More news is trickling down about the BlackBerry Bold and Thunder. Rumor has it the BlackBerry Bold might be running late on some networks. BGR heard from two sources that the Bold may be pushed back until September due to a few small software issues with roaming and seraching, etc. Next up is the highly anticipated BlackBerry Thunder for Verizon. RIM might be starting a huge marketing push for the Thunder come September with an official launch around mid-October. So let's hope they get a move on with both devices!!
