Sling player is available for all Blackberry's with wifi, so shouldn't are why it wouldn't work with the Bold-pending few mods of course!

US Consumer Phone Sales Decline 22 Percent In Q1; BlackBerry Enters The Top Five: Report
http://www.moconews.net/entry[....]-in-q1-blackberry-enters-the-/

The shaky economy is starting to show up in U.S. phone sales. In the first quarter, consumer phone sales reached 31 million handsets, falling 22 percent compared to the year-ago period. For the first time, the NPD Group said sales fell between the busy holiday quarter and the first quarter. Despite this, the phones being sold today are higher-end compared to the year ago period, with smartphones comprising 17 percent of all phone sales, a 10 percent increase. Two of the big features being sold are Bluetooth at 79 percent of all phones and music-playing capabilities at 60 percent. The struggling Motorola (NYSE: MOT) maintained its No. 1 position, however, its share fell to 27 percent in the period from 35 percent a year ago. Likely to Apple’s (NSDQ: AAPL) chagrin, for the first time RIM (NSDQ: RIMM) BlackBerry improved its ranking, edging out Sanyo as the fifth-largest manufacturer. Apple didn’t make the list.
Here’s the breakdown:
-- Motorola 27 percent
-- Samsung 18 percent
-- LG (SEO: 066570) 17 percent
-- Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 8 percent
-- RIM BlackBerry 5 percent
Silly Nokia, after making waves of headlines a few months back that they'll considerable offer more phones targeted at the US market, then going back on that statement stating only 1% of their portfolio is going to the US; this'll strengthen RIM's stride, and this'll transcend to Europe & Asia when more business investors have more internation meetings when their economy picks up in the US late this or next year.
RIM is definately becoming more, Bold, shall we say. And I for one LIKE it.
So who's upgrading to the Bold when it debuts? Anyone going to order it unlocked, and import it??

Hi Prom1
That is indeed one of the options i may well consider so if you find one and want to ship it let me know.
I also agree that i now see the potential for Rim expanding in Europe and other Markets especially as they are now taking onboard 3G/HSDPA along with great Multimedia support. Not of course forgetting the Touch Screen device that will be a Voda Exclusive in Europe.
IMO most large corporates are already aware of the class leading security and ease of implementation and IT control. But now Rim BB's will appeal more to all users with there soon be released offerings and i really don't doubt they will take market share in Europe to the only thing I'm not sure of who will lose it to them.
