Howard Chui, best known for HowardForums just got his hands on a beta BlackBerry Bold 9000. He did up a quick review of the features and notes more pictures and a video will be coming soon. You can check it out here.
Something very odd was brought to my attention today. Infosync World posted some details on the BlackBerry Bold including approxment size, pricing and launch details. Apparently the BlackBerry Bold 9000 will launch on AT&T in July 2008 for around $300 w/ contract, T-Mobile will launch in September 2008… Oh plus Verizon and Sprint both in September 2008 for $300 with contract. Honestly that sounds a bit odd to me that they would be launching it so soon as well.
Anyways no word on pricing or launch date for Canada's Rogers Wireless just yet.
RIM is showing off these new colored leather battery doors to go along with their new toy. Apparently this will just be the start of the different battery doors. Obviously customization is another key to RIM's successful consumer targeting for instance take a look at their upcoming BlackBerry Kickstart.

Rogers has just confirmed that they will be launching the BlackBerry Bold in Canada! While they don't announce any launch dates or pricing they simply made a coming soon page. You can asked to be notified when the Bold launches. Visit the Rogers website for details.
Kicking off WES 2008 this morning RIM announced the upcoming release of BlackBerry Bold, also known as BlackBerry 9000. This 3G packing smartphone comes fully equipped with HSDPA, EDGE, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 2.0 megapixel camera. Not only that but the BlackBerry Bold also features 1GB on on-board memory, 128MB of flash memory for content storage (such as phonebook and messages), Media Sync allowing it sync directly with iTunes and its amazing half-VGA (480×320 resolution) color display.
The BlackBerry Bold is expected to hit carriers this summer. Pricing is expected to be fairly high. Check out BlackBerryBold.com or click on over for its full press release. Read More
Other little things to note Kevin also says that the BlackBerry Bold will somehow sync with iTunes via Media Sync. This is huge!! Also to note BlackBerryBold.com will for sure be the official domain of the BlackBerry 9000 series. 
Kevin over at CrackBerry is loving his pre-released BlackBerry Bold (9000) and thought he would share all the final features and specs which we can expect to see with its upcoming launch at WES.
While Kevin over at CrackBerry has been enjoying his BlackBerry 9000 he seems to have learned of a new name for the device. According to CrackBerry and BGR they both are claiming the new name for the device will be "BlackBerry Bold".
After a little bit of research it appears that blackberrybold.com has been registered to someone in Vancouver and not by RIM as of yet. However RIM does own a wide variety of blackberry9000.com domains including blackberry9130.com.
So it's really hard to say what RIM will launch the BlackBerry 9000 as but we should find out real soon…
