Coming on the heels of the release of the Rogers BlackBerry Bold 9700, Rogers has cut the prices of the orginal BlackBerry Bold, the BlackBerry Curve 8900, and the BlackBerry Curve 8520. The prices for each are $99.99, $79.99, and $49.99 respectively. A three-year contract is required.
We just heard that the latest (official) AT&T BlackBerry Bold update, BlackBerry OS 4.6.0.508, will be available OTA as a wireless update as well as via BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

Analog only cost $6.99 and you can purchase it here…

It would appear, however, that AT&T not only cut the price of the Bold down to $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate. The price of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has also been reduced, now only $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.
This probably won’t make all those folks who bought a Curve 8900 over the passed two weeks all that happy…
