Earlier rumors were calling for an August 14th. or 15th. release of the Wi-Fi-packing BlackBerry 8820 on AT&T, but since that day has come and gone, fresh hints have emerged placing the date closer to September 15th. On top of that, AT&T’s 8820 will supposedly be packing twice the battery life as Verizon’s BlackBerry 8830. That’s sounds like a camel throw-down to me, considering the 8830 can go 22 days on idle.

I called my local att, and the rep told me that the 8820 had a release date of September 4th. He also said that the stores don’t necessarily have the phone for the first week or so, it might only be available online for a couple of weeks.
