Ok let me start this off with NO we don't have any official news on this. However wouldn't it make sense for RIM to release a CDMA Javelin? Just think the Curve is the latest BlackBerry CDMA smartphone and next up will be the Thunder which some people will love and some will hate. What about the QWERTY keyboard people? They need love too…
This got me wondering this morning will RIM launch a CDMA Bold or Javelin after the Thunder?
(In case you don't know what CDMA is it's the technology that Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular, TELUS and Bell all use.)

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!!

Rogers must have felt the pain when 50,000+ Canadian's signed a petition against their iPhone data pricing. Well Rogers today announced special launch promotions for the iPhone. Select Rogers Plus stores will be opening at 8AM to offer the iPhone, but the best part out of all of this news…. Rogers will be offering a special data plan for the iPhone up until August 31, 2008.
The special data plan will be $30 a month and will offer 6GB of data! yes that's right 6GB. That's a whole lot of browsing. Now the best part is apparently this offer will be offered to 3G smartphones inlcuding the upcoming BlackBerry Bold. Also apparently Fido will be offering this amazing plan as well.
