RIM and AT&T Have A Bit Of A Soap Opera Going On

September 9, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

If you are at all interested in why the BlackBerry Bold has been so delayed on AT&T and how the BlackBerry Storm (a.k.a BlackBerry Thunder) and the BlackBerry Javelin play into it, you should head over to the BGR and read this post.

I reads like a soap opera, but, it is a goody…

    I just wish this meant they would expedite the cdma development of the Bold for us VZW folk. I spoke to a VZ tech recently who said the Thunder was on target for Oct but that the Bold would probably follow the normal roll-out cycle – hence, next summer. SUCKS

    Honestly, I would much rather have a CDMA Javelin than a CDMA Bold. I take your point, though. It will probably be a well into next year before we start hearing CDMA Bold or Javelin rumores.

    Robb said what I was going to say. They have no problem with high speed networks with Sprint and Verizon phones; just come out with the phones on the high speed networks that are already in use (and working). Seems like a no brainer to me.

    You know,

    One thing in that post that probably deserves mention in its own light is that the Verizon BlackBerry Bold will cost $199. I know that this is after probably a mail-in rebate, but still.

    If Verizon, who already sells a heck of a lot of touch screen smartphones, comes out with a 200 dollar touchscreen that says BlackBerry on it, they will sell a crap load of them.

    I had RIM and ATT in my office yesterday touting Bold. Date will now be last week of Sept or 1st week of Oct. It is in ATT final certification/testing stages. RIM guy had a “Demonstration Model” of the Bold running the latest Beta/ATT certified software. Cool device, O/S. Lots of new features if you have BES 4.1 SP5 or greater. (like Free and Busy on Calendars). It is large/heavy compared to my Curve. Stunning screen and browser features. Fast. Keyboard is a little better than 8800. Still not sure, but I’d rather wait for a 3G version of Javelin.
