Developers are being offered discounts on the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900

Even though some see T-Mobile customers are in a bind over the recent availability of the BlackBerry Bold 9900, especially when it’s priced exorbitantly at $299.99, the carrier is actually offering a special promotion on the handset to developers.

Actually, it might be a good time trying to befriend a BlackBerry developer seeing that T-Mobile is offering discounts specifically for them. For a limited time, they can pick up the handset for the considerably more tasteful price of $199.99 on-contract after a $50 mail-in-rebate. In addition, they’re also going to waive the usual $35 activation fee that's normally accompanying most new handsets. However, it’s not explicitly stated if the deal is available to those developers with qualified upgrades.

If you’re a developer planning on taking up this offer, you’ll need to call 1-866-464-8662 and select option 3 to speak with someone and mention promo code 7490TMOFAV to get the deal. As it stands, the limited time offering is set to expire on November 1st 2011 – so there’s still plenty of time for regular customers to seek out a BlackBerry developer of some sort to help them out.
