As I recall they had various VIP Bold launch parties in NYC/LA/SF, etc and babes paraded around with finger foods and people got to play with the phones and call each other and party. Each person got some card that let them register online to get a free Bold asap. Then the website wasn't up and the phones didn't come in for like a month or something. It was as bad as Verizon yanking all the Storms off the shelves the night before the launch because the OS had "security problems" and they flashed the buggy old beat up OS onto the newly released phones and came up way short on deliveries. Nice start.
