I think apple is taking a hit on the iphone selling for so cheap. Its like gaming consoles one company will sell it for alot less but still make up for it with accessories and other ways. Its to see how many units (cellphones) they can get out to the cosumers.

I am guessing that the BlackBerry Bold on AT&T will be $299. I would like to see it at $199, however, my gut tells me that AT&T has no intention of making it the same price as the iPhone.

I don’t imagine that the Bold will cost that much in the U.S. simply because RIM needs for this device to do well.

Rogers and Canadian mobile carriers in general are notorius for ridiculously high prices on handsets as well as service fees.

The only reason the iPhone didn’t cost more than it did is because Apple set the price and Rogers had to ahere to it in order to carry it.

If RIM makes everybody in the U.S. wait until next month to get the bold and then charges twice more for it than what the iPhone sells for, they will lose a ton of credibility in my eyes.

There is no reason for it to cost so much and no reason for it come out so late after it has debuted everywhere else.

RIM needs not to bite the hand that feeds it.
