BlackBerry Bold coming to North America…only for AT&T?

Posted by Mauricio on Aug 15, 2008 at 9:47 AM | Comments

According to the Associated Press, AT&T will be the exclusive carrier to the new BlackBerry Bold. This will not be good news to a lot of people who have been waiting for the Bold to come to their carrier. After reading that the Bold will possibly be released to other carriers after AT&T’s exclusive launch, this is a big disappointment.

But hey, I guess that’s why they call those rumors right?

According to T-Mobile Germany, the cost of the Bold without a service plan is roughly $680.00. The Bold with a service plan comes to about $190.00. AT&T had no comment as to the planned release date for the Bold, but others like Peter Misek or Deepak Chopra think it will be released in mid-September.

I have had my hands on the Blackberry Bold and it fits nicely into the hand. I think you will all find it a lot thinner then it looks in the photos, I work for vodafone myself and have been holding out for a new smart photo, Form me it was between the Samsung i900 and the Bold. We got the i90o the other day and as good as it looks and its spec kida matches the bold. The Windows OS and slowed it rite down. Yes the i900 has the 5mp camera but you can only open the cam applications once everything else is shut down otherwise it does not have enough system memory. As always Windows Mobile's ways of making it hard to shut down applications have spoilt i good looking high spec device. The blackberry bold has the capability to open and edit Microsoft Documents while running the BB OS that we all know it quick. BB virgins should not be put off by using a different OS as this is fantastic and after a few days you will never go back. The Bold should be in Vodafone stores on 4th September.
For people in USA and Canada whom want to buy it now.it is available online too have seen a deal on
