Rumor has it that the BlackBerry Bold will finally make it’s debut in the United States launching on AT&T September 12th with a price tag of $299. This is based on a tips from store employees.
Most rumors had it coming out in the first half of the month so this sounds about right. I guessed that the AT&T BlackBerry Bold would costs 300 bucks although I had hoped that they would stick a $199 price tag on it to remove the objection that the iPhone is cheaper.
I still think that it will sell like mad to business users and existing BlackBerry users and even do pretty well with new consumers. You just can’t beat texting with a physical keyboard.
Let’s hope that RIM beats Apple to the punch with a BlackBerry Slider.

This blog is littered with misuse of the word “it’s” to the point of it being distracting.
PLEASE check the usage of “its” versus “it’s”

BoyGenius is saying OCT 12th. But didn’t say what year!!!lol hey at this point, iPhone has done so much damage, they might as well wait till the fourth quarter. I know analysts are taking their shots at RIM on this FUBAR. Maybe this will be the BEST phone, but i still like the one that is packaged in a Curve style body better.

I want the phone, just not the network. 1 Gig of memory on board is a nice addition…won’t have to worry about those memory leaks anymore. Guess I’ll be waiting until it hits VZW. Wake me up when it does…

I only want the bigger iPhone screen and the robustness of Blackberry email but no Verizon. Anybody making phones listening?

Well I think this new Blackberry souns great, and I love att. Price tag is what keeps me away. I just got a bberry curve from t mobile for just 50 bucks. I love the curve, but I hate T Mobile.
