That’s according to BGR, which claims that ”multiple sources” have confirmed that the Bold 9900 won’t be launching until September globally. This matches up with Clove’s revelation, which suggested that the next-gen Bold won’t be coming until the end of Q3
Although we were hoping it was all just a rumour, it looks like the BlackBerry Bold 9900 won’t be seeing an imminent release – despite RIM‘s promise of a summer landing. The reasons for the hold up still remain a mystery, although we been in touch with the company for further information.
The so-called Bold Touch is the first of the RIM’s handsets to sport a capacitive screen, coupled alongside a full QWERTY keypad. Measuring in at 2.8-inches, the touchscreen display is also the first to showcase RIM’s all-new BlackBerry OS 7, promising a re-jigged UI, a boosted web browser, and BlackBerry Balance. There’s also a 1.2GHz processor, integrated NFC technology, a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p HD video capture, HSDPA and WiFi speeds, and 8GB of built-in storage with microSD expansion.
