We saw an influx of Torch ads when it was released, however the 9780 has endured a much more media quiet release. This device is not only featured in a new T-Mobile commercial, but featured in white by a bunch of ballerina’s! Lord of the Dance, Taylor Martin, approves. Check out the video below, and make sure to leave us a comment below if you have gotten a chance to use this new Bold!

I know I’ve said this before, but these prices seem a little high to me. Are you on Bell or Vigin Mobile? Is this what you’ve been waiting for, or will you hold off until the price goes down? Comment below.

The white BlackBerry Torch 9800 and Bold 9780 dummy units have been spotted at Rogers Wireless, and both looking very enticing. The Torch 9800 will set you back $229.99 on a 3-year contract, and the Bold 9780 will run $149.99 for 3-years. The actual devices will be arriving shortly, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. As soon as launch date information becomes available I will update this post.
Love the white Bold 9780, but to me these prices seem kinda high for a 3-year contract. Do they seem high to you, or is this normal? Comment below.

Just one thing sticks out at me when looking at the Bold 9780 though, the PRICE… $399.99 on a two year contract. For another hundred bucks you can by the phone outright. Come on Telus, give us a break. Who are you trying to kid, us or yourselves? Anyone else think this is a little on the highside? Who’s gonna purchase the Bold 9780, and for how much? Comment below.

Best Buy has released a sales ad showcasing the BlackBerry Bold 9780 along with pricing from Bell, Rogers, and Virgin Mobile. It breaks down like this, on a 3-year contract the Bold 9780 will run you $149.99. If you choose not to go with a contract, the 9780 will set you back $499.99. The latest rumor for a release date is November the 9th, but this has not been confirmed.
It’s been noted that Telus is the only Canadian provider not included in the above ad. Here is the thing though, when I go to Best Buy’s website and search for the Bold 9780, Telus is the only carrier that pops up. Telus is showing a 3-year contract with the phone costing only $99.99. Without a contract the price is $499.99. Here is the official description on Best Buy’s website.
The Telus BlackBerry Bold 9780 features the BlackBerry 6 operating system, so you get a seamless and reliable mobile experience. It’s also loaded with great features including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, a 5MP camera, and so much more that will keep you in touch with your entire world.
With these price announcements showing up, you can count on a release date manifesting itself any day now. The question I have is this, with leaks dropping every other day for OS 6, is it worth picking this up when it becomes available, or will you simply install OS 6 on your 9700, and pass on the 9780? Leave your comments below.

We just recently saw the 9780 news officially drop last week, with a laundry list of carriers confirming that they will be carrying the device. As far as we can tell, this video is truly a 9780, but it is in a test environment. The 9780 has not (and possibly will not) shown up in red in pre-orders, so only time will tell
I have to say… I have seen some ugly phones in my day, but this has to be the ugliest BlackBerry that I’ve ever seen. BlackBerrys (beside the Pearl) have always had an executive look to them (half of the reason that I liked them so darn much). Even the white Bold still had a pristine and dignified look. A red Bold is just another step in the wrong direction for RIM, at least in my opinion. Let me know what you guys think! Red BlackBerry Bold, pass or fail?

Just two days after Research In Motion announced the BlackBerry Bold 9780 we get to find out about dummy devices being sent out to retailers. Rogers has already confirmed they will be releasing the Bold 9780, yet no words on an actual launch date or pricing. Typically, it doesn’t take too long for a launch, once dummy devices arrived in stores.
