BlackBerry Bold gets priced, dated (CDMA'd?)
InfoSyncWorld claims to have the pricing and availability info for the upcoming BlackBerry Bold.  It's no surprise that it will land on AT&T first, currently targeted for July, and will set customers back $300.  The other three major carriers will follow in September, though for some reason T-Mobile pricing is $350 while VZW and Sprint remain at $300.  We're pretty surprised (read: pleased) to see the CDMA Bold drop so quickly, seeing as how it took RIM nearly a year to get the Curve out the door, and we'd expect this to land on Alltel as well since they were the first to snatch up the 8330, but for now this is all just rumor.

okay comment number 1 I agree with you on sprint but why tmobile, yeah there is no 3g and they overcharge for there bb's but all of there services with no contract and great customer service is all good with me, and word on the street is they are about to buy sprint so what is the problem with tmobile

True, but in A LOT of places T-mobile's reception is absolutely horrendous.

tmobile buying sprint?? umm. nope. tmobile is GSM sprint is CDMA. A)tmobile is possibly looking to sell off american assets and get out of america not buy things... b) sprint is looking to sell off nextel and stop bleeding profusely from the wallet.

You do realise that Verizon, a US CDMA carrier, is owned by Vodaphone, a major European GSM carrier, right? How is that different than Deutsch Telekom buying Sprint, again?

17. (unregistered) posted on 16 May 2008, 19:00

the difference is that Vodaphone is not in the USA.

Actually that's a joint venture, VZW owns 55% while the Vodafone owns 45%.

24. (unregistered) posted on 17 May 2008, 04:30

Why would they be trying to get out of America when they just announced the launch of their 3G network?

26. JoeyStyles posted on 17 May 2008, 05:37

I agree if you aren't in a major city thats because they won't drop 3g to the masses

If by VZW you mean Verizon Communications, then yes.

42. (unregistered) posted on 19 May 2008, 09:36

VZW does not own 55% of its self. Verizon (landline) holds 55%. If you are going use facts, use correct facts.

45. (unregistered) posted on 19 May 2008, 16:11

Correction: Deutch Telecom is looking at purchasing (Nextel) not sprint! This is to absorb the 60 0000000 000 in debt since sprint purchased Nextel.

52. (unregistered) posted on 22 May 2008, 18:50

your an idiot before you open yourmouth know your facts. Verizon wireless is 55% Vodafone is 45% get your facts straight

53. (unregistered) posted on 23 May 2008, 13:39

You do realize that Sprint who is CDMA purchased Nextel which is GSM don't you?

54. (unregistered) posted on 23 May 2008, 13:44

No sir! You are the idiot! The company is a joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD). VZ = Verizon Communications VZW = Verizon Wireless Check Your facts dumb ass....http://aboutus.vzw.com/aboutus​overview.html
