Of course it is. Whether its Craigslist or eBay, you can count on some shady character to hock the latest carrier-branded handsets before they’re even delivered to retail stores. The latest such unreleased mobile phone to be put up for auction on eBay is the BlackBerry 9000 Bold. This BlackBerry Bold comes complete with AT&T branding and packaging – go figure.
Sure, the BlackBerry 9000 Bold has been available for some time now. Unless, that is, you’re in the US. In that case, you’ve been swooning over in-hand pictures and reviews of the latest BlackBerry smartphone. With that high-resolution HVGA display, GPS, WiFi, and 3G data connectivity, the BlackBerry 9000 Bold gets the job done, and gets it done in style. But, thanks to unspecified problems on AT&T’s network, the BlackBerry Bold has been delayed longer than we care to think about. So much so that this eBay auction might actually grab the attention of a healthy handful of Bold fans.
AT&T BlackBerry Bold on eBay
So, for all you BlackBerry fanatics in the US that just can’t muster the patience to wait until November 4 for AT&T to launch the BlackBerry 9000 Bold, head on over to eBay and put in a bid for this AT&T BlackBerry Bold. Be forewarned, you’ll have to pay to play – in this case, the game of choice is “Be the first kid on the block with the Bold.”
