The main Roger's corp store in downtown Toronto is saying last week of Aug. first week of September. That is more than I could get out of them until now.
They have have promotional flyers for the Bold which they hand out if asked, but no price on them.
At $399 I might wait until Dec. when the price might drop and possible bugs are worked out in real world use.
As noted in a previous post, The Source by Circuit City is selling the Curve at $0.0 on a three year plan. That promotional flyer for the Bold shown above indicates that Rogers is selling it for $200 more. Is Rogers trying to get as much as they can before the new wireless carriers hit the market?
how many of you guys and gals are buying it outright? and how many are considering to sign 3years or HUP 3years for that price? I have a year and a half left on my existing 3 year contract and I was thinking of just buying the phone especially when it's $399 even if you sell your soul.
I'm going to head down to the store now to snap that picture because $899 sounds crazy. Unless our pricing is inaccurate.
I was hoping 3 years / 299
2 years / 399
1 year / 499
no contract 899.00
but oh well, what else can we do, I know we can hold off until december when the prices drop. So for a whopping $451.99 taxes in we can have it by next week.
Surely not 899.00, what does this thing do? I know it's only money for the best yet, I guess. Must be nice to be able to drop that much in a second. I'm sticking with my old 8310 and hope for price drop,way down. Good luck to all.
i just sighned my 3yr contract 2 months ago with a krzr k1 , then i got bored of it verry fast and purchased a curve now i have 900 saved for the bold so i for one will be buying it outright

Lead story in the Globe & Mail Report on Business is about the Bold:
Quote "New Blackberry Expected This Week" "Although both RIM and Rogers declined to offer a specific launch date, analysts say the Bold could be available as early as tomorrow." "RIM expects the Bold to be available in Britain, Germany, Austria, Turkey, Hong Kong, Australia and Chile by the end of the week."
Not sure what this adds to the piece, but there is an article in the Globe and Mail today in the Report on Business that indicates Rogers availablity "as early as tomorrow".
It could be that it'll be available to order by dealers tomorrow so that they receive them for the thursday media announcement.
Who knows how true any of this info is anymore but my contact says that the Thursday Launch will announce a release date of September 12, as the radio is saying. Hopefully not the case.....
