North of the border we felt a bit stung by AT&T BlackBerry Bold going for $299, since we paid $399 at launch, but happily Best Buy Mobile has dropped their price of the Rogers BlackBerry 9000 to $199 on a three-year contract until November 27th. We’ve already enjoyed one price-chop – it’s a pleasant surprise to get yet another so soon after. Hit up Best Buy to get yours ordered and shipped.
