Word on the street is that the Verizon BlackBerry Thunder will launch on October 8th. I am still not completely sold on a BlackBerry with only a touch screen, however, I am so getting one of these when they come out.

I have to say that I am fairly skeptical about the BlackBerry Thunder launching in less than two and a half months. Granted the BlackBerry Bold has been delayed a couple of times however, we’ve seen a lot of press about it and the Bold is prominent on the BlackBerry website. You don’t have to look too hard to find celebrities or even AT&T employees that already have the Bold.

I don’t believe that the BlackBerry Thunder, on the other hand, has even been officially announced. We don’t even know if the device will indeed be called the BlackBerry Thunder. I would be willing to bet that if October 8th is the date that the Thunder will launch we will starting seeing some big announcements coming out of Waterloo in the not too distant future…
