Part of me is sad for our southerly neighbours who apparently won’t get the BlackBerry Bold until mid-August or later, part of me is smug that everything looks like a go for the Rogers release. Supposedly there have been some approval issues between RIM and AT&T over the BlackBerry 9000’s battery which are slowing down the rollout. To be fair, this is why firm dates aren’t nailed down at launch, but it must be a bit disheartening seeing Canadians get this fine device first. Who’s disappointed? If you were already sold on the Bold, surely you could wait another couple of weeks, eh?

Any chance this device will be seeing HTML email or is RIM throwing that feature under the bus?
Forget ATT, When is T-Mobile gonna get it?
I can not belive this so many of us are waiting for this grate device to come out. If AT&T Have delayed it will everyone eles follow suite
it will be a shame if we all have towait untill aug lets just hope AT&T are the only one with this delay
I know several people with personal BlackBerry devices who were waiting for the 3G iPhone and Bold to come out before deciding on a new phone. Every one of them is no longer willing to wait for the Bold.
I suspect AT&T was thinking the same way…
Chill out Canada - so what if you (might) get it first - BFD. We’ll all have one soon. Are you staying awake nights in anticipation?
