I would file this is the rumor column for now but the dates make sense. The BoyGenius got a tip that T-Mobile has a tentative launch date of November 11th for the BlackBerry 9700 Bold. He claims that AT&T will probably also be getting it around the same date with Rogers getting it in late October. Here is to hoping it comes sooner rather than later! Especially for those T-Mobile fanboys who have been missing 3G for all these years.
In lighter news Ryan from Negri Electronics scored some fun eye candy of some upcoming prototypes that we have grown to love in the past few months. How about we play name the prototype? 🙂
UPDATE: RIM kindly asked that we take down the pictures of their prototypes

This device will be a very exciting device if T-Mobile has the leathery battery door. I am sure many people would want to upgrade due to the strong reciprocation when typing.

Looks great, I wish ATT would take my 9000 back in trade!

Damn it RIM, tell us already when is the official launch ?!? Why in the world would they want to keep it a secret and kill us in silence??? Look at Nokia, they officially let everyone in on their future products why can’t RIM do the same???
DO U REALLY WANT US TO BEG ???????
Super sigh..

Some nut job is selling the prototype of the 9700 (unlocked) on ebay at US1600++ already… If you ask me, it’s senseless murder…
