RIM says AT&T’s Bold still in testing…

By James on Oct 04, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, USA.

A post popped up yesterday quoting RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis saying that AT&T is still internally testing their 3G BlackBerry Bold 9000 and that it should be ready later this year. Orginally the BlackBerry Bold was suppose to launch on AT&T back in May, however may delays due to issues with signal and battery delayed it. The Bold has made apparences all around the world including now in Canada.

“There’s great scrutiny, as you might know, on that network and a certain device. So I guess everyone wants to be sure on every last test,” said RIM’s co-CEO. So with any luck you guys in the United States should be able to pick up a Bold for at least Christmas (hopefully before).

AT&T: Why iPhone is better than Storm

By James on Sep 24, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Other Devices, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

AT&T must be feeling a little heat from Verizon’s announcement of the first touch screen BlackBerry “Storm”. AT&T has released an internal document that outlines what the iPhone does that the Storm doesn’t. Here’s why they say the iPhone is so much better than the Storm:

- The iPhone uses multi-touch technology / Storm uses haptic feedback technology
- iPhone was Wi-Fi / Storm doesn’t
- iPhone has an app store / Storm doesn’t (maybe coming soon?)
- iPhone syncs with iTunes / Storm will be able too but not as well?
- iPhone users Safari for browsing / Storm uses RIM’s browser
- iPhone is GSM/3G / Storm is CDMA/GSM/Dual band HSDPA

AT&T’s BlackBerry Bold delayed until November?

By James on Sep 18, 2008 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, USA.

Honestly I really hope not, but the latest report in from a leaked AT&T document shows the BlackBerry Bold ETA is November now. Other news from AT&T on this report shows the new dark blue Curve 8320 will be launching on October 21st, Pink Pearl launches October 2nd, and the Burnt Orange model has be delayed until 2009.

I should point out as well that Boy Genius clearly says he is sticking firm to the October 2nd release date. So Keep checking back for the latest BlackBerry Bold in the United States updates…

BlackBerry Bold delayed for AT&T until August (Don’t shoot the messneger)

By James on Jun 25, 2008 in BlackBerry.

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.
