BlackBerry 9700 Appears In All It's Blurry Glory On Bell Systems?!?

We've seen the T-Mobile branded 9700 show up already and we've got up close and personal with the AT&T field test version but this is some new information here. With Bell and Telus getting set to launch their HSPA services it seems fitting to have a nice new BlackBerry to add to the line up. The above picture, captured in full on blurry cam mode shows the 9700 reportedly within the Bell CSR systems, so we can add them to the carrier line up for the 9700. Sit tight folks, hopefully we'll have some more information coming soon!

I sure hope they don't get it first they got the Tour and the Curve first. Rogers should get the 9700 First. Cant wait I have had my curve for at least 2 years now want an upgrade.

Wheres the Rogers love? I thought the 9700 would be going to Rogers first? Guess not. The 9700 seems like the ultimate blackberry. It has everything: 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Camera w/ flash, and the all powerful optical trackpad. Get it Rogers!

RIM won't leave the largest carrier out of the loop on it's new flagship GSM phone.

It will probably come to Rogers before any other carrier. The Onyx 9700 is a GSM phone. Rogers is Canada's largest carrier with the most subscribers.

Besides, this is nothing more than a blurry pic.

I may be interested in this if I can bundle my bell Sh*t and get the phone without a contract!

Posted by Blamraddle Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

Posted by thehoomizon21 Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

maybe their getting the shipment then

Posted by MacD Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

The date shown is 08/10/2009. All it represents is the date the 9700 was put into the system.

Posted by pipotobe Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

This is the Canadian system 8/10/2009 means October 8 2009.

Posted by toolonglyf Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

No.. unfortunately this is only the date it was put into the system... trust me i use that program

Posted by Blamraddle Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

damn i knew it was too good to be true but apparently i know that rogers is 100% getting "a bunch of new phones at the end of august including a new blackberry" just hoping its the 9700!!!

Posted by Genaro201 Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

Posted by frame313 Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

thought this was a contest thread

Posted by andybrydon Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

This is really exciting! The BB love continues over to Bell.

Posted by kingb71 Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 911 days ago

Would it make sense to assume Telus will be getting it too?

Posted by DaleMH Saturday, Aug 15, 2009 910 days ago

Any chance of a similar pic from the Telus system? I just got my Tour but the Onyx is really tempting me.
