I did a Google search this morning looking to see if Sprint was any closer on coming out with the new BlackBerry Bold. My search was blackberry bold sprint and the first two results were from infosyncworld. They showed that the AT&T version was released in November of 2008 (we already knew that), but show that Sprint, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile are to release the RIM BlackBerry Bold 9000 in May this year.
At first I find myself wanting to believe the release date, but I checked a few more of my Google results and intomobile.com has BlackBerry Bold From Sprint Coming in First Quarter of 2009. The problem with that is today is March 23, 2009, so I don’t see that happening in the next week. Even cnet news reported back in early January BlackBerry Bold rumored for Sprint.
I have become very frustrated walking into a Sprint store or calling the 800 number asking the employees about what new phones are coming out and the two standard responses I get are:
“I don’t know, check online” and “we are the last to find-out”
Now that is customer service at its best!
If anyone knows of a different release date please post a comment below. Thanks.
