While we still don’t have any firm word on the expected retail price point from Bell for the device, at least we have a firm release date for the BlackBerry 9860. Word is that the date has been set for next week, August 31st to be exact, and Future Shop already has it listed on their site at a price of $129.99 on a three year contract. Retail price isn’t known yet, but standard pricing practices would suggest an MSRP of about $499.99. Rogers has already announced their launch of the device, with a sticker price of $199.99 with a three-year commitment, for those looking to do a little comparison shopping before they decide who to sign with.
