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!

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.

If boxes of Bolds are conveniently “falling off trucks”, it can’t be long before a legit release.

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!

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
