BlackBerry Bold Drops to $199 for Canadians

When the hotly anticipated BlackBerry Bold first launched with Rogers Wireless a while ago, it sold for $399 with a three-year contract. Today, you’ll be able to get the beautiful smartphone for half that price. The bad news is that you still have to sign a three-year contract.

Heading on over to Best Buy Mobile, you’ll discover that the Rogers-branded BlackBerry Bold is being sold for $199.99, representing a $100 price drop. This is after a pre-existing $100 price drop from the original $399 sticker. Further still, if you nab this phone from Best Buy, they’ll also give you a $50 gift card.

Yes, you have to sign for a qualifying contract, but your net price on the Bold is closer to $150. That’s pretty cheap for a ‘Berry of this calibre.
