no shit! way too long overdue. i've been waiting since i first read about it back in march. back then, it was due out in may. here we are just knocking on 2009 and we're just getting it. although releasing it later is probably a better idea seeing as holiday season is right around the corner. they'll probably profit more not dropping at the same time as the iphone 3g. what a nice christmas present the new, sleek blackberry bold would be!

Hefty price tag for AT&T's BlackBerry Bold (Reuters)
NEW YORK (Reuters) - AT&T Inc said on Wednesday it would sell the BlackBerry Bold from Research In Motion Ltd for $299, or 50 percent more than it charges for Apple Inc's iPhone. AT&T, which had set a new bar for smartphones with a $200 iPhone, said it would start selling the high-speed version of Rim's popular mobile email devices from November 4, just ahead of the unofficial start of the U.S. holiday shopping season. But with its relatively high price, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Chris King said the Bold with likely be more popular among executives than consumers. "The BlackBerry is going to be almost entirely business focused. iPhone is still mainly attracting consumers," said Stifel Nicolaus analyst Chris King. AT&T said it would be the first U.S. operator to support navigation services for customers traveling outside the country with the Bold, which also supports Wi-Fi, a short-range wireless network technology found in coffee shops. The $299 price tag applies to customers who sign up for a two year contract with AT&T, the company said. (Reporting by Sinead Carew; Editing by Andre Grenon) |

I currently have the curve, and browsing sucks arse on it. On the iphone it looks the same as if you are on your home computer, but smaller size. Does that have to do with the coding, etc..? Will the new bold have the same web browsing capabilities as the iphone?

I had no idea the Bold hasn't been released in the US yet. This almost makes up for just getting the iPhone, paying 10x more for data and plans, not getting HBO, etc...(this list could go on forever).
