it kinda sucks as a premier agent that we cant sell the bold til nov 4th. but best buy started selling them already. i think that blows. what are your thoughts.

My thought is your don't know what your talking about. Ya they are advertising it. But none of them have it in stock nor can they get it till the 4th. Also if you try and order it off their website it says back ordered. SO don't feel like you got jiped... Just do better research next time...

wow that is quite a story... You have quite an imagination. Whats the number to that store i want to come get one too... I used to work at Best Buy and at no point did they ever get in 200 of one phone nor did they ever sell 75 in one day. Also i know blackberry is not doing any kinda of pre-release for any other stores or companies. So nice try but your storied don't work here buddy... 🤣

One Best Buy got 200 of ONE phone?

Considering they have not been launched by AT&T and RIM will not activate a Bold PIN me thinks you are either getting duped or looking for attention.

Now sells unlocked phones. They may be ordering them Unlocked and selling them without a contract like they do with the E71.

AT&T has exclusive US distribution on the Bold. I do not think Best Buy would be allowed to violate that by selling the handset unlocked.

I agree... Bigmike is full of himself and just wants attention...

You gotta excuse that other guy there are lot of rude people on Phone Scoop. Especially the AT&T forum, AT&T=Rude, Verizon=****y, Sprint=Stupid, T-Mobile=Friendly.

And yes I'm an AT&T subscriber (7yrs).

Your not the sharpest tool in the shed buddy. I called your Best Buy that you say has it. The girl flat out said we don't have any and won't have any till Nov the 4th. Don't put info out there that you can't support. Sorry to make you look bad, but there is just too much BS out here in the forums... So better luck next time bigmike...

You can pre order at bestbuy. None in stock or else I'm sure engadget would have already posted it yesterday. Nice try though mike.

He didn't specify. You should probably admit you were wrong and made an ass of yourself.

Actually bigmike99s claimed they were in stock at a specific location.

Yup... That's why we were giving him such a hard time... He even gave the number to the location and I called them and they said they didn't and wouldn't have any in stock till Nov. 4th just like everyone else. Notice bigmike hasn't posted here since. He knows he didn't know what he was talking about.

That's possible, or he was just trying to get folks to go on a wild goose chase...

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt that he is just a wild and crazy jokester type of guy...

Yup pretty much... He has had plenty of time to have an out... He is too scared to try and defend himself... Its ok I guess there has to be one nice person out there and try and help the fallen people... 😎

Well considering the information you posted was bogus yeah you got ripped.

Best Buy has no phones yet, period.

Oct 30, 2008, 4:23 PM
Right... If you you got a bold then post your pin to the new Bold... You seriously must be crazy because I called that number you gave me and they said they didn't have any in stock. Also the phone is $299.99 on a two year contract. So you did you get riped off... You are lame bro...

Wow, dude. I tried to give you an out and you still blow it. Its a phone. No one is really gonna be super impressed that you have it, as several of us will have one. You should have cut your losses when you had your chance...

If this article is true, that would mean Bigmike reallllllly overpaid for his bold...if he really did get one....

Of course, this is talking about that weird Candian money, so it may mean absolutely nothing here... 🙄

Bigmike is full of it. I called that Best Buy again and said hey there is a guy out on phonescoop saying he purchased a phone from your store store on Monday for $350. The guy said no he didn't that they don't have any phones nor do an stores in the state of Washington. He said they understand about the strict release laws and the fines they would receive if a phone was purchased through their location before the release date.

So in all bigmike is full of it...

He's a Level 3 Putz. One, for making a false claim. Two, for putting up a phone number so people could very easily confirm he made a false claime. Three, for coming back and making the claim again after he had already been publicly shot down. 🤣

Ya know what? You are an ass! We work for the same agent and if you worked up here instead of in Dallas, you would know that the Best Buy that we have been talking about is shady and does this type of thing all the time!!! You wanna play little word games, fine, but maybe you should know what you are talking about. I had the day off when Best Buy was selling them early (and Yes, they were), I went to the store and I had one in my hand that day. quit thinking you know what the hell you are talking about when you really dont.

It was true. They did have them in stock, but they weren't letting people leave the store with them. National Retailers got them in stock a week early. I live in the same area as him.

I had a customer come in last monday with a Bold asking me some questions when I asked him where he got it he told me best buy so I called the store he indicated and they told me that yes they had them in stock but they were going fast. I called my blackberry account rep and got a phone call back about twenty minutes later from his boss saying that they had contacted the best buy store I had told them about and in no uncertain terms told them that they were not to sell anymore bolds. I went into the same best buy on tuesday and they told me that they didnt have any bolds in stock and when i mentioned that i was told yesterday that they did he just looked at me funny and said he didnt know what I was talking about.
