Bold delayed until mid-August?

According to BGR, the Bold will not launch on AT&T until mid-August. Apparently, RIM is running into software issues causing poor battery life and overheating, and therefore, the device has not been certified by AT&T yet. This of course, has not been confirmed by either company, but lets face it, BGR's word is nearly as good an official RIM press release. No mention of this affecting other carriers or not, but if it's only AT&T having issues we wonder how long that exclusivity is going to last?
