That long?
Why not this Wednesday?

No not that long, but keeping a pessimistic view on things makes the wait all the more sweeter when it's early :P

Yeah, and I noticed that RIM FINALLY updated their website to remove the 2-year old Storm 2, older Bolds and Curves. Who'd buy a BB 5 device in August of 2011? I suppose if you're in the third world with poor 3G network coverage.

You do realize that most 'third world' countries have better coverage then we do in North America, right?

hmm wonder if i called up rogers they would confirm its in their system or even place the HUP for me?!?!

 
 
Posted by mizmellyjelly Sunday, Aug 07, 2011 289 days ago

Nope because they don't even have it in their inventory stock yet. Can't do a HUP with no phone.

And we're still waiting for Verizon to say anything about the new BBs. Sure, Verizon, I'd love to buy a Storm 2 for $200.....Idiots.

I have had mixed answers. Do any of the new OS 7 blackberry's have wifi hotspot capability?

My local store was able to pull up my HUP pricing on Friday.

I didn't know Rogers had changed their HUP eligibility again. I'm on the fence right now whether HUP pricing is worth the $60 in savings, especially if a new OS comes out to the market in less than 2 years.

Yesterday a Rogers guy showed me the blackberry 7's on his Rogers website saying... Effective date. For august 5th which was yesterday that makes no sense

have we been able to see how much these upgrade rates are? my work phone is due for an upgrade next spring but thinking i might want to eat the early upgrade cost for the "Gretzky"

the wait killing me

 
 
Posted by BeBold88 Saturday, Aug 06, 2011 289 days ago

what about MTS?? has anyone herd from them??

 
 
Posted by SharpieFiend Saturday, Aug 06, 2011 289 days ago

I'm curious about something... Why does the 9810 appear twice?

 
 
Posted by barrist Saturday, Aug 06, 2011 289 days ago

There's a white version

 
 
Posted by Tariq.H Saturday, Aug 06, 2011 289 days ago

rogers also has a long history in ripping off canadians in canada and that hasn't changed as well... 250 for the bold on a contract? really?

 
 
Posted by Yuong Saturday, Aug 06, 2011 289 days ago

its not even the price points that really sucks... its the 30months for HUP now!

 
 
Posted by mohawk rcer Saturday, Aug 06, 2011 289 days ago

yea boo rogers,lets go bell :-)

Well previous blackberry's were always in the $200+ range when first launched. Then the prices eventually dropped in the next month or two. I'm not surprised with the prices at all.

Just don't be a sucker and buy it on launch day. If you have to be one of those that just HAS to be one of the first to own it, then realize you're basically paying for the difference.
