I see Orange have changed the picture next to its phone number, its not a bold anymore.
I nearly bought the Curve on a 12 month contract last night thinking il give it a year then go for what ever BB is out then, but i stood firm and held out haha, though from what I gather its looking more like September boo
This is the first pricing we have seen so it is too early to say which network will have the best contracts although I expect them to be fairly similar.
Orange currently have a 12 month Canary 45 plan for �45 which gives 850 mins and 400 texts and 200 orange - orange mins. The Bold could be placed on 18 month contracts only, who knows. Don't forget a Blackberry Tariff will probably have to be added to this.
We should start to hear more on pricing nearer to the time of release.
I have called Orange four or five times a week for past 6 weeks and many of the people have no information on the Bold or how to deal with customers. A few people have taken the time to investigate and last week I was told that it should be available in the week commencing 11th August (information from recent updates). Today I was told the "official line" from mid July. I responded thats "old information" and the response was "could come any time".
I am out of contract with Orange so will wait until its released. Never had a Blackberry before so I will just have to wait.
well I spoke with Lisa who told me that I can upgrade from the 19th and told me that she will call me back at 9am on the 19th to arrange my upgrade to the bold.
She also said that they have no pricing for the bold as of yet.
Will post on the 19th about the call with Lisa and fingers crossed 20th about my new bold.
I seriously wouldn't hold your breath Ash. The Bold was removed from the coming soon section of the Orange web site a couple of weeks ago, and has yet to return.
Orange had an update yesterday saying that the Bold will be released in the next week. I was told it could be between today or next Wednesday. It does seem that Orange will be the first in UK.
I am out of contract with Orange. I like the iPhone but decided that the Bold was better for me and I think its worth the wait. Will be my first Blackberry.
All very exciting developments, it seems everyone other than orange themselves are sure the launch will be Saturday. I really hope so but then it is weird that it was removed from the coming soon section, unless they had a huge backstock of other models that they wanted to try and move before launching the bold knowing that most ppeople wouild wait on its launch if they knew it was coming .
