Blackberry Bolds hit New York, sell out
Dear New Yorkers,
It has come to our attention that you lucky bastards are able to purchase pre-release Blackberry Bolds for a mere $1,300 right there in Manhattan. While this price is nothing short of egregious, we’re a little jealous that you can walk to your local mom and pop Blackberry shop and pick one up (sort of). BlackberryBusiness.com is selling pre-release Bolds at a “special offer” of $1,299.99 on their web site. According to Joe at Blackberry Business, who was holding the last one in his hand to make a sale as I spoke with him, “We got five a couple days ago, but we’re all sold out now.” Joe must be happy to have made some big money on pre-release 9000s.
Looks like you’re too late. Tsk tsk. Of note, even though the site shows pictures of an AT&T branded Bold, the ones available were unbranded.
Thanks, Robby!

you can get one on ebay for like 800 bucks…
I already got mine Blackberry bold from TX based Fommy.com 2 weeks back only for $889.
Just when I was about to give up on the blackberry bold you guys release this info, which is also in “my neck of the woods,” it makes me hold on just a bit longer. Although I am a fan of the blackberry, I would not pay 1,300 for this phone. It makes no sense, i’ll just wait till At&t releases it for more than half of the pre-release price.
I mean LESS than half of the pre-release price
I wonder if at&t will still block the bold’s pin if you buy it here. Im being patient but at&t commmoooommnnn ALREADY
Its always better to buy from US base vendor. I returned mine to e-bay they sent refurb with no warranty
Hey BGR, why did you post a link to your exchange mailbox under the “read” link?
1,300? Seriously? That’s more then my entire years worth of Car Insurance. You know who paid 1,300 for that right? NY shitty Hipsters.
zzzzz.sorry to say but lame…no proper firmware to work on 3G, no need to rush…that’s like losing $30 a day for 30 days…
sheh…
Hey new guy, please learn how to use Outlook Web Access!
Noice!
If boxes of Bolds are conveniently “falling off trucks”, it can’t be long before a legit release.
Wow – it really is like Crack.
How do you like it so far??
They sell them at the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, Nevada at a shop called “Futurelectonics” [or something like that] for 1200. Though, it is a Rogers version.
Im thinking that the US/ATT “Blackberry Bold” may be just a myth. Like the Yettie or Chubacabra..perhaps the Lockness Monster.. I think we may see Big Foot before we see the Bold *sigh*
Hey BGR,
I need the User name and Password for Outlook Web Access on your Exchange 2007 server. Just email it to me and I won’t tell anyone. I just want to read the email you want us to read.
Thanks man!
Move to Canada…join Rogers…Bold in my hands for $399…and that’s CDN$ eh!
I have the rogers of the BB bold and it’s a freaking amazing phone. I LOVE IT, but not so much to pay 1300 for it. You may as well wait for the release of it, because if you’re sitting with a Curve or 8800, you can wait a couple more days for it =P
Anyone who spent that much for a blackberry is an idiot. plain and simple
We are aware of the technical mistake regarding the link and it has been rectified.
Sam I can still get to the OWA page through the BBC link.
@Sam Dweck
No, you just THINK you fixed it…the link still goes to the OWA.
Travis, thank you for making us aware of the second link technical error. I will be sure to check on those things in the future.
Oh ya and for the article my comments, already have a Bold k..Thnks..Have fun grabbing it for $1300 and here I thought Rogers was crazy for charging me $400 Flat.
