Why hasn't the blackberry atlas gotten it's own section yet?

It'll never come out. Rumor has it that only 15 were finished and leaked.... I had one of those

Awww dude you always get the cool stuff! Talk about limited edition, only 15?

Any idea why they aren't going to release it after all?

[theanswer3]

because there is no need for it. The essex will take care of trackpad and wifi the tour doesnt have, and the curve2 8530 will fill the void for the entry level set. Curve2 vs atlas would only have 3.2mo camera and higher resolution screen. not much difference.

That makes sense.

What is so special about this phone? I've never even heard of it!

is it just me or do I turn around and there is another bb that's about to come out? lol

Perhaps they are hoping that true blackberry addicts are going to ditch the tour and buy at RRP or close to the "essex".
They wont be able to upgrade to it, being say only 6 months ish into a new contract, so if they want it they will have to buy it.
more money for RIM instead of a knock down prices for the carriers.

Never come out? That makes me sad. This was my dream phone, the Bold type hardware, with the Curve type keyboard.

RIM has so many freakin' versions of their phones, what's wrong with one more for me?!?!

It is a bit ridiculous. There about 20 or so unique BB devices floating around right now. more love to go around I guess.

and you got rid of it !?! you crazy

[tnewton3]

I too have never heard of this device.

[stab244]

Sounds familiar... It's still amazing how much leaks out of RIM headquarters.

I'm pretty sure this device is still on schedule to come out in 2010. It was first thought that it would be only for East Asian markets, but this isn't the case. It will also be available for Europe.

RIM actually has some fairly big plans for this device. It's cross-breed between the Bold and Curve. RIM is working on some new network technology for the device as well, which should make it a good seller.
