Barely two months after Research In Motion's latest BlackBerry Bold phone launched on Rogers Canada, the device is already seeing a price cut.

Best Buy online is offering a Canadian $100 discount on the Bold bringing its price down to $200 with a three-year contract from the $300 earlier.

The move will put the Bold in a better position to compete with Apple's iPhone and comes barely two months after the phone was launched on the carrier's network.

Now how long before AT&T cuts its price for the Bold? The handset will be available on Nov. 4 in AT&T stores nationwide.

It's being offered at $300 with a two-year contract, significantly higher than the 3G iPhone at $200, and the newly launched T-Mobile G1 phone at
$180 (all with a two-year contract). Engadget has some cool unboxing photos.

Any bets that the early birds for this phone in the U.S. are going to be the losers?
