Price cuts? Where? The 9970 still sells for $300 AFTER 2-year contract. Even the 9000 on AT&T is the THIRD most expensive phone they offer, only bested by the iPhone 4s 32GB and 64GB.

It's ridiculous how expensive Blackberry's are. Then you factor in they have the most expensive data packages because of RIM's proprietary network usage fees to carriers, which is passed on to the consumer, and they are the most expensive phones to operate as well.

So basically you're getting a outdated phone with an outdated OS that is among the highest cost of ownership. So how are the bleeding money with suckers still getting sucked into their crap? They still have 10 times the marketshare of WinMo.

If you claim numbers, at least don't fake the numbers.

Directly from AT&T's shop site:
Bold 9900 - $199 with 2-year contract. Third-most expensive phone after iPhone? You bet. But so is Motorola Atrix at $199. Or Galaxy SII at $199 too. They're all third-most expensive.

Bold 9000 - Handheld from 2008? They still sell that?

If I were you, I wouldn't make up numbers on something that can easily be verified.
