APC reviewed the Blackberry Bold, and it has me seriously wanting one. I checked ebay, and they’re still upwards of $800-1000 which is a joke, but I’m thinking I will probably pick one up after they’re released.
Guess this means I’m switching to AT&T Wireless after a bunch (I can’t remember, but it’s probably 5-6) years with Tmobile. Amazing what kind power these gadgets have to make us switch providers like this, and I kind of detest that it’s hard to get the same phone on different carriers, with all these exclusive agreements between the carrier and device manufacturer. It definitely isn’t in the consumer’s best interest.
RIM, if you’re listening, I would buy one direct from you instead of switching carriers even if it cost a bit more, assuming you offer a similar replacement plan for damage and loss like most wireless companies do.
