Earlier this week, UK telecom Orange decided to hold off on the Blackberry Bold for 2 to 3 weeks, due to quality concerns. The company released an internal memo explaining the decision.

"Following reports of software issues with the BlackBerry Bold handset across a variety of mobile operators," it states, "Orange has decided to act in the interest of its customers by suspending shipments of the device in the UK."

The memo doesn't really go into detail on the "issues," instead saying only that it is working with RIM to iron them out. "BlackBerry/RIM are doing everything they can to resolve this issue and will be completing full testing and validation to ensure future handsets do not have any quality issues," it continues. "This may take a couple of weeks so it's up to us to do what's best for our customers."
