AT&T BlackBerry Bolds in stock at Best Buy, go on sale tomorrow?
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!

I don’t think they will give 20% off on this like iphone but if they do then $320 won’t be bad.
yea, holy fuck its def 400 in best buy…still a phone im interested in even if it is…but still…slightly more than the 300 we were anticipating..
If its 400, then with the 20% Reward membership, the total is still around 315. You pay a little extra to get it a week early.
I WAS in fact at Best Buy last evening; and saw the Bbold Demo (mock-up) up close and personal. The manager was firm. “The Bolds go up for sale Sunday, 11.02.008 (Maybe midnight of that date. That’s TBA. No pricing was mentioned. But at 349. and change, it is a rip. AT&T is offering them for 299/w service – So wait til the 4th! (BTW, AT&T set my ‘unbranded’ Bold up for FREE. way to go AT&T!) When get my grubby hands on the RIMs 9500, AT&T will be my carrier. Stick that….VeriShun!
No dice at the bb in manchester nh
This is crazy, why would they charge $299 for this phone? As much as I love blackberry, $299 is so not worth it, especially in the current environment. Might as well short RIMM and buy the device from the gains.
I wonder how many people are going to pick this one up after all the delays and the price hike…we’ll see.
It is not in stock and can not be ordered as well. It is NOT released and not available.
… No Bolds in Boston – South Bay, Back Bay, Landmark, Cambridge Side, Salem NH… All out of stock. The associate said they get their trucks (Cambridgeside) on Wednesday. So I guess it’s dependant upon when each stoe gets it’s shipments?
not true at all went to 3 best buys, none had i called another 4 and none had all in nyc. att has fucked up once again
In Addison, IL… about 15 miles outside of Chicago. The girl said that today is their launch day but they dont have any in stock nor will they know when their next shipment is
Ok, here it is… If you go to one of those political rallies ask the candidate:
“What would YOU do about releasing the BlackBerry Bold by the end of your first term?”
$419.00 plus tax at the Best Buy here in Mansfield, TX. And the raping begins. Help me bloggers! Do I get it??
Isn’t it interesting that AT&T is going to charge US customers $300 for the Bold, when T-Mo Germany is offering it at the equivalent of about $165?
Surely AT&T will start selling Bolds now that Best Buy is selling them.
Why would AT&T allow other outlets to sell Bolds at higher prices and prevent their own corporate stores from making the sales? What are the corporate people at AT&T thinking? Something tells me this will get sorted out early next week.
One more wrinkle in the most botched up product release ever!
No Bolds in Atlantic City, NJ location. Was told maybe this Tuesday when they get their shipment.
If i get this bold, will at&t charge me more for 3g like they do on the iphone. on the iphone u pay 10 more a month for 3g
None of the three Best Buys in the Louisville area has a Bold in stock, but dummies are out on display. I hope it feels better in my hand when it is not a dummie. Anyway, an upgrade was going to cost me $359 with a new line price of $299.
anyone know what they are selling it for w/o a plan? as in upgrade your existing Curve to the Bold.
@ joe s
No. You will not get charged an extra $10. The reason why the 2g iphone data went from $20 to $30 is because AT&T was putting the iphone 3g inline with the rest of their pdas and all pdas have data plans at $30
RupertP: I live close to Mansfield TX. They do NOT have them nor did they get any in. So that should help you with our decision as to picking one up or not.
No Bold’s in Boise!
checked all of nyc and new jersey not one single bold in stock for sale at best buy… but… they “have many accessories for this beautifull device”
*i didnt personally go to all the stores. i asked the few i called if they could check all the best buys on there computers to see if anyone had stock.. all are a NO…
No Bolds are being sold at Best Buy today. All the tipsters were wrong, the story was wrong. They do have dummie devices up though
I checked all bestbuys in indianapolis, IN, non in stock…either dummy models or nothing at all.
Guess the 27th is just a dud…
