[James Wang]

i woke up today, looked at crackberry and was like whaaaattt.

couldnt have been asleep for more than 7 hours...

[BBalwaysand4ever]

Everyone talking dates but big RED.... I don't get it!!

[aerosnout]

nothing yet, what's up with that? I hope there is a BIG PUSH marketing Wise. Every Sunday the Big Red has a one page ad for 4GLTE in the LA TIMES. I hope to see one like that for the BB

It seems like Verizon is becoming less and less important for Blackberry launches. Before Sprint would get the new BB a month or two after Verizon, now Sprint is up to par with ATT. Verizon is nowhere to be found. What do you think?

[jc5977]

at this point, i'm hoping for a silent launch...if the aug. 10 release date holds true.

[waterfrontmgmt]

i think vzn will be out before sprint.

Verizon has not said as of yet!

[UrbanGlowCam]

I think all of the Verizon branding we've seen leaked and even the video demonstration we caught on the official Verizon site says a lot.

Also, don't forget that the Verizon CMO said 3 new BlackBerrys this year.

There is no way BIGRED is leaving out BlackBerry. Trust!

My latest chat with Verizon online:

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.

You are now chatting with 'Katie'

Katie: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?

You: Any word on which of the new Blackberries Verizon will carry and when they will be available?

Katie: Unfortunately we do not have any current information on what new phones Verizon will be releasing.

You: Thank you.

It could be that Verizon is planning on releasing the 9930 next week as speculated so it would fall within their normal plan of not saying squat about a phone until they are ready to launch it, typically 24 hours in advance.

Plus if Sprint isn't getting the 9930 & 9950 until "Fall" then that would line up with Verizon getting it now and having a lock on it for a few months. Don't forget Verizon is still way bigger than Sprint and Verizon has the cash to lock in the early launches.

Finally the accidentally (on purpose) video that was posted was potentially early viral marketing or a complete blunder that Verizon will turn into early viral marketing (see we have been talking about, free publicity).

So a Bold 9930 will replace my Motorola Droid 3 and I can move forward with the corporate standard of blackberry. Will I miss Android, sure, but at the same time a BB will do all I need and as posted her on CB, we BB users consume data.

If vzw has it before sprint... Well i might be leaving.

[Doc Z]

VZW will be getting it by the end of the month but it likely won't be next week.

[aerosnout]

[Phil DeLong]

is there at least a release date on the BB otter case lol

Otterbox? No, and it won't do you much good without the phone.

[southlander]

I seem to remember reading that on VZW there would be very short notice. That is, an announcement followed immediately by release. Anyone else remember that?

[Reppiks]

I sorta recall signing up to receive a notification email from RIM or vzw when the BB 9930 would be available. I hope vzw releases it soon! My BB submitted papers for disability...
