Blackberry Bolds hit New York, sell out

Dear New Yorkers,

It has come to our attention that you lucky bastards are able to purchase pre-release Blackberry Bolds for a mere $1,300 right there in Manhattan. While this price is nothing short of egregious, we’re a little jealous that you can walk to your local mom and pop Blackberry shop and pick one up (sort of). BlackberryBusiness.com is selling pre-release Bolds at a “special offer” of $1,299.99 on their web site. According to Joe at Blackberry Business, who was holding the last one in his hand to make a sale as I spoke with him, “We got five a couple days ago, but we’re all sold out now.” Joe must be happy to have made some big money on pre-release 9000s.

Looks like you’re too late. Tsk tsk. Of note, even though the site shows pictures of an AT&T branded Bold, the ones available were unbranded.

Thanks, Robby!

    A local store in NYC has them in stock. Prices are the same but the best thing is that they have them in stock and they are brand new. They have over 40 units in stock. All unlocked and ready to go. Dial +1.212.583.9100 and Ask for Ben or BJ. All the very best.

    I’m sorry did that just say $1,300?
    Was that followed by “being sold out?”

    $1,300???

    So I might just start shipping them in from overseas and sitting on the NYSE steps and open a booth…

    And at Vodafone in Germany you can get the Bold for 580€ (about $830) without a contract. And I thought Germany usually was more expensive…

    The idiots who run the Futuretronics store at the Fashion Show Mall here in Vegas are complete dicks. They sell products at three times MSRP, and have an attitude to match.

    Their prey: Unsuspecting foreign tourists who buy their overpriced crap only to find out after they get back home that they have no warrantee and there is no return policy.
