Here’s it, but we’re warning you, you might want to sit down. The contract-free Bold is listed at $679.99 at Ideal Purchase, and fittingly enough, the product page offers a convenient link for seeking financing. At any rate, it also tells us that pre-orders will typically ship out within one to two weeks, though we’d be hesitant to bet the farm on that.
