Great looking phone. This is something RIM should of came out with 2 years ago in order to compete with Apple or remain strong in the mobile industry. Sad to see it had to be done my a 3rd party. I suspect the price will make it uneconomical for most of the current bb customers. On a serious note why is the current BOLD so expensive? With a few exception the majority of components are the boring and the same from other devices. Their BOM should be super cheap yet they price themselves to fail.
