AT&T is still testing the BlackBerry Bold

BlackBerry lovers are still waiting for the Bold in US as rumoured for 2nd October and it’s just getting delayed more and more testing. The reason is that  AT&T is testing if it works with their network and users do not have any problems with this device.

According to RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis, phone is still undergoing the certification process in which AT&T tests all new handsets to make sure they work well on its wireless network. AT&T is testing this device so strictly because customers soon started complaining of slow data downloads and dropped calls on some units with Apple’s iPhone 3G .

Interestingly the delay of BlackBerry Bold in U.S. launch has dipped RIM’s stock by which RIM’s U.S. shares fell $1.04, 1.7%, to close at $60.96 on Friday.
