This is great, I'm upgrade eligible at the beginning of July. I wonder what the upgrade price will be? $300? PLEASE have some kind of good deal, AT&T. Probably not, though, if it's an AT&T exclusive for 3-6 months as BGR says.
I was just at the Tim Hortons beside RIM 8 on Albert Street and I asked an employee that had a RIM badge on about the slider. He actually didnt deny me info he said June aswell. He didnt say which carrier to me though.
I just really hope that AT&T's exclusive rights are only 3 months as the BGR article mentioned as a possibility, as I am due for a TMO upgrade in november!

No. the greatest day is when dakota is released. not the bold slider
I hope more info comes out on the Dakota within the next couple of months. I wouldn't want to get the 9800 and then find the Dakota coming out by, say, November. Although it would have to be a lot better than the 9800 for me to wait. One of the things that the 9800 will have over the Dakota -- and it's a BIG thing for these old eyes -- is (apparently) the much larger screen.
Oh yes, the wait to decide between the slider and the Dakota is going to be painful. I'm not sure what I'll go with, but my husband seems to be excited about the slider.

Yeah seriously... I'm getting pretty sick of AT&T's "exclusive" deals... it's the only they can keep customers... by essentially blackmailing them by hoarding devices....
I HOPE this will come to T-Mo by fall!! Still happy with my 9700, so can tough it out a few months

makes sense. they want something for customers who want the storm but dont want the iphone. i know a couple of people who fall into that category.
I personally wouldnt want this phone. i want the pearl and the dakota
I don't want the Storm. If I wanted a touch screen only device, no doubt I would want the iPhone. What I would like is something iPhone-like on the touchscreen front but with a BB keyboard. This may do it, particularly since it won't have that cursed SurePress. The Dakota may be too small screen-wise, but we'll see.
canuck tmobile has some exclusive devices too, remember the first Android Phone, or the HD2 its just the way for companies to control phones and get customers.

Wait what? last time I checked we didn't have a tmobile. Rogers, yes. Tmobile, no.
Hey I can't wait for this to come out!!!! .... But here's food for thought .... Why if it is being released in June (which I really hope is true!) wasn't this device mentioned at WES? The pearl 3G and the CDMA bold were mentioned and are being released soon so why not this one? Just something to think about

well i'm running a storm 2 on tmo and not having 3G sucks. at least now i can get a touch screen 3G that'll run 3G on tmo. yeah i might have to cough up more dough but i can't wait to get 3G back. att might have the rights to it but going forward RIM said all GSM phones will cover all 3G frequincies. so i'm good
I've been informed by an inside source that this device still has A LOT of work to be done on it before it is ready for the public. RIM employees have had the opportunity to try it, but it is still no where near production quality.
