Almost midnight here in Chicago and not one report about the launch party here today. That's just terrible. If I were there, I would have been giving reports every 15 minutes

"I actually just got back, it was alot of fun but not too much more info other than what has already been said, and of course every answer about when its actually coming out was the same.......no one knows. but having never seen the phone it was pretty cool, the first thing i noticed was how light it was, and the screen is amazing. they had a station of bolds with iron man on and it was so clear i thought i was watching on my HDTV at home. I did take some pics that I'll post later if they turned out okay."
"BusinessWeek has managed to get its hands on a teardown of the BlackBerry Bold and it looks like RIM has yet another reason to be upset about the ever-delayed AT&T release: huge margins. While the Bold is currently available in many markets around the world, RIM’s largest market, the US, is still in limbo. New information suggests that said delays may be costing RIM more money than we think. Self-proclaimed market intelligence firm iSuppli is known for pretty spot-on teardown analyses and after picking apart RIM’s Bold it came up with a number: $169.41. That number represents RIM’s estimated cost per unit from material sourcing to manufacturing to assembly. By comparison, iSuppli estimates Apple’s cost per unit of the iPhone 3G to be $174.33 which would make the likelihood of a competitive AT&T-subsidized price on the Bold very likely. Prior estimates had placed RIM’s cost on the Bold at a higher figure which lead to a bit of speculation that AT&T’s Bold pricing might come in a bit high for certain potential customers. Hopefully this new number is closer to reality and we can all hope for a contract price right around $200."

Its seems like there is really no point to these launch parties.
Like I said before I'm getting the feeling that we won't get a release date at all. It will just show up in stores and they will be like "ok you can buy it now, thanks for waiting" lol.

(Star Trek theme song plays in the background)
This phone has BOLDly gone where no other phone has gone before, in a complete and utter state of confusion.
Considering now that this phone is pretty much old news, it should now be officially named, the...MOLD
