Mobilicity announces the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is available today, $549.99 outright

By on September 29, 2011 at 8:58am in Mobile News, Mobilicity


Mobilicity has come out and officially announced on Twitter that the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 is now available. Unfortunately nothing has showed up on their site, nor in stores. We’ve also reached out to Mobilicity for the no-contract price point, but this would be a stellar device to combine with the $25 talk, text and data plan (plus $5 for BES).

The Bold 9900 is hands down the best BlackBerry smartphone to date. This comes loaded with the new BlackBerry 7 OS, full QWERTY keyboard plus a 2.8-inch touchscreen display. In addition, this has a 1.2GHz single-core processor, Wi-Fi and a 5 megapixel camera that can shoot HD videos.

Update: We’ve been informed by a few Mobi tipsters that the Bold will be $549.99 outright, but still no Bold in stock??

Update #2: A press release was just sent out that says a new promo that gives “three free months of BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) when they purchase the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone and activate on a monthly rate plan of $35 or higher”. Nothing yet online.

Update #3: It’s finally online, but no place to purchase yet. More here at Mobilicity

    • This Friday’s Mobilicity Midnight Madness deal has one Calgary location selling it for 404, which includes the hundred dollar port in credit, and a couple discounts for prepaying a couple months and signing up with credit card payments.

  4. “… this would be a stellar device to combine with the $25 talk, text and data plan”

    BIS costs $5 more on the back to school plan bringing the total to $30 a month. Still a great deal nonetheless.

    • Unlimited talk, Unlimited text, Unlimited data…Not really ‘cheaping out’. Though you can always get the $40+$5BIS plan for Unlimited Canada/US long distance, Unlimited Global text, Voicemail etc…

  13. That’s a lot of coin for a transitional model. Especially considering what you can get with Android or WP7.5. This will get no attention from RIM as they move over to QNX in a couple of months. OS7 is basically OS4 with better icons. I’d pay $300, tops.

  14. *tsk tsk* I cannot fathom how you Canadians are so against a company which has so much to do with Canadian innovation in the tech sector. Even if RIM is going downhill (are you forgetting Apple was once on verge of bankruptcy?) at least be positive about it or show little love/support for it. You don’t even need to spend money on a BB for that, just don’t put it in negative light if you haven’t even spent 48 hours with it. That’s what the investors are picking up – consumer confidence goes a long way in making a company successful.

  17. Doesn’t look like you can purchase any of the phones online. You’ll have to walk into a store.

  20. Went to three stores in Toronto all are refusing to sell to existing customers. Either a corporate directive to try to load new activiations or the dealers are getting no commission with out a new activation and are taking matters into their own hands.

    • If you go to one of the corporate stores, they will sell it to you regardless if you are a new activation or an existing customer.
