AT&T just told us that the BlackBerry Bold will be released on November 4 for $299. That’s the same price as the 16GB iPhone 3G, natch.
That’s the official date. No rumors, no “sources,” none of that nonsense.
Be there, or not.

Have you guys heard anything regarding why it took so long to get this out the door?
Many reasons for the delay, check the blogs. Here’s one that pretty much spells it out though: http://gizmodo.com/5061348/orange-pulls-blackberry-bold-over-quality-concerns
The iPhone 3G is $199.. Not $299. So it’s not the same price.
Actually, it’s both.
The 16GB model is $299, but I get your point.
As for the delays, well, AT&T has officially been saying all along that the Bold was due by the end of the year. It’s all these “BEST BUY CLAIMS OCTOBER RELEASE DATE” rumors that have clogged all the Internets.
But hasn’t the thing been out in other countries, such as Canada, for some time now?
The $199 price is reasonable enough to consider for next phone.
I believe the release date in Canada was in August.
