A first look at Visual Voicemail for the BlackBerry Bold

By James on Jan 20, 2009 in AT&T (Cingular), BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, USA.

As you may know Boy Genius never lets you down with the RIM leaks. He is now showing a first look at Visual Voicemail for AT&T’s BlackBerry Bold. AT&T will be introducing OS 4.6.0.219 sometime soon and with this update it should bring RIM’s new Visual Voicemail service with it. With any luck at all maybe RIM will bring this to other devices not just on AT&T. It would be sweet to have on the Storm! Anyways unfortunately he doesn’t have an exact release date but he does say be patient, it may be coming sooner than you think.
