Mr. Rumor. Let me introduce you to Mr. Large Grain Of Salt…
Personally I am more afraid of Verizon crippling the device than RIM producing a badly engineered device.

Why are you afraid Luciano? There’s as many “reports” of it being wonderful as there are of it being “terrible”. All the “reports” we’re seeing are full of crap, IMHO.

I’m afraid of the Thunder. Several reports have been flying by that it is riddled with bugs and not ready for prime time. If they rush it through the door, could be a big fiasco.

Thunder seems to be gone from Expansys now.
Holy crap, 550 GB for a Bold, that equals how much in US dollars? Something like $1100!!! WOW.

@Lance:
Yes, it it’s legit that it will be Quad-band GSM, yes, you would be able to buy it and just pop in a USA TMO or ATT SIM card and off you go! It’s hard to imagine that with carriers ruling RIM’s development though, and this device being a supposed Verizon “exclusive” (at least for the 1st 3 months), I can’t imagine Verizon allowing RIM to supply it as Quad…

I Can’t stop Drooling……….If this site is legit, does that mean i’d be able to use the 9500 with T-Mobile USA? I’d honestly rather have this handset than the Bold.
