Blackberry Bold's OS screw up

I’ve been trying to buy a Blackberry Bold. Full price. No contracts. I just want the handset.

First I went into the Vodafone shop. None left in stock.

Carphone Warehouse? Despite my issue with their insurance, I popped in. None in stock. They’ve all been sent back, I’m told — big, big technical issues with the device’s operating system.

T-Mobile?

Yup, they’ve got them. Just, not right now. Big issues with the operating system, apparently. Won’t be back in stock ’til the end of the month.

Gahh.

Do I buy one from eBay? A bug ridden new Blackberry Bold?

Decisions, decisions.
