I am glad the models are being upgraded at a faster rate. Thank you IPhone for forcing the Blackberry World to step up their game.

I do not think we have iPhone to thank for the faster phone releases. RIM decided to go after the consumer market way before the first iPhone.

Their stock has gone up near $10 a share, just today!

the 9000 has been in the works since last year, its not really a fast release. If anything it had been pushed back several times (along with 4.5 OS)

pushing back can be a good thing... and i think in this case it was a good thing...

[Sith_Apprentice]

yep i agree. Its better it works than doesnt. Also, i wont call the thing the Bold... its always going to be the 9000 to me.

[ezrunner]

I am gonna call it nine thousand

[Cory Scheuer]

i'm iffy on the name... not sure which one i will be using... probably call it the BB 9000 bold or something like that

B3 (B Cubed) as it were. It has really grown on me and the overall design and layout is great. I look forward to owning one as soon as it hits.
