After quite a few delays, AT&T has finally announced the Blackberry Bold launch date: November 4th. This high-tech handheld device will be $299.99 with a two-year contract.
Hmm, isn't there something else going on that day? I swear, I feel like...oh ya, its election day! Smooth move AT&T.
Ralph de la Vega, president and chief executive officer of AT&T Mobility said:
"The BlackBerry Bold is the best BlackBerry smartphone ever, backed by the nation's fastest 3G network and the hands-down best international coverage of any carrier. The BlackBerry Bold is the complete package, providing customers with an absolutely outstanding mobile experience whether doing e-mail, browsing the Web, viewing streaming video or simply making a phone call. And it is being introduced in the U.S. only from AT&T."
Well congratulations Ralphy for a new and improved Crackberry. And congratulations on your bold decision to release the phone on election day. I am not really sure if this is going to help or do anything positive for the sales of the phone. I would hope people would be more interested in who is the next to be top dog of America, as opposed to getting a new phone.

As materialistic as our society is, it's sad to say, but I think there will be a pretty good turnout of people ready to buy the Bold on November 4th. Who knows though.
With the coinciding of the release date and Election Day, you just can't help but wonder what 'genius' made that executive decision, ha!
Although this could be a great marketing ploy in advertising a release date familiar to everyone, I don't believe the crackberrys will be flying off shelfs that particular day. I just don't see people saying... Ok now that I have voted, I need to go get that new blackberry that hit stores today.
Unfortunately I believe that sales for the bold will still do very well even though it's election day. People always seem to need the newest and up to date models of phones or whatever else they crave. Hopefully more people will be voting instead of buying that day.
I totally agree with Danielle. Our society is very materialistic and would love to have this new Bold coming out. I could not wait to get my IPhone, the new 3G, well needless to say it is not even cool any more because EVERYONE has it AND it has soo many glitches becuase I wanted it right when it came out.
I may be delusional, but I don’t foresee mile-long lines waiting to buy the new Blackberry. I really hope people will focus on the election! Get out there and vote people!
