Two hilariously complementary news items have hit at about the same time regarding the BlackBerry Bold: first, iSuppli’s $169 price estimate for the cost to build the handset, and second, Best Buy’s announcement that they are selling the unlocked version for $660. iSuppli’s cost analysis reveals a handset that costs the same amount to build as the iPhone 3G, but that, even under contract, will sell for significantly more. Of course, this is all unfortunately pretty typical. [Best Buy and Digitimes]
