    $1,500? so that means 10 people will be suckered into over-paying for a Bold with a yellow leather-bound battery cover and yellow numerical keys? LOL.

    Unbelievable. $1500 to be unique, but there will be a thousand copies out there by the end of the month.

    Typical over-priced crap from Selfridges, a store where if you have more money than common sense you will be happy there. Similar to those utterly ridiculous Vertu phones that cost a few few grand because they are made out of diamonds, leather or some fancy metal...funnily enough Vertu phones are nokias underneath all that bling.

    No doubt there will be cheap knock offs of that...id rather send my bold to colorware and get them to do a unique color job on my Bold.

    That yellow leather is going to get dirty so fast, and then the owner is going to slap a case on it and it will look like a regular Bold.

    Give it a few months and people will make keypads and have yellow backings, all seperate so that people can buy the parts and install them, themselves.

    You did get VIP support with it for your �1000, which for some people is worth a **** of a lot more than anything.

    I actually liked it and it is only double what a SIM free Bold costs in the UK.

    People pay to be individual. Think about what we've just said with colourware. Once you add that cost to the original purchase price you arent far off.
