9800 release event
 

BGR reporting Aug 3rd RIM and AT&T hosting a secret product preview party rumored to be the 9800.
RIM and AT&T send out invite for mystery product, also called BlackBerry 9800 « Boy Genius Report

I think at this event, 9800 will show up

Local Chicago ABS News just reported RIM will debut the new 9800 "Slider" as a direct competitor to the iPhones on Aug. 3rd in New York. Available exclusively on AT&T! :smile:

(y)

The Globe and Mail in Toronto also reported this morning that the touch screen with slider keyboard Blackberry using OS 6 will be unveiled at a RIM event next week and that AT&T will be the first to have it.

Hard to get excited when us Verizon folks still have to wait at least another 6 months. But yay for you Att people.

well.. i'm guessing the wait will be worth it if it's true the storm is getting a whole different OS going for it.

at least 2 BB Bold upgrades coming ?
 

News leaks suggest at least 2 new models:

9800 (Slider) - est launch date TUE 8/3 - NYC event
- larger 3.2" TFT 360x480 screen
- touchscreen
- higher-resolution camera (5 MP)
- more memory (512 MB RAM + 4 GB mem + SD)
- faster CPU/processor
- full UMTS quad-band global 3G

upgrade to current 9700 Bold
- same CPU, memory, camera, 3G, other internals as 9800
- smaller screen (non touch screen)

Will AT&T have free SIM version? I would like to buy 1

God I hope this is true. Wonder how fast the processor is going to be?
