The roadmap got both Verizon & Sprint release dates wrong. And it got some right. Who's to say that while they got one AT&T date right, they're not wrong about the other dates the same way they did with other carriers..
It's both hardware & software. You can't surely sit here and tell me the software the 9900 & 9930 released with didn't have bugs. And they still do as a matter of fact.
As for working well in some areas and not others is absolutely true and your comment above is only indicative of your lack of knowledge on the subject.
AT&T isn't Rogers or Verizon or Sprint. AT&T has had many mergers and honestly the network is in a sense, pieced together. Lots of times, and not just with BlackBerry's, testers on the East Coast typically have issues that those on the West Coast don't have and vice versa. This is obviously dealing with the radio stack and network reception, I'm not meaning software here.
The fact is that CrackBerry represents a very small minority of BlackBerry users. Just look at the issues from reboot loops, dead/white screens, bug in camera, antenna issue/droping coverage, browser crashes, memory leaks, etc etc. Now I will totally agree that there are more positive threads than not about the 9900 here at CB, but in the big picture if all these issues exist here at CB and CB makes up less than 5% of all BlackBerry users it's quite easy to see that these problems are more prevalent than many here want to believe.
I won't even get into the manufacturing issues in Mexico that haven't been reported in the media yet and only those familiar with the situation(RIM/Carrier Partners) are aware of. And people wonder why they're out of stock. Good day sir.
