Tuesday, July 1stBlackBerry Bold due on Rogers later this month?
Research in Motion's BlackBerry Bold smartphone should be available on Rogers Wireless later this month, says a new report. The Canadian carrier should release the device on July 25th, according to claims -- well after a rumored June launch date, but still in advance of the initial American release, now scheduled for August through AT&T. Rogers has yet to specify any prices for the Bold, though it recently revamped its BlackBerry data tiers to fall in line with the iPhone 3G.

iPhone 3G vs BB Bold 3G
It will be interesting to see how well both the iPhone 3G and the Blackberry Bold compete in the Canadian market with consumers in both Enterprise and Personal use. Both devices offer Push Email, WIFI, GPS and both offer HSPA with backwards compatibility with EDGE. The camera resolution is the same but differs in the Bold doesn't require a third party app to record video and it comes with a flash for low light conditions. I'm still opting for the iPhone mainly for it's ease of use with the GUI, features mentioned here and the App Store.
