RIM BLACKBERRY 'BOLD'

ok, i bet you've all noticed that i've been posting every possible picture of the recently dubbed BlackBerry 'Bold'. i received news today that it was given that title to the public today. the phone will be 3G, will feature Wi-Fi, GPS, 1GB of internal memory, 16GB of possible/explandible memory, 2mp w/ 5x Zoom Camera, a beautiful screen and keyboard, and much, much more. the back of the phone features a removable/changeable leather backing so that different colors can be put onto the back. the phone is somewhat iPhone-esque and i believe RIM brought a former iPhone designer on board for the design of the phone. many are also saying that everyone who was disappointed by the iPhone and everything that sucked about the iPhone(which i do mean everyone) will be made up by the 'Bold'. will i can almost guarantee 99.9% sure that this phone will release on AT&T first. i've read about 20 reviews on this phone and watches about 10 videos of someone using the phone and let me tell you that this is going to be the break-through phone. there are way too many cool little features to list. this phone should have had the hype that the iPhone had because this one won't disappoint - mark my words. remember where you heard this statement first - 'this phone is going to be king of '08'.
