And with two of our most trusted US liaisons — BG and Engadget — offering conflicting reports as to the specific imminence of one BlackBerry Curve on AT&T’s network, the confusion seems to have doubled.

This tip, too, could go contrary to Engadget’s supposed release date of the 13th. Man, it’ll be fun to see what happens tomorrow. Even if nothing happens, fingers will be pointed.

Because of this, BGR’s sticking to his guns on a release tomorrow. There’s obviously some contention on the issue, but it’s true that in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter. We’ll get it when we get it. [...] [...] AT&T’s got the Curve on their site now, with an e-mail notification in place for when the BlackBerry is ready to roll.

He has more connections and information on Berrys than Engadget ever will. BG was given one to test almost 2 months ago. Did Engadget get one? I think he knows his shizzle and engadget is just publishing whatever they hear without checking the facts as usual. My money is on BG.

But like everyone says things change, and yes AT&T is the absolute worst at launching devices. Look at the Nokia N75 launch two weeks ago, on the website, off the website, etc. Whoever is pullin the triger over there when it comes to launching devices needs to be fired! it's all speculation right now (nobody knows) But I hope BG turns out to be right, I want this thing, and Friday would be perfect!

BG is very good, but plans change, and what he hears one day can change overnight. It would be great if it released on Friday, but how much does it really matter? It probably wouln't hurt for all of us to rearrange priorities a bit Am I the only one to remember the Cingular Pearl launch?

If it were any other provider, I would believe his information is correct, but he is dealing with the new ATT a.k.a the old ball dropper with the orange symbol. I'm surprised they were able to coordinate the change over to just being called ATT, letalone sticking to a planned release date. They are more unreliable than my drunk uncle's promises to remember my birthday.. I have faith in BG, just not in ATT. BG is the dude, but have to bet against him on this.

I bet the earlier date was originally the plan but that is has been pushed back for one reason or another. I just cannot see RIM launching a device this anticipated and that they want to be the premier of their lineup without having a launch party first.
