Blackberry Bold appears on AT&T web site

Posted on 10 June 2008 by Wayne Schulz

The Blackberry Bold 9000 has made an initial appearance on the AT&T web site. It is not yet available for ordering, and there is no announced release date or pricing. All of the previously reported specifications seem to be there – GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA, Half-VGA 480×320 resolution, 5 hours talk time, 13 days standby. Anyone want to bet on the 2 year price for this? Will Blackberry meet the new iPhone pricing head to head? This will be an interesting race to watch.

I say $500-$600 with no contract and I agree with the rumors that the subsidized price will be $300. The Curve still sells retail for $350…
I also speculate that the BlackBerry Personal data plan hikes up $10, from $30 to $40, due to the 3G speed increase. The original claim for the $30 price on BB Personal plans was that it gave you access to BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service). If that is the case, and the customary cost for 3G access through At&t is $30, add the $10 for BIS, and bam, you now have one expensive data plan just for “wonderful” push email.
The BES plan already runs $45, will it too increase? $55 a month for a BES plan? Ouch.
It is speculation, of course, but with the $10 increase to the iPhone plan being attributed to 3G speeds, I can really, really see it happening.
