The majority of launch rumors we’ve heard so far about the BlackBerry Bold 9800 slider have revolved around a North America launch. A new report says it might also be available to UK users on the Vodafone network and maybe even Verizon:
Look deeper and the rumor sounds all the more spicier. Vodafone UK also owns the Verizon Wireless network in the US. A possible launch of Blackberry 9800 Torch Slider on Vodafone in UK could then also possibly hint at a Verizon launch in the US. Now, Verizon is a CDMA network but that should not be much of a worry for this handset.
According to GoRumors the Bold 9800 should be available through Vodafone UK between September and October of this year. No word on a Verizon launch estimate though. As with all rumors, don’t consider anything official until it comes straight from RIM or a wireless network.
Regardless, anyone on Vodafone or Verizon excited about the BlackBerry Bold 9800?
