LOL!

I will call it myPhone. As soon as T-Mo decides to make it part of the lineup :o)

Actually, let's not.

i will be using - bold touch, storm 3 and slider :)

I'm relieved we're not talking about a 6600 line. I'm also relieved Ballsillie never got his hands on the Penguins.

I think I want the fiddy, but I want to SAY I want the Gretzky!

why dont you go with something more modern, like the Jeter??? Gretzky hasnt been relevant for 10 years.....yea...better change the name so the haters dont say the same thing about the BB

Please just stick to Bold Touch. I beg of you.

9900=Azeem to me now. If you watch a lot of movies, you will catch the reference...

Boooooooooooring to be honest :p

Hope they fixed the SMS problem like on the bold 9780. If the msg thread is too long, it's so irritating to scroll down and down and down before u reach the last msg.

So is the white one his Oilers jersey and the Black his Kings jersey?

Based on all of this reasoning, I would call it "To Much Time On My Hands". But I'm a team player, the Gretzky it is.

LAME

How about the "Ghost" since nobody has seen it at VZW

For me, I call them the
Bold ninty nine and nintey nine thirty.(Said as one sentance or just the new bold)
Torch ninty eight ten or torch 2
Ninty eight sixty(cause it sounds better than ninty eight fifty)

You want to name a potential flop after one of the greatest hockey players of our time?! This phone is NOT that exciting. Please don't try and put this phone on a pedestal when Blackberry isn't exactly the most sought after smart phone right now...

You guys have WAY too much time on your hands!!!!!

Just curious...if you hold the "Gretzky" upside down does it turn into a "Lemieux"?

Selflessly and courageously leading RIM into battle against the oppressive mobiles companies of our time

I'm all for nicknames... those ones just aren't good at all.

I like the Great One...it's got a ring to it! No pun(s) intended :p

The GRETZKY is a perfect name, (next to MESSIER IMO LOL) and i like how yous guys are calling the others by the last 2 numbers. The TEN and even better, the FIDDY! LMAO!! Personally, im calling the 9860 the SIX-0!

Lets go RAN-GERS!!!!

good points all above. i didn't know where else to post the following, but thought this was a good spot. from the article above i quickly did a search on images of the 3 new torches because i couldn't remember what all of them where and what they looked like. in doing my search, i found images of them and a good write up...write up is at
http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/03/blackberry-torch-9810-torch-98509860-unvei... the article is good because it discusses how much distribution RIM will be doing with these new phones.

anyway, i know i get frustrated at RIM most of the time because i can't understand why they can't produce way better phones more quickly. however, i like my bb enough that i can deal with it until the next great phone comes out from them. i still have the tour/bold from the beginning it came out so it is now almost 2 years old. totally so due for an upgrade but yet i have delt with it because i like the bb product way too much. however, the article really focuses on spreading standard great phones that will have amazing distribution throughout the world. rim is thinking very big and trying to really put their efforts into spreading the product and brand now which will help them much better in the long run and us bb users. once they get to where they want to be, we will all get more better phones much more frequently. but until then, we need to be patient with them.

I like The Gretzky and I like the fiddy-sixty except I feel it should be pronounced just as Jospeh said it in the podcast- fiddysiddy. Just for the flow purposes. As for the "ten"- I can't go there. It's by no means a "10" to me so Torch Reloaded or something else.

These nicknames have absolutely no international appeal (at least in my opinion). In the UK I doubt anyone has ever really heard of Gretzky, and there are no CDMA versions either so the sixty part isn't required here.

Gretzky is pretty appropriate. Old, outdated, too old to be relevant, but still cool enough to remember the glory days even though there are faster, stronger, better players out now.

*LOL* nice idea.... it seems to be an actual want for americans to give nearly everything a nickname or an abbreviation... Thereby america is so unbelieveable roomily, that whole names would have enough place... but I understand, that the likewise unbelieveable national dept forces to cut low the names...:-D
Bold will be always "Bold" and is my synonymic for RIM flagship.... And Torch was my "Dream-comes-true" (combination of big-sized touchscreen with physical keyboard).... The 9810 (Ten) will become the "Tiny Ten" for me cause of its ugly can/tin surface... And the TinyTen-Designer will get TTT (Triple T)... TinyTorchTurncoat.... in reality they are employees of apple with the mission to destroy the market chance of the iPhone-Killer #1!
:-D

The Bold Way Overdue

I'll leave the "Gretzky" to hockey fans. I'm going to refer to the 9900 and 9930 as the "ninty-nines" (99's).

I like the "fiddy-siddy".

The "ten" is ok, I guess.

Once GREAT.......but old and tired now. Please RIM don't force me to go to the other side.

ok, so i'm calling the new bolds the "executive" the full screen touch the "traveler" and the torch 2 ....you guessed it, "torch 2"

I choose:
- Bold 9900 = Bold Zero (They reinvented the Bold)
- Bold 9930 = Bold Three
- Torch 9810 = Torch Two (no need to explain)
- Torch 9850 = Torch Fiddy
- Torch 9860 = Torch Sith

:D

I just call them all "the a year late phones". LOL

I just call it the T-Bold. I'm not a Gretzky fan, more of a Bertuzzi kinda hockey fan.

The Gretzky is appropriate because after his playing career he took on something different and failed to measure up to his peers. He was then banished from the ownership group, fading away from the public eye. He became old and irrelevant, remembered only for his past accomplishments... just like BlackBerry.

I just call all of them "Damn-You-Bell-For-Not-Buying-The-CDMA-Versions-Of-These-Wicked-Awesome-New-Devices"....ya its a little long so i was just thinking of just simply the 'I-Wish'

Then RIM should rename it the 9911. The Great One never won never won without a Mess!!

Why not NickName these devices based upon performance.

My Storm2 became the Drip2.
If RIM remains consistent to their under-whelming designs:

The Torch should be known as the Flicker2.
The Bold, becomes the Timid 2.8" Postage Stamp Screen

The ending of the podcast was hilarious. They cut you off but you had the last word Kevin! lmao

phenomenal ideas, especially with the Torches. the Bolds could just be "Bold3" and "Bold3-3" though, a la "Bold2" 9700....which was a pseudo-Bold , IMO. I hope the Bold3 has the same magic that the 9000 had when it first released (good times on August 19th, 2008).

Keep it simple.

Bold 9900.

Done.

How about a more accurate name..."The Chapter 11"
