Re: Storm

word on the inside is that its suppose to drop and be in stores on the 27th. i have not read an official press release from the death star or RIM yet. RIM is waiting on at&t to give the green light to drop, firmware issues from what i understand. was actually at a bold release party last week and played with a bold for about 30 minutes, overly impressed to say the least. watched bits & peices of the dark knight on it. resolution of screen rivals that of of your highest end lcd's; it has the highest resolution of any cell phone ever produced, not to mention 1gig of on board, plus 4 gig compatibility for sd as well as 3g goodness for simultaneous voice & data. getting arroused thinking about it.

Re: Storm

you forget about having the most powerful processor to ever make into a cell phone...... 625 mhz with mmx

in 1999, I bought a micron PC which was the most exp PC at the time.... 325 Mhz PII with MMX. And that was a desktop.... almost 10 years later and they crammed twice the power into a phone which is the size of the original CPU itself....

gotta love technology

Re: Storm

It's official: BlackBerry Bold hits AT&T on November 4 for $299.99

http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/22/its-official-blackberry-bold-hits-atandt-on-november-4/

The hopes and dreams for a "summer release" have long since faded, but at least AT&T's finally agreed to a hard date for the hotly-anticipated Bold: November 4. The news comes courtesy of the company's earnings call -- not the most obvious place to slip in news this big -- but at least it's coming straight from the horse's mouth.[Thanks, Joe]Update: And the press release just slipped out, too -- $299.99 on a two-year contract. Yikes!

Re: Storm

It reminds me of the MotoQ9h and in a good way. I thought that phone was fantastic but switched phones to go with a much better provider. I'm glad I am finally away from AT&T and their shitty service. Will look forward to the bold come January though.

BlackBerry Bold up for pre-order at Best Buy: $680 smackers

http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/27/blackberry-bold-up-for-pre-order-at-best-buy-680-smackers/

We already knew RIM's BlackBerry Bold would sell for a stiff $299.99 on contract with AT&T, but if you're one of the many AT&T users who'd rather not sign a new agreement (or renew your current one), you've probably been patiently waiting to hear an unsubsidized price. Here is it, but we're warning you, you might want to sit down. The contract-free Bold is listed at $679.99 at Best Buy, and fittingly enough, the product page offers a convenient link for seeking financing. At any rate, it also tells us that pre-orders will typically ship out within one to two weeks, though we'd be hesitant to bet the farm on that. After waiting for, like, ever, for this handset to finally hit shelves, are you still so anxious to drop nearly seven bills to claim one as your own?[Thanks, Christen]

Re: Storm

well, maybe i'm not getting a Bold. no phone is worth $680.

Re: Storm

especially when after a couple of months, after the holidays, it will be about $200.00

**Kamal** · October 28, 2008, 01:47:11 PM

Re: Storm

thats for an unlocked piece..... it'll be $299 with a 2 year contract through ATT

Re: Storm

after contemplating a lot.

im forgoing the bold, waiting for storm.

**palmer** · October 29, 2008, 01:54:20 AM

Re: Storm

What the fuck?! $680? Really?
I mean it's a lot of phone but I cannot justify that....

Anyone heard a price point on the Storm?

Re: Storm

That's unlocked. They're way cheaper with a contract. Git it.
