This is what you said about the previous release dates.

"the reason why it has been pushed back is because of RIM, appearance every single time it has been pushed back has been because of RIM not the carriers..."

And yet two carriers have since released the bold. It's always been the carriers and not RIM.

You didn't post what you've heard. You just said, don't trust retail. That's why I made the initial comment. If you know something then spill.

Why do people complain? We aren't getting any info from Rogers or RIM, so if we can get a rumour from Cory or anybody else why cant we just accept the fact that it is info that they have heard and it may change?

BTW It's a f'n phone!

Don't you think Rogers, from a marketing standpoint, will want more than nine days to promote the Bold before it is released?
Or maybe Rogers and Fido will not promote it much, because it would take too much effort to make room for Bold signs and other promotional material in their stores with all the iphone stuff there now.

You're right. Sorry Cory. I'm just getting so frustrated with Rogers not being able to announce a date.

I stopped posting as I think all of these Rogers agents are liars....

I went to a Mall and the Rogers agent was very rude to me...he said "you will know when we know" without saying anything else...and all I asked was do you know when the BOLD is being released....had a good mine to scream or call Rogers then I said to myself...who is he to me.....ah well....

Anyhow August end is when I think it will be released....there is a place on Rogers website where you can put in your e-mail and once the device is available then they will e-mail you....

I have a feeling I'll HUP, get my phone mailed to me and use it before that email comes.

Forgetting about "the date" for a moment, if the Rogers version were to be initially launched w/o UMA, could this be solved by updating the OS or downloading applications? I know there is a lot of guessing involved here, but some educated opinions would be quite helpful

Thanks!
