BlackBerry Bold to hit Canada

This week, the New Blackberry Bold 9000 will be coming to Canada via Rogers Communications Inc. This new blackberry is a high end model that matches the screen resolution of the iPhone but not the screen size.
Rogers will be the sole carrier for the new Blackberry Bold in Canada and AT&T will be the sole carrier of the Bold in the US.
Rogers has not disclosed the price of the coming Blackberry but it may be extremely expensive.
The Bold was already released in Germany, and for comparison, here are their prices.It's about 459.95 euros ($680 US) without a plan. And with a plan, it is 129.95 euros ($190 US).
Apparently, according to a leaked image on CrackBerry, Rogers will be charging $399 with a 3 year contract. Although this image may be false, it seems to look pretty official. Generally, with a 3 year contract, it really shouldn't be that expensive, being even more expensive than the iPhone. But we'll have to wait for the price to be confirmed.

Although the iPhone is going to be a serious competitor in the smartphone business, most people think the Blackberries are better for emailing and messaging because of the keypad instead of being touchscreen. The Bold will only be the first of many models Research In Motion plans on releasing. They say they will release a touchscreen model called the Thunder.
