Ahead of any official announcement from Verizon Wireless, a video of the new BlackBerry Bold 9930 which has been called the BlackBerry Bold Touch appeared on YouTube. Now BlackBerry-addicts will be able to use the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. Although no official release date has been set yet, many suspect this Thursday July 28 or later.
The video calls it a sleek work horse of a smartphone with 4G LTE. According to the wording of the video it should also be a world global smartphone.

The BlackBerry Bold 9930 documents were filed with the FCC two weeks ago. Smartphones are usually released within a month or so of FCC filings. We suspect the next line of BlackBerry smartphones will have August release dates.
The next generation of BlackBerry smartphones are the BlackBerry Torch 9850, aka the BlackBerry Torch 2, BlackBerry Bold 9790 Bellagio and a new BlackBerry Curve.
