well, so what used to be an august date has now moved up.
Who knows. Be sure to relay back to us

I to find it hard to believe they don't have a date for release, maybe RIM don't want them to tell people just yet :/
But I will phone up two or three times, cause as you said; one may say one date the other two could say another, which I did think could happen myself. So hopefully that might work and we'll get somewhere and get a idea of when it might hit the shelves!
I really do believe the dates have been moved up as why else would they put that sneek preview up :s
I'm going to get some sleep now & when I wake tomorrow I will start to harass the Reps there for some solid info
as soon as I know, I'll post here what he/she said

Been eager to get my hands on one and lurking around here so thought I'd add to the disussion. Just spoke to VF and the guy put me on hold for a while then said the phone is not released (yes we know) and that I should call back on the 1st of July, read into it as you will.
06-09-11 03:21 AM - Thanks SSteffan, keep us posted as to what they say today. i still think that there is more to this,I to find it hard to believe they don't have a date for release, maybe RIM don't want them to tell people just yet :/

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-09-11 04:04 AM - Okay, so I called up Vodafone this morning and the first Rep told me he does know of ANY release dates at all on the Bold 9900...
The second Rep told me he doesn't know when it's coming & called it the Bold 98000! I told him it was the 9900.
He really wasn't clued up about it at all
But then said it's 'Coming soon' and could be a few months yet....
So I phoned up a short while after, I was told it's defiantly going to be July, but he doesn't know if it's the start or mid July at the moment. he seamed very aware of the device & knew quite a lot about it as opposed to the last two Reps, he told me to phone more towards the end of June for more information.
Still not sure what to think now as those first two wasn't the responses I was hoping to get!
As if that isn't bad enough I caught my nephew 'playing' with my Bold today he almost put it in the cats water bowl!
But now when I press the BB button it clicks the track pad too :/ FML!
I desperately need this phone now!

O2 will get it for sure, just have a feeling it might be a voda exclusive. you can always unlock it
06-09-11 09:24 AM - I'm in the United States, so I have no idea how carriers in the UK release devices, but if Vodafone is already putting out promo vids for the Bold 9900, I would assume that the official relase date in the UK isn't too far off? I'm with Sprint, and if I went on thier web site and seen an advert for Bold 9930 "coming soon" then I'd think it would be avaible within a month. again, not in the UK, so not sure how things work there, other than to say thank you for The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zep, Monty Python, the Young Ones, Ab-Fab and Gavin & Stacy06-09-11 09:50 AM
- with the vodaUK video, i was sceptical, thought maybe it was just to show the world its 'coming'... but now with the spanish as well, i honestly think we're going to see if before north america *dons tin foil helmet*JAydee, you are right that the spanish version of voda.
All looking good, even if it was a voda exclusive prolly would only be 2 or 3 weeks, but can see it on all networks as it is the flagship device,
just release the effing thing rim
it's clearly in testing in europe.. without a sniff of any evidence it is in the states..06-09-11 10:11 AM - Im on o2 but doesnt bother me if its only only on VODA first. O2 will get it for sure, just have a feeling it might be a voda exclusive. you can always unlock it
Yeah I'm pretty sure O2 will get it as Vodafone & O2 are the two main carriers in the UK
What with the parts showing up on True Supplier & the dates I've been told...I think were gonna get it soon!
