Garmin nüvifone which was considered as a rival to the 3G iPhone has been delayed till mid 2009. This leaves lot of room for RIM to tweak the 9500 Thunder to perfection.
"The nuvifone will not be available in fourth quarter as previously announced," said the company in an official statement. "While we had hoped to have carrier launches in the fourth quarter, we have found that meeting some of the carrier specific requirements will take longer than anticipated. We remain pleased with carrier interest in the device and are working toward making necessary design changes to meet their requirements. We anticipate launching the product during the first half of 2009."
Looks like iPhone 3G & Apple can breathe easy & by then maybe we will seeing a 3rd Gen. iPhone.
