That would be the hope yes. It was pushed back to Aug 4 for Tmo Germany, might be pushed back here as well.

there is a new cell entering the market to compete against the bb, its the Velocity Mobile 103, which is similar to the htc diamond. And the Velocity Mobile 111 which will compete against the BB Bold/Curve. It will run on WM 6.1 Pro.

Um, yay? There are literally dozens of competing smart phones out there. BB still holds the number 1 spot in the US, and Worldwide.

Sorry Ray, but your credibility regarding the July 25th release date just took a pretty steep dive with your announcement that this cheap looking blackjack clone is any serious competition to RIM.

Can you elaborate on your sources perhaps?

I hope those models are bigger than actual size, or that's one huge phone.

[raynicolini]

The phone is similar in size to the 8800 series, but it is tapered on the sides to give it a more comfortable feel in hands

[raynicolini]

I am not saying that Velocity Mobile has any chance in hell, I am a true BB user since 2003

[raynicolini]

My head is turning in every direction, al we can do is wait until its here

Rogers Blackberry Bold Canadian Release Date « Cell Canada

We just received an update on the Rogers release date for the Blackberry Bold in Canada. As we discussed in our earlier post on the Bold, Apple Iphone Vs. Blackberry Bold, the Bold is expected to be a strong competitor in the smartphone space, especially for customers with a need for heavy email and BES integration.

For all of you waiting for the Bold, our moles inside Rogers have told us that it will launch in Canada on August 6th. I’m sure we will see marketing and promotion in advance of the 6th.

For you Blackberry fans, rest your thumbs…

[raynicolini]

The Bold's release date has been postponed until Aug. It will not be coming on July 25. I called them today and they said they would have to release pricing atleast 2 weeks prior to the products release. Sorry to burst your bubble everybody. It hurts me as much as it hurts all of you too.

[Spawneh]

I for one enjoy the hype build up for the release of this device /shoves the 3g IPhone hype out the door... I cant wait for this to be available..

[raynicolini]

All I am saying is that anything can happen and its out of our hands, all we can do is play with our older BB's until the Bold is here.

[raynicolini]

new rumor as per j sanders is that rogers is getting it on July 9.

who knows

[Sith_Apprentice]

BlackBerryNews.com is July 29.

[bigwillokc]

So if I get a Bold from a Rogers customer in Canada, will it just need to be unlocked to work on AT&T, or do they use different frequencies? Will the 3G work as well?

[raynicolini]

Billwinkle, if you want I will sell you mine when it comes out $850.00

[bigwillokc]

I will go no higher than $750

[raynicolini]

it would be nice if they can start leaking the 3yr contract price. Rogers is blowing away the pearl $0.00 on a 3yr and Curve $149.00 on a 3 yr. I guess they are trying to clear up older stock before the Jesus "BOLD" arrives
