AT&T's BlackBerry Bold and Curve, Down in Price

There are a whole mess of fancy new smartphones hitting the market right now, so many that choosing can be a little bit overwhelming. Do you go for the Palm Pre despite the issues with its carrier? Do you wait a few weeks for the iPhone 2009? Or, do you take the safe decision and go with one of the time-proven BlackBerry Smartphones?

It's a difficult decision to make, but if you're an AT&T customer it just got a little bit easier. They just announced that they are reducing prices on the BlackBerry Curve and Bold 8900 smartphones. The Curve is dropping from $199.99 to $149.99, while the Bold is dropping from $299.99 to $199.99. That's a respectable drop for the Curve, and a huge discount on the BlackBerry Bold.

Both new smartphones should now be substantially more affordable. Two-hundred bucks for a 2 year contract on a BlackBerry Bold is a solid deal, you could do a lot worse when shopping for a cell phone. This is a smart move on AT&T's part; not everyone wants the latest and greatest, but Summer is definitely a big season for mobile buying.
