AT&T launches BlackBerry Bold promotional site

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 12th 2008 at 11:00AM

See that image above? Yeah, that's a sexy new side angle of RIM's BlackBerry Bold, and it's coming to us courtesy of AT&T. Just as Sprint did with its fashionable Instinct, AT&T is launching a promotional site for the forthcoming BlackBerry in order to drum up interest and get you (re)informed. Straight from the carrier's mouth, we've got GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSDPA support, integrated WiFi / GPS, 480 x 320 resolution display, a side-loaded memory slot, 1GB of built-in storage, a 624MHz CPU, 128MB of Flash memory, Bluetooth 2.0 with handsfree support and up to 5-hours of GSM talk time (13 days in standby). You'll notice that the operator makes no mention of an exact release date, but we're crossing our fingers and sticking to that leaked July timeframe until we hear otherwise.

[Thanks, Daryl]

When the hell is this coming to Verizon? My new every two is up in August and it would be dumb to get the Curve with this and the Thunder on the near horizon.

Does the web browser suck? Will it be a pain in the arse to get Opera Mini to work?

How lame - the promotional site only displays correctly in IE, not in Firefox!

I opened it both in IE and Firefox 2.0 and it renders exactly the same way.

I think the Bold will be an AT&T "Exclusive" but BB will come out with other similar models by the Fall to get around that.

I wish Apple would take a page from that play book here in the states!

well if i were to switch from winmo to bb, this would definitely be the phone. if the thunder has the same specs (only touch screen), at&t and vzw are going to have a pretty big battle on their hands.
