Bold now $199.99 in Canada, AT&T customers cry
When the BlackBerry Bold first went on sale in Canada it retailed at the outrageous price of $399.99 on a 3-year contract. Despite eventually dropping in price to $299.99, many Canadians still weren’t satisfied with how much they were being asked to pay. Now Best Buy has stepped up the plate and is making an offer that officially nullifies any Bold price-related complaints. From now until November 27, Best Buy will not only be selling the Bold for for $199.99 but they will also be giving away a $50 gift card. That’s hard to argue with, especially since the holidays are coming up and chances are that there’s someone your shopping list who would make a fine future-Bold owner.
How much is the costco price with no contract and can we still get the giftcards? If its that cheap, I might just drive up and get one rather than pay $500 off contract with att. Thanks for the info guys.
I get the sense that AT&T is punishing RIM for giving exclusives to Verizon and T-mo… Maybe punishing’s too strong a word, but don’t they seem less enthusiastic?
thats for 3yrs @ 199.99 att is just 2yrs
i dont know the non-contract price, but i know you can still get the 100 bucks off if you buy it no contract, costco gives you the coupon not the carrier, they dont give a shit. its 100 bucks off with any blackberry purchase at Costco no questions.
hell yeah. sounds like a nice replacement for the curve.
What am I missing here?? I re-read the intro to this blog, and it said until 11/27, Best Buy will be selling it for $199?? Was that a joke?
I have searched best buy and can not find the bold for 199.99. The only thing I could find was
