The idiots who run the Futuretronics store at the Fashion Show Mall here in Vegas are complete dicks. They sell products at three times MSRP, and have an attitude to match.

Their prey: Unsuspecting foreign tourists who buy their overpriced crap only to find out after they get back home that they have no warrantee and there is no return policy.

And at Vodafone in Germany you can get the Bold for 580€ (about $830) without a contract. And I thought Germany usually was more expensive…

I’m sorry did that just say $1,300?
Was that followed by “being sold out?”

$1,300???

So I might just start shipping them in from overseas and sitting on the NYSE steps and open a booth…

A local store in NYC has them in stock. Prices are the same but the best thing is that they have them in stock and they are brand new. They have over 40 units in stock. All unlocked and ready to go. Dial +1.212.583.9100 and Ask for Ben or BJ. All the very best.

No, you just THINK you fixed it…the link still goes to the OWA.

Sam I can still get to the OWA page through the BBC link.

We are aware of the technical mistake regarding the link and it has been rectified.

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

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!

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*

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.

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