If you had the device for a while you would realize that, after sucessive updates from Telus/Blackberry, this device still remains buggy. If it worked proprly I would love it, that is why I paid the bucks in teh first place. If it were free, I would not care, but the fact that I pay Telus about $175 a month after you factor in high use, LD, unlimited texting, etc. and paid upfront a couple hundred dollars AND, that is still locked in for 3 years, it is a rip off piece of crap. Telus knows it. I will go through my 3rd then will have Telus cancel my contract and I will get a decent smart phone that works. Buyer beware.

In speaking to the fact that people both here and south of the boarder had issues with the press, or “reviewable” units they got, those were indeed also pre-launch OS builds. You can’t judge this device on its merits as it performs with OS builds from months ago. I think its safe to say that the delay in the accelerometer and such will have been cleaned up by the new OS releases come launch date. And now that anything 4.5 and newer can accept OTA (over the air) updates on the network, its not a concern anyway.

The tentative date is still looking to be Dec 8th, with a tentative price of $299.99 on a 3 yr and $699.99 no contract.

My guess would be that RIM and TELUS announce an official date during the launch party on Dec 2nd at The Guvernment nightclub in Toronto.

It does seem a little strange to wait so long for a date on this thing but I guess all good things, right?

Thanks for the information on the performance of the Storm.

I know you talked to them first hand but I seriously doubt the delay is all OS related. If that were the only problem thy would be more forthcoming about pricing. I think this has just as much to do with establishing the highest price point possible. If you look at the BB 8830 World Edition they have left the current price at $299.00 on a 3YT. If the Storm is everything they say it is the 8830 price should have been reduced by this point.

Does it come with a business card in the box to stick under the battery so the screen clicks properly?

I was just in Telus and they told me Dec. 6th release date, but the shipment will not arrive until Monday the 8th. They took my name down and put one on hold. This better be for real this time!

I love Blackberry! So, I am deaf and still have Blackberry Pearl. I’m wonder to know if either one of Bold or Storm have provide for the deaf and hard of hearing access for communication like, Relay, TTY, text message,and Blackberry messenger, or much more. I know iPhone has a problem with keyboard.
