BlackBerry Bold 9700 on Bell Mobility's HSPA Launch List

Bell 9700

BGR got hold of Bell's action-packed HSPA handset launch list, and it sports some BlackBerry Bold 9700 goodness. There are no solid details, but a shipping date of October 30th and launch date of November are listed. It looks like the 9700 will go run you $399.95 on contract, or $599.95 retail. Not wanting to be outdone, the Bold 9000 makes an appearance on the list as well. It seems to me like the Storm2 and 9700 are fighting for the spotlight, and with all the hype about the Storm2, I think most would say the 9700 is the most anticipated.

Hi Guys.. I just got off the phone with Roger Blackberry tech support and was told that they will be having the unit in about 2-3 weeks. So it looks like Rogers and Bell will be competing for you new BOLD desires.

The 9700 is no doubt going to be release on Rogers...I am an extreme skeptic when it comes to Bell and thier new network...whats happens when you're not in thier HSPA coverage it will not default to the non existent edge it will be droppped unless they were to add a CDMA radio to each device...Rogers has its faults but as far as coverage I would stick with them!

Have been with Bell Mobility for many years. Although, have experienced the occasional problem with phone service, can honestly say that I strongly recommend Bell as a carrier.

Am waiting for release of BB 9700 BOLD (Onyx).
