I think a lot of us are loyal "V" customers, just not of Verizon, badumpbump!

Anyway, I'd be pissed if I had just bought a Bold for $299 on a two-year contract from AT&T. Yay for a return policy. Now... how is Walmart able to do that?

Seriously though, Verizon customers will hopefully get a significant discount on the Storm.

The only reason they get away with the prices of their groceries is because while they distract us with low prices, they're busy fucking their slave labor in the ass.

For the regular bold, it cites the 3G / WiFi networks.

For this 'unlimited,' is it not 3G?

For those who need far less calling minutes, the phone from AT&T (at $300) makes much more sense. You'll save $960 over the duration of your contract and still come out ahead $660 after paying $300 to AT&T for the Blackberry Bold. ]]>Nov 10th 2008 6:05PM
