The BlackBerry Bold is the buzz word right now in the world of BlackBerries. Having recently been revealed that it is on its way to AT&T, we still did not hear a price, or a the solid date for the device. Though the information is not concrete, it still tells quite a bit about the device, the carriers it will be available on, and even the estimated prices for the device.
We can see from the comparison that the BlackBerry Bold will be available on all four national carriers by the September. The device will support 3G on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. Unfortunately for T-Mobile subscribers, though the device is listed as HSDPA capable, it is the same model as will be on AT&T. That means that the magical Band IV will not be included, so this means no 3G for the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold.
The subsidized price for the device is reasonable for what you are getting. Interesting on T-Mobile it will be $50 more, despite not being 3G capable on that network. As expected, AT&T gets the device first, closely followed by the other nationals. CDMA subscribers will be happy to know, they will not have to do any additional waiting to get the device, as they will get it the same time as T-Mobile.

Talk about mistakes on my part. It is still early. The comparison is talking about GSM bands, NOT HSDPA bands. It could very well have band IV so do not count T-Mobile out yet. Sorry guys, I can not believe I missed that.
I really need to know when the Blackberry Bold comes out because I have to get this phone. It’s HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
