* Update from Kevin: I'm IN LOVE WITH THIS PHONE!!!!!!!! THANKS ROGERS!!!! *
Well it looks like the chaos has officially begun. Some forums members are reporting that they have tracked down the BlackBerry Bold 9900 at various Rogers locations. Not all stores have the device available, as the ones we contacted ranged from "We have them but can't sell until Thursday" to "Sorry but we don't have them in stock yet". It seems the wires may be a bit crossed as to just when the device is supposed to go on sale. Kevin actually tracked down a store with some stock and subsequently bought out all of the remaining devices.
So what's your story? Have you been able to locate a Bold 9900 to call your own? Drop a comment letting us know if you tried your luck, then hit the forums for more.
