Best Buy confirms 3-year price of Bold 9780 to be $149.99


Here’s what we are now hearing: The BlackBerry Bold 9780 will be launched on Tuesday, November 9th. This was delayed by both Bell and Virgin (Rogers and TELUS never stated a release date). On another note, Best Buy now confirms the 3-year contract price of Bold 9780 to be $149.99 on all carriers (except TELUS). The no-contract price is rumoured to be $499.99 – but not confirmed.

    • 3 years is a long time for a refresh BlackBerry. Im planning on picking up a cheap 9700 once people upgrade and wait for whats next.

  3. If you dont want to be tied into a contract then get the 9700? I do think OS6 would run nicer on the 9780 and does have more memory and better camera.

  4. Not bad. I wonder if it’s worth upgrading from a Bold 9000?

    • Agreed.

      Bold has become irrelevant at that price. the people who care about the bold-style phone already have one.

      And the people who would buy one because it’s cheaper than a torch (Barely) will end up with a curve 3g.

      Makes no difference.

    • Yes the Bold is a nice device, but the $599 tag is way too steep, even the 9700 was too steep and the newly released Curve 3G is almost as good as the Bold with slightly less memory and no camera flash for over $250 less.
