    its going to take place in phoenix, Az....The real story behind the delay of the bold is..

    ....A) the 3g problems that the iphone had and still have had put a bad taste in AT&T and RIMs mouth about releaseing the bold prematuraly. B) They aim to release one exclusive device each quarter and because the iphone was launched in thye 3rd quarter the bold will be released in the 4th quarter..

    jgarv the release will be nationwide and include every store at teh same time (except for the time delay in each time zone)...internally meaning various people have them to see how they are working

    Alright thanks my man. When do YOU think it will be released? based on your sense, considering you are the one who has found this information.

    With all new hype of the blackberry storm on crackberry, it seems so tempting to jump the bold ship to the storm ship. I am still hanging on the bold ship but as each day goes the storm is getting very high to me. Touchscreens are not my way but as more people dive into the storm craze and speak their opinion, its just a matter of time before I get trapped. lol.

    personally i have nothing.

    i know someone that works at ATT and he's been there for about 6 years now so he knows usually when things are getting pretty serious. and anyone i'm sure can say now that it's getting pretty close to the release date. even though there is no set date yet...it's getting close. if you're dieing for one...and don't think you can make it...WELL THINK AGAIN! because you can!!! IT'S GETTING CLOSE I SAY! CLOSE!!!
    Hehe...I love optimists! I am one myself! I'm looking forward to my Treo Pro tomorrow. That should hold me over until the Bold finally comes out.

    Well my old Samsung flip phone, which was dangling by a thread, finally bit the dust two days ago so I just replaced it with a Pearl 8120. I am loving the Pearl but I had really wanted the Bold.

    Unfortunately I had to make a decision this week based on what was on the market.

    Question -- if the Bold comes out within the 30 day period, am I able to switch it out for the Pearl -- even if the Pearl is working OK?

    I don't want to lie and say the Pearl isn't working or something just to get an exchange.

    Most carriers give you a 30 day window to try out the device and if you don't like you can return it and cancel your contract if you want with no fee's so you shouldn't have to lie about the Pearl not working.

    i'm being optimistic being this actually looks solid. usually all the other times were PURE speculation. this is speculation too...but with some hard evidence. so who knows...maybe we'll see it sooner then we all think

    scotts11, I know this isn't your fault but I held off purchasing my 8820 based largely on speculation that the BOLD would be out sometime on or around 11/02 at the latest. Give me some good news and let Xmas come on ~10/17.

    I am just hoping it's here by my upgrade eligibility date (12/7). I may get too antsy and try and talk them into letting me upgrade early, I've heard they will.

    i'm hoping it will be out before then...I don't even think i'll want it if it goes all the way to december...i'll have a Storm, or Javelin, or BOTH
