04 Oct 08 BlackBerry Bold to Arrive from AT&T Sometime… Unless it Doesn’t!
We have some good news and some bad news for all Americans that plan to get a BlackBerry Bold. The bad news is that AT&T is delaying again the official launch. The good news is that you can get it from Canada, Chile and various countries from Europe.
Mike Lazaridis, who is only RIM’s CEO, said that AT&T is testing the Bold to ensure that it’s sub-par 3G network can support it. And it looks like Apple’s phone is to blame:
There’s great scrutiny, as you might know, on that network and a certain device. So I guess everyone wants to be sure on every last test.
AT&T said the Bold is coming this year. Whatever that means. My guess is that they haven’t even turn the Bold on yet.
