We already know that AT&T has started training their employees on the Bold, but now we are hearing that AT&T has “seed stock” of the Bold floating around. Seed stock — which never normally shows up in the AT&T system unless a release is less than 30 days away — is a small amount of devices that are given to carriers, carrier stores, and indirects so that the product can be given to company reps to replace past devices and train employees.

In related news, AT&T will be holding a nationwide contest in August in which the top reps for BlackBerry activations in each market will win a Bold. And as for a firm AT&T release date and pricing, we don’t know that at this time, but know that it is targeted for September 1.

  • I was an "indirect" Cingular/AT&T agent principal for several years and my store often got it's first shipment of newly released phones a week or two *after* the company stores. A humbling experience - I guess we weren't as important as we thought...
