What price will the BlackBerry Bold retail for in the US?

Settled as More than $600

No contract = $680

http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/103008-rim-blackberry-bold.html?hpg1=bn

The BlackBerry Bold 9000, Research in Motion's formidable contender in the 3G market, has finally arrived. And though the Bold boasts a sleek design, a sharp display, and high-speed connectivity, it fails to impress in other areas--particularly, its call quality and its camera's image quality. As enticing as this phone is, its faults may prevent the Bold from justifying its steep price tag (the phone costs US$300 with a two-year AT&T contract, and $680 with no contract).

Background:

Non-Contract Retail Cost.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

How much does the iphone cost? My guess is if they want to have a "iphone killer" its going to have to be less than the iphone.

Bold is going $299 w/ contract on November 4, still waiting on the non-contract price. Expect it to be $100-200 more.
