It seems AT&T is still inching their way to finally announcing the BlackBerry Bold availability. While we still have not seen an official release date, we have already seen plenty of information that looks like it will be available in late October.

The drafted press release is dated September 8, but it seems that, along with the xx’d out dates above that will get a slight revising. Let’s just hope that $299 price tag will remain the same. Either way it seems an official announcement is imminent. So now that it looks like the Bold is finally going to shift into the available status, who’s going to snap one up?
