ATT pushed back the BlackBerry 8900 aka Blackberry Meteor’s release date till August intentionally to avoid iPhone ??

Stupid marketing analysis and now we have to wait for more time to check out the new 3G Blackberry, the BlackBerry 8900 aka Blackberry Meteor.

. The unofficial reson for the BlackBerry 8900 and nicknamed the Meteor’s delay for its AT&T release from June to as far as August due to some call quality concerns but it has been confirmed that this has been done intentionally. AT&T is also rumored to be moving the phone’s launch ahead by multiple weeks to avoid timing the 8900’s launch with the release of a 3G-capable iPhone within days of the BlackBerry, negating the full sales impact of either or both devices. The 8900 is already known to back up its 3G access (achieved using the HSDPA standard used by AT&T) with a friendlier home screen and may also include both GPS navigation and Wi-Fi at the same time, outperforming or exceeding the current iPhone in terms of sheer feature set and matching devices such as the Nokia N95.
