AT&T Mobility had started selling refurbished versions of Research In Motion's BlackBerry Bold for free with a two-year contract in an exclusive online deal. The decision is the latest move by AT&T to discount some of its most popular high-end phones.
The phone is regularly priced at $299.99 new with a two-year contract and for $199.99 refurbished with a two-year contract. It is not known how long the offer will last, but it appears to be an online-only deal. An AT&T spokeswoman confirmed that the carrier is offering the deal.
AT&T briefly sold refurbished versions of Apple's iPhone 3G for as low as $100 around New Year's Day.
