BlackBerry Bold hitting AT&T on October 2?

by Chris Ziegler posted Aug 29th 2008 at 12:55PM

With hope of a summer release fading with the passing of each and every day, Boy Genius Report cites a "pretty solid bit of info" that the BlackBerry Bold is now pegged for launch on AT&T on Thursday, October 2. So if you see a throng of three-piece suits starting to gather around your local store around September 28 or 29, yeah, that's probably why.

Wow... October???!!! My decision was going to be easy if it came out in August or even Sept (like it was supposed to) but now that it is October, I might wait just a few weeks more and see what the Storm (aka Thunder) is like since that is supposed to come out in Oct too. My contract is up so I am free to go to whichever carrier I want.

A local store in NYC has them in stock. Wireless Warehouse on 54th Street and Lexington Avenue. Price is $1200 but the best thing is that they have them in stock and they are brand new. They have over 40 units in stock. All unlocked and ready to go. Dial +1.212.583.9100 and Ask for Ben or BJ. All the very best. I got one and got treated like a King at the store. These guys are the best. They had a line of people just buying up the Bold's. They helped me transfer all my data and sync all my email accounts.

Shame on AT&T! BB Bold was released much earlier by T-Mobile in Germany! They even have an option to buy it without a contract, for the full price. But BE AWARE, this suckers leave the buyers no right to return the phone withing 2 weeks and get whole price refunded!!! This is quite nonsense! T-Mobile really sucks if they use such customers unfriendly politics.

As to blackberry generally, I wish there were more freeware apps for Bold.
http://www.blackberryfreeware.org/ is a good start but we need more cool apps, which use GPS, WiFi etc!

Was just told by my local ATT/Spring Mobile store rep that the Bold would arrive on Nov. 4th. They had me give them my contact details for some pre-order business that may occur closer to the date.
