    Oh noes! A political thread assasin!

    Nov.4th? Seriously? One more check in the box for the 8320 along with that earlier post about the Bold not being as amazing as hyped to be. Any news on that release date, seeing as a device thats been out on TMO for a year is now a month late on ATT?

    Which device has been on TMo for a year?

    BTW I am not political thread assasin, but this is no political thread, Get it? Hope so..I love talking politics, I just don't think this is the place..I mean over 1200 posts about the release date, does that not tell you this not a political thread?

    From the press release:

    " BlackBerry Bold smartphone will be available in the United States for as low as $299.99(1) on Tuesday, Nov. 4, in AT&T"

    $299. With the 2 year contact?
    The Bold is getting further out of my reach.
    Damn.

    well even tho its 2 weeks away, thats fine w/ me bc its a definitive date, and my college classes got cancelled bc of elections. what a great day, sleep in, wake up and go get a bold, and no classes. hopefully all the stores are well stocked, as they will have 2 weeks to do this.

    All you have to do is look at AT&T's web site, do a shop for phones. All prices are 150.00 more then the 2 year contract price. I was told this yesterday by a rep, and what he says appears to be the case, just by looking at the site.

    So I am guessing 299.00 plus the 150.00 for 449.00. now for me it will be 449.00 - 75.00 for the early upgrade..

    I should get a premier discount too, I do not know what that is. I would assume like most BB's there will be a mail in rebate around 100.00.

    Here is hoping.

    Because you only have to be six month into your current contract.

    The site will not tell you anything about an early upgrade. I only know this because I talked to a local rep, and Scott here told us all the same thing.

    As for the other question on premier discounts, I have no idea. I know locally I get 50% off of my accessories, I have no clue what it is for equipment.
