$299 for upgrade plus taxes, didnt have to pay the $35 admin fee and 3 year contract on voice only no comitment for data. Very happy with the bold its my first blackberry and smart phone.
-.- I honestly don't see how some of you 'lucky' people finally aquire the Bold for free or ~$100 / less.
I paid a straight up $350 and only have regrets of the price of the Bold because I needed the $ for my textbooks.
Gah... It aint fair that AT&T is so greedy and expensive they can suck it.

I see what your saying but I would rather buy my phone straight up from the AT&T store and pay the extra 100 or so rather then deal with eBay or something like letstalk
I got mine Brand New from eBay, no contract for $420.00. I do think it was worth it for the most part. I still miss things from my iPhone everyday though and always think about switching to the new 3GS, but certain things of the BB keep me from switching back. If that makes any sense at all.

I bought it for 200 $ cdn about 10 months ago. It definitely was the best possible choice for me. I was into buying a 8900 at the time(it wasn't available yet) and I was also thinking about the iphone. I've tried both of them and I'm glad of the choice I made. I really wouldn't be happy with the kind of keyboard on the 8900 and it doesn't seem to be able to take a beating as the bold does. Also, I certainly don't need a toy for a phone.
I sometimes get teased about it being big and well, I can say I'm always keeping it in my pocket and it never bothers me at all. I'm actually pretty active and I have no fear of keeping it with me no matter if i'm mountain biking or snowboarding. I've dropped it several times and the phone's a tank! All it takes is a screen protector film and it's good to go.
The only thing I think sucks with the phone is the camera quality.
