Full FeedThe “Onyx” BlackBerry Bold 9700 officially announced
We’ve been telling you it was coming, and now it’s all official. The latest RIM device is the BlackBerry Bold 9700, or the “Onyx.” It has been officially announced, and is coming to AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Bell, Rogers and more.
So to go through the recap of what it brings you—some pretty nifty features on this new model with more memory for your apps at 256 MB, a faster processor speed (624 Mhz), the camera is upgraded to 3.2 megapixels, and the general style of the phone is cooler. It’s slimmer, has the optical trackpad, and just a jazzed-up look. Yet, you’ve still got the parts that you probably love—the keyboard has barely changed, and it still also has the leather backing. Also included in the latest Bold is OS 5.0.
Even with all the info we do have and the fact that RIM is launching the Onyx to just about every GSM carrier in both Europe and North America, they have yet to give a “this is it” official news on pricing and carriers. However, AT&T has said they will be offering it for $199 after a mail-in rebate of $100. T-Mobile hasn’t mentioned price as of their press release, but, they did say that the phone will be able to make unlimited calls off Wi-Fi for $10 a month. No such promise from AT&T.
The latest on the streets is that we can expect the new Bold in November for that holiday shopping. As always, stay tuned for more details as we get them.

Blackberry is the king of emails and communications. There is no other phone on the market that has a better keyboard than the berry. BBM is a huge selling point as well and it is the most secure device you can own of any cell phone (I wonder why the president owns one, as well as mega corporations like Boeing and even executive officers from companies like Google and Apple use blackberry)
