Done with at&t, as a matter in fact there service is terrible over the last 6 months anyway. Goin back, and stayin with Verizon for good. Bold is such old news, especially when the rest of the world has had it for a couple of months already... I’m happily waiting for the Storm on Verizon.

The world of technology moves very fast, and RIM/ATT has botched this release about as bad as can be imagined.I imagine Verizon is plenty happy about this.

There is really nothing special about the Bold anyway and its too damn big! I predict the Storm will be out before the Bold and will capture all the media.

If the Bold uses so much less bandwidth, what's the problem anyway? You see you can turn that number around and argue that the Bold should have no problems if it uses 1/20 the data bandwidth. At that rate, adding a few more weeks of iPhone sales should pose more problems to a crowded network than the Bold would.However, I doubt that statistic is true anyway...it seems kind of fishy to me.

Please point us to evidence. Anything to the rumor that the iPhone uses 20x the data it should with its “ping pong” implementation and hasn’t left any room for the Bold.
