Possible launch dates for the BlackBerry Bold 9930, Torch 9850 and Curve 9350 on Sprint???

By Tony Robinson | July 25, 2011

BlackBerry loyalists must be chomping at the bit to get their respective hands on the upcoming line of devices such as the Bold 9930, Torch 9850 and Curve 9350.  The above leaked document reveals possible launch dates via Sprint for the BlackBerry Bold 9930 (Aug 21), Torch 9850 (Aug 21) and the Curve 9350 (Sept 9).  These devices can’t come soon enough as we’ve all been privy to the recent “RIM bashing” as of late to include the lack of any recent devices launched and inferior software on present devices.  RIM can use a serious jump start and here’s hoping these latest devices to be launched (not QNX based) give the BlackBerry faithful a glimmer of hope while RIM sets the stage to launch QNX-based devices (hopefully) in 2012.  Take this with the usual grain of salt as this is only a leaked document.

Official device release dates should be announced in the very near future.  RIM faithful…excited to finally see some new devices with decent specs launched?  Give us a shout with your reaction.
