To which I'd say that - yes - that extra stuff would be nice, but hey, this is a BB Forum, we're not txting teens, or meek Jesus phone disciples.

No sir, we're serious, hard nosed folk in suits who demand bang for our buck. And at USD 1k+, even with tax deducted, a bigger, heavier device with a pretty screen can wait.

The price from cti-miami is very nice at just a tad over 6 bills. and plus, its unlocked and if you don't live in FL, its tax free. Although, I suspect the 8/30 eta date which is a saturday would be pushed further back unless its a Rogers branded Bold.

I too think the 8/30 date is soft, but it will probably be unlocked from a non US carrier. I used them a year or so back when the Treo 750 first launched and it was from Vodafone UK.

yup 08/30 is not too far to save $100-$200 but my question is if they can really able to get on time. I was really tired with the excuses of previous 2 sellers with whom I ended with cancellation and finally getting device from fommy.com. also tried UK and Canada for unlock bold through our corporate offices but no good. finally am happy that I have this device in my hand

My buddy had a Bold shipped to me from Canada, where I need to eventually ship it to him in Russia. Very nice device, well made, screen is amazing
