As reported by Fortune, the "iPhone killer" 3G Blackberry could have a delayed launch from June to August.

"Research in Motion (RIMM) is facing a delay with the introduction of its new hotly anticipated 3G BlackBerry phone for AT&T (ATT ). The release of the phone, apparently named Meteor, has been pushed to as late as August, from the planned June launch, say people close to the companies."

As noted by Henry Blodget over at Silicon Alley Insider, "Fortune said the delay has been attributed to call quality, but speculates that this is just a cover story: AT&T doesn't want to hurt the launch of the 3G iPhone." (See related Prediction.)

This is a prediction that the 3G Blackberry will not launch in June, 2008. Bets will be halted on June 24, unless the phone is released earlier. Judgment will be made on July 1st, 2008.
