Hv_Thugg I was there Saturday looking a case for my Curve and the rep. had one selling. I even looked at the phone during the demo but said to myself that the 24 month contract was a turnoff at $2500 plus tax for the cheapest data/voice plan. Anyways I guess this was a BACK DOOR transaction cause the customer said in the week she woul pickup and I am sure what I saw and heard was correct.

The rep said it was for 28k which was half the original price. Frankly though Lime not losing cause they buy buying the Bolds' in bulk, making a killing off the 2 year contract not to mention if you break the contract before the 2 year ends then you have to find the other half of the money for the Bold........Sounds like a Marriage to me between little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

New kingston store has NONE...
Dem going to make a kill off it.... but it's still less than what u can get it for anywhere else..

I was always Lime Customer but not as a primary so it shouldnt be that hard for me havent been too bad so far...

Once the contract details suit your needs then i don't see the big deal. Two years isn't all that long if you ask me. That's pretty much standard in the developed countries.

Whats happening is you have to go place ur order to get a bold so when the stores get them you get first prefrence thats whats happening right about now.

Well i can only speak for Digicel. The Bolds are almost out of stock islandwide. Yes what they are indeed doing is taking orders for them. Some stores have a list where you can add your contact info to be notified when they arrive. But trust me, you won't. Postpaid customers are get first choice and the only way you can be guaranteed a Bold from Digicel right now is to order and pay for it on spot and get it 1-7 business days time.

I wouldn't really say there's a shortage still I just think that BB/RIM made a concised amount of them and the demand became greater so what they may do is make more and put a higher price tag on them

Stopped by the LIME store on HWT rd. They said they will have some in january and the Promotion will still be on.
