BlackBerry Bold Selling for $US660 at Best Buy, Costs $US169 to Build

10:43PM October 28, 2008 | John Herrman

Two hilariously complementary news items have hit at about the same time regarding the BlackBerry Bold: first, iSuppli’s $US169 price estimate for the cost to build the handset, and second, Best Buy’s announcement that they are selling the unlocked version for $US660. iSuppli’s cost analysis reveals a handset that costs the same amount to build as the iPhone 3G, but that, even under contract, will sell for significantly more. Of course, this is all unfortunately pretty typical. [Best Buy and Digitimes]

    Anyone know where I might be able to find the wallpaper displayed on the phone sitting on the left hand side of the picture (the one with the blue cube character)?
    To hell with these prices, I just want the picture
