Warning the folks in the United States who are dying for the BlackBerry Bold might not like the following post. The Boy Genius has confirmed from two high up RIM execs that the BlackBerry Bold won't be launching state side until at least mid-August due to issues with battery life and overheating. AT&T has not commented on this issue. 

Now what does that mean for Rogers? Well who knows maybe Rogers will release it anyway with the issues and offer a software update or something… or may RIM will have it fixed before August (this sounds like the 8830 launch delayed story from last year) anyways don't panic just yet.
