Just out of curiousity, I've been researching the bold from the moment I heard word of it and want one pretty badly.

But I'm pretty rough on my phones and don't baby them what so ever so I'd like to pay less than 700 bucks for it if at all possible. It goes to the gym with me as an mp3 player, it sits in class with me, goes to work with me, the bar, the boat... everywhere and because of that it takes a lickin. (no complaints though that's for sure my bb's have been durable as hell)

anyways, how long do I have before I can retail one for 500 and not have to buy from some guy in canada :lol:

First it has to be released in the US. Give that a month. You then have to wait for the initial rush to be over which is another month. Then starts buyers remorse and people changing devices, etc. I would say very late December / January. AT&T may have a good no contract price. I have not seen it yet.

Or just buy it unlocked,tons of people arleady have.

The OP states that they can buy it now and unlocked. They are asking about price and from the US.

I know, there are guys on this site that sell them too... I just don't wanna spend 700 bucks on something especially since joe blow doesn't offer the warranty (unless thats an individual device thing) because I'm pretty rough on my BB's :(

Also upsizin I see you are on T-Mobile, Just an FYI you can use EDGE but will not be able to every use the Bolds 3G on T-Mobile.

from what I understand, t mobile will have 3g soon? Won't the bold work with it then?

T-Mobile choose another frequency and it will NEVER work. EDGE will be fine.

Dang TMO they would choose a different signal frequency!

You are just jealous we are rocking the 1700 MHz spectrum.
