Any recent updates on Verizon Bold?
- I just posted this in the Bold forum, but then I realized that this might be a better place.
When everyone was waiting for the Bold to arrive on AT&T in the US, we were getting speculation on when it would be released on other carriers. I know there are dozens of "Bold on Verizon" threads, but none of them have any new information.
At first, it was Sept/Oct for the Verizon Bold. Then AT&T got pushed, and so did everyone else. Then it was January 09 for the Verizon Bold. Now that's looking like it's not going to happen. We haven't heard anything new on it in a WHILE. Since it's been released on AT&T, no one's providing information on Verizon's release timeframe!
I had an 8330 and now a 9530, but I'm not really feeling this Storm thing. I really just want an effing Bold. I'm thinking of going back to my 8330 and just holding out for it, but I really like the newer OS of the 9530 over that of the 8330. That's why I want the Bold. + it's beautiful.
Do I have any chance at all for a January release, or even a Q1 release? Or am I just going to be waiting a damned long time?12-05-08 10:13 PMLike 0 - I'm also waiting for the Bold in CDMA for Verizon Wireless! I'm not feeling the Storm thing either and want everything that the Bold has and would like to hear validation that its coming in Jan, Feb, Apr, June, etc!!! Just give me hope that the Cadillac of all Blackberries will be on its way to VZW! Stop with the secrecy will ya!12-06-08 11:11 AMLike 0
- How long exactly did it take before Verizon got the Curve?

Again this is just a rumor, but safe to say, you'll see one by Jan-Feb.12-07-08 10:47 AMLike 0
- I just wonder because
1. The storm JUST came out
2. We usually hear about bb releases far in advance
I mean, I guess the 8900 release kind of crept up quietly... I just wish I had some hard factual data so I can return this storm and not end up waiting a whole extra year for a new device on my curve again.

- I tried the Bold again today at the AT&T store and let me tell you, here in the NJ/NY metro area, I think I'll get excellent coverage with AT&T. What to do, I'm seriously thinking about switching over. Unless! Verizon gets a Bold soon. How infantile of me.

However, there is probably room for both a touchscreen BB and a high-end standard BB in the Verizon market. Personally, I need a keyboard, so the Storm doesn't really fit my needs.

- I am another hold-out for a CDMA Bold (or is it Niagra?). I love my 8830 and would love an update to it (with camera). I held a Curve 8330 and it just felt too small to me (probably because I am used to the 8830WE). I type way too much on my BB to feel the call of the Storm, so I keep hoping that the 8830 replacement is in the lineup.12-10-08 09:20 AMLike 0
- the problem with the Verizon Niagara is that our Corporate Verizon rep confirmed that it will be CDMA only. I wish Verizon carried more world Blackberry options; the 8830 is becoming somewhat of a dinosaur, and I returned my Storm b/c i need a real keyboard - can't type fast enough on a touch screen, no matter how accustomed to it you get, even if you're using SureType and the short cuts.12-14-08 07:22 PMLike 0
