I could be wrong, but I would've thought that would've been decided upon when they decided to announce it.

nope, that just means they decided to release it at *some* point, not a specific day. could be anything from manufacturing delays to the release of the iPhone 2 that are changing the target release date.

I think they know.. they just dont want us to know that they know.. know what I mean

I seriously doubt either RIM or AT&T are still sitting in meetings "trying" to figure out when to release it... they know darn well when that will be..

It very well could be that even they have not decided on a date.

There is ALOT going into this. The hardware is likely done and yet waiting for the final OS programming which could still be getting tweeked. ATT has got to get it's network ready and even the box/packaging has got to be completed. Until ATT updates it's network the Bold would not even fully funtion!

It looks like everything is a go, and the delays are more marketing than anything.

Looks like July 17th now according to the latest update on this link....jesus....

The later they release the Bold the less time AT&T has an exclusive, which from a business perspective is crazy. They can't be happy about these delays, so chances are they are all working 'round the clock to get this out.

If I were a betting man I would say the release date will be in August.

generally speaking the exclusivity period is anywhere from 60-120 days following the actual release date. so really that equates to that much longer till other carriers get it
