AT&T is slated to release the BlackBerry Bold on November 4th., but if you just can’t wait (or you were going to get one without a plan anyway), CompUSA has them in stock right now. $799.99 isn’t chump change by any means, but for an unlocked high-end smartphone without contract, that’s actually about standard. Still, Best Buy has it available for a touch cheaper ($659.99), and AT&T is offering the BlackBerry Bold for $299.99 when it comes out, if you can suck up the two-year contract.
