Same Chipset?

does this mean that RIM and Apple selected the same "all Band" chipset to make it more cost effective to produce a true world phone?

Could you explain to me how the quality of our network is what's keeping the phone in testing?

I explain for you. Its very simple how well a phone works is somewhat dependent on its network. Hints faster downloads, smoother updates, seamless connection between time, gps, email, internet, etc... But if the software makers are experiencing trouble understand the network overall browsing will suck and make the phone seem to have low value. aT&t 3g signal is very inconsistent and they could be testing the phone for drop calls and slow connection speeds in theory.

I can definetly agree with you about the network being inconsistent, there are times it's snappy, and therd are times I'm better off switching to EDGE.

Well I would think that when AT&T tests the phones that they are done under the best network conditions so I do not buy the argument you are presenting. The facts are that in a rush to get the iPhone to the market they slipped up on the QC and it would be very wise for them not to release another "So Called Must-Have" phone with software and reception problems. I have 3 friends with iPhone's and the upgrade rectified their software and reception issues and they love their phones. I say kudos to AT&T!

While I am in total agreement with you and understand the technical aspects of this, I am not an AT&T guy so my questions proposed are:

Since the Curve has already been in circulation on AT&T, Why is the new RIM device in question?
Was the Curve an issue with AT&T?
If it was, is it the design of the RIM product? or is it AT&T's network?
If it is AT&T's network( which I know there are known issues), why would RIM throw their product into this situation again?

These are real question as I don't know.

I think this is all BS cuz alot of entry level handsets hit release date on time... I'm sure they don't want to divert sales of the iphone until verizon releases the storm then they'll launch it and say "hey, we have a new blackberry too!"
