It been forever since RIM announced the new BlackBerry Bold smartphone and at last it is available for pre-order. Best Buy is taking pre-orders for the Bold. They are selling unlocked and unsubsidized version for $659.99 (What!). Best Buy estimates the arrival time for the Bold at about 1-2 weeks, which would mean unlocked version will ship around the same time AT&T ships a subsidized BlackBerry Bold.
The features on the phone are 480 x 320 screen, 2-megapixel camera, quad band GSM/EDGE, tri band HSDPA, Bluetooth, aGPS and microSD card slot. Battery life will be 4 hours talk time and 9 days standby. If you want the unlocked BlackBerry Bold you can pre-order it on Best Buy’s website.
