Is blackberry releasing a new device anytime soon?

Question

I am eligible for an upgrade now through Verizon and am looking at the blackberry curve. However I am told that blackberry could be releasing new phones in the next month or so. I don't want to get one now and wish I had waited if a month from now something better comes out. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

BlackBerry has 2 new releases in the works.  The first is the BlackBerry Bold, which I believe has already been released in Europe, will be released in Canada this week thru Rogers, and will be released in the U.S. in September or October thru AT&T (release dates continue to be pushed back).  A reviewer at Crackberry.com was able to purchase an unlocked Bold thru ebay before the auction was pulled and he paid $828.00USD for the phone.

The second is the BlackBerry Thunder which will be BlackBerry's first  touch screen device and will compete with the iPhone.  Verizon will carry the Thunder, with an anticipated release date of mid-October according to BlackBerrynews.com.  Haven't seen a suggested price point yet.
