AT&T slashes prices on Bold and Curve
June 3rd, 2009 | by Chris Speight |
Well, in a bit of suprising news, AT&T has cut the price of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 by $50, down to $149.99 after a mail in rebate. While likewise, the BlackBerry Bold has been cut by a whopping $100, down to only $199.99, also with a mail in rebate. While I’m not surprised at all to see the Bold drop in price again, I am a bit shocked to see the 8900 fall in price by a quarter after only being on the carrier a couple of weeks.
Is this just a reactionary measure so that the better device wasn’t the same price or are we going to see a new BlackBerry device on AT&T much sooner than we thought? Or worse, could this be that the devices just aren’t selling well? The other likely and rumored answer is that they are trying to clear inventory in light of yet another BlackBerry device hitting their shelves, but there has been nothing substantial to back that up. Either way, it seems quite a few people had to pay the early adopters tax for their BlackBerry Curve.
