Blackberry Bold available Nov. 4th

**hozay09** · 10-22-2008, 12:18 PM

For those who still care. I wasn't too impressed when I tried out a test unit a couple months back. Hopefully with all the delays & testing, they stepped it up. They had to get it out before the Storm hits Verizon late Nov. Gonna be an interesting month! Price point is $299 w/ 2yr agreement.

can it handle crysis?

**psi chick** · 10-22-2008, 03:18 PM

eh...that's a high price tag for a phone that's been riddled with problems since it's inception. i'll wait to see what happens with it before deciding on picking it up. also waiting to see what else rim has in store. i've heard rumors of new phones, but knowing rim it will be 5 years before we see them.

damn that's the same price as the iphone 3g...

I'm currently fed up with blackberry's "reboot" flaw when it switches constantly between GSM and EDGE networks. SO unreliable.

**dommo_g** · 10-23-2008, 11:36 PM

Can you call people with it?
