We’ve got a bunch of tips on this so we’re going to run with it. Just a word of caution? We haven’t confirmed this ourselves yet, but we have ever reason to believe our ever-faithful tipsters. If they are correct, various Best Buy locations have already started receiving shipments of AT&T BlackBerry Bolds and they are allowed to start selling them tomorrow. We even heard demo models are out on the floor at some stores. Now for pricing… We’re told the Bolds are going for $349 with a 2-year agreement at Best Buy (?) and that the full retail pricing is $679.99. Some stores will only sell them at no-commitment pricing it seems. If you’re in the tri-state area, chances are you’re feeling some pretty heavy winds, but that’s not going to hold you back from setting up shop at your local Best Buy and braving it out until the morning is it?

Thanks, to everyone who hit us up!

    350 is a bit pricier than 300, I can wait a couple of days if they don’t plan on giving a loyal customer a discount…
    But, still good news…thanks BGR..

    this is pathetic and if they put the storm out at this cost, they are nuts! this is not competitive pricing, this is extremely costly.

    Isn’t the Fuze suppose to come out at the same time as the Bold? Think they’ll have those in stock too?

    Just came back from bestbuy and YES they were open after midnight, but it was only for Guitar Hero. I asked the manager there if they had it in stock and she said she didn’t know. I asked if I could go to the cell phone dept. to see if they had a demo of it there and she wouldn’t let me. Anyway, the vibe that I got from her was that she really didn’t know. So I’ll be there tomorrow morning when they open. Hopefully they’ll have it. Thanks for the info BGR!

    @SSM and Latin

    Ive had reports from people that they were able to buy the Touch Pro (Fuze for ATT) for Sprint today. There was nothing stating it on their website.

    As far as the Bold is concernered, I wonder if they will allow those %10/12 percent off Reward Membership discounts at Best Buy. Plus, another 50 dollar gift card I have… the ending result would be enough not to wait for ATT, lol.

    @The Boy Genius Yep, I know, I work for AT&T.

    @The Boy Genius some users who got them from the Bold release party have stated that the AT&T branded one doesn’t allow for 2g/3g only modes, wonder how true it is or how much user error went into that statement.
