I paid $479, and my goodness it was worth all of it! =P

[Serkle K]

$160.49 (including taxes) out the door, and worth every penny!!!

[joygasm310]

I paid $150 for mine, and I think its more than worth it. Beat out the 8320 for best phone I ever owned.

[danny595]

549.99 full price no contract.

[jghoddoussi]

99.99 CAD plus Quebec taxes. Definitely worth it.

[joeybee]

I got mine for $399 back in august two days after it came out on rogers and it is the best phone I've ever had. Wouldn't trade anything for it.

I paid AUD $950 for mine the day they first became available in Australia, however I now have purchased two others (my wife has one and our niece) and both of those are paid off by the plans they are on, zero upfront, probably around AUD $750 over the term of the contract.

[jmr1015]

I paid $399... thru AT&T... still waiting on my $100 mail-in rebate...

After owning the 95XX Storm thru Verizon for $250, for a whole 36 hours, (hated it, returned) The Bold seems pretty worth it so far...

Can't wait til it's OS reaches heights of stability only matched by recent 83XX Curve updates! Hurry up RIM!!! Better OS's now!!!

well worth the money! the opportunities with this device are endless

[StuMcBill]

I got mine for free from O2UK!

Because I am a priority platinum customer! I got it 6 months before my upgrade was actually due!

Paying �40 a month on an 18 month contract for 600 anytime minutes and 1000 texts including BIS and premium insurance!

Mine was FREE My husband won it at his Christmas Party and gave it to me. The prize also came with one month of free service and no contract!!

[garn3r]

�99 the day it came out on O2
No discount on the handset prices even for an O2 employee
It is only �20 per month for 1000 mins unltd sms and unltd blackberry on a 12 month contract though

[reneasha]

Completely legally.

Hehe. Legal huh? Are u from holland? Lol. Jk. I paid $3600 TT for mine...which works out to roughly $571 US. It hurt initially, but the phone has soothed the sore spot in my bank account. I love my BOLD.

Mine was given to me by a charitible organization helping wounded Iraq vets get through school. They paid for the phone, isurance, data plan, and basic phone plan. Before I got my Bold I kept my life managed on post-it notes and on the back of fast food receipts. Even if I hadn't gotten the phone for free, I would've bought one.

Oh, I guess I topped that

[thumper80]

I paid $99.99 CAD and **** yeah it was worth it. I am totally addicted.

Same here lol . it's my first berry and i was a die hard window mobile phone guy i swore i'd never get one......now i'll never go back to a w/m phone again

[K B]

Paid $399 the day it came out from Rogers and never thought about the amount. I am of the mind that if I get exactly what I want, then cost is not an issue for me. And I did get it. And it's not an issue.

I drop this phone and crack it in half - I'm replacing it same day.

I traded a member here a Colorware customized 8310 Curve + $300 for mine. So, I guess I have roughly $500 invested...and it's been worth every penny. I haven't had a device in years that I am so pleased with overall.

[rehab0808]

Got mine on election day November 4th, paid $399 then got $100 rebate. Best PDA/phone ever

[ibcop]

I paid full price for the phone, sold my Q9H on eBay, and got the $100 rebate from AT&T, so in the end, I ended up paying $240 with no contract. I too was a die hard WM device user until I got the Bold - won't use anything else.

[anon(1522652)]

Paid �350 for an unlocked retail model from PCWorld (*cringe*) but it was the cheapest price at the time anywhere. Why? Got sick of waiting for 3 to release it and will be dumping them in June for O2 Simplicity 20

[okgrjba]

I paid $400.00 plus tax with a $100.00 mail in rebate. I absolutely love the phone (although only slightly diff from 8330) but I am questioning whether it was worth the hefty price tag. This however is going to be my last bb meaning I have finally found it all in one phone, and just don't think it could get any better. I had the storm, but was thoroughly disappointed. But...why is this phone so damn expensive?

I paid 199.99 for the storm, was ridiculously disappointed, went back to AT&T and got a great deal for returning. I paid 149.99 for the Bold, and the store gave me silicon skin. I would have paid full retail for it...AMAZING DEVICE

[manicdvln]

I got it free. 3 year contract = 200$ bold - 200 boxing day gift card = 0$.

[Dan177]

I paid 100 pound desposit and then �50 cheap and well worth it!
