    I haven't heard much talk about a VZW release date for the Bold recently. Does anybody have a handle on this? Hearsay is welcome...

    It would also be great if people could add a source. "Own Opinion" or "Local Hearsay" are both fine too!

    Well you won't see it this year on CDMA. only on GSM for now... CDMA is getting other blackberries...... as you may already know.... So yes I don't have a source, but in my mind that is when i would expect to see it.

    Verizon is always at least a year behind all the other carriers. The cool thing about this is that by the time they actually come out with it, I'll be up for a new contract with them

    Don't hold your breath and wait around for Verizon to do anything.

    not for a while. all the information available seems to indicate that they'll get the thunder first.

    "Verizon is always last with new phones."

    That may be why they are getting exclusive US release on the Thunder/Storm. Perhaps a little image repair (very little - I'd much rather have a Bold).

    Wrong. Sprint is the last.

    You can't really say which carrier gets new phones first or last because it depends which phone you're talking about -.-

    All indications point to 09, and late 09 if that.

    Yea, not anytime soon. My dad wanted to wait for it and I told him he is gonna wait a looooong time on VZW. Then he saw the Kickstart video and he wants that now because he likes flip phones! I told him thats gonna be an even LONGER wait! :P

    What happened to speculation about a September release? Or even Q1 '09?

    I just got the Curve, so i am hoping that the Bold comes out for Verizon, right when my phone plan ends. Upgrading to Bold.

    vzw is always really late. if you are on verizon just go out and buy whatever phone you want now, then try to get a discount by haggling when your new phone comes out and then sell the old on one ebay, dont deal with the hassle that vzw gives you regarding release dates.
