well let's all remember where we heard this first... it's time/date stamped.... no other mobile/bb related boards have a firm date posted for an 8700 release... we do here now. I guess time will tell if I am correct.
Cd, I think you are correct as I just received an offer in the mail from Rogers for a 7290 or 7100r for $99 and the offer ends November 15. Coincidence, I think not. Unfortunately I canot wait as my thumbwheel is not working properly on my 7280 so I've taken them up on their offer which probably means I would have to pay the full price(600+, just a guess) if I wanted the 8700. However I do recieve a free bluetooth headest so all is well.
The time frames sound better, but has anyone heard any "good" information on pricing. I have seen some WAGs in other threads but nothing that looked like solid info.
I heard a rumour (and its more then likely that) that someone at either at Rogers or RIM forgot or didn't file at the CRTC, or there is a delay with the filing, that could possibly push the release date back towards Christmas. I hope this isn't the case.
Not to sure about the contract details as I wasn't really interested in asking about it at the time. I would imagine that there would be a contract for 2-3 years at the $499 price though.
Had to edit it.
Forever
I am...
