Comments on: Is The BlackBerry Bold Coming To Verizon And Sprint? http://www.rimarkable.com/is-the-blackberry-bold-coming-to-verizon-and-sprint The Official, Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:12:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: kbox http://www.rimarkable.com/is-the-blackberry-bold-coming-to-verizon-and-sprint#comment-117204 kbox Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:36:49 +0000 http://www.rimarkable.com/is-the-blackberry-bold-coming-to-verizon-and-sprint#comment-117204 I recently bought the curve and love the phone. IMHO Sprint has a nice network capable of delivering to the full functionality of the phone. Ok the TV can be choppy but I'm not too interested in tv, yet anyway. If Sprint launched the Bold tomorrow I'd get it but, physical features aside, my real interest is fir the wi-fi functionality. Between my home and countless other free wi-fi I encounter through my day, I'll be able to use talk and data, unlimited...and for free! No different than any of you of course. I FINALLY will KILL my land line service! I am sure most of you are thinking "why haven't I done that already"? Let's just say it is a married "thing"...ha. Anyway, I'm keeping my hopes up that it will release soon. Until then I will enjoy my best handset yet....the Curve! Best regards. I recently bought the curve and love the phone.

I was on the same board for almost a whole year waiting for the curve to come out. there were false dates given so many times it a joke. I hope its true because im up for upgrade in september and i will definetely get the bold if its out, but if not im getting the curve and im not waiting past september. ive waited to long. i even went in the store in may to buy the curve at full price and the employee talked me out of it. its ridiculous. this is all bad talk.

Rev A. is as fast if not faster than ATT's 3g crap. (and it actually has better connect time) Only if they are staying EVDO non-REV A.

Why would this timetable of 1 year later all of the suddenly change to a few months? If it does, I am not complaining, but just curious. Is there any reason to think that this may be true this time, or is this just the beginning of another long year of launch date rumors and watching ATT walk around with another phone we VZW users can't get?
