AT&T & Rogers Also Announce BlackBerry Bold 9700
RIM PR were kind enough to point out that AT&T has also officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9700 along with Rogers Canada. AT&T is saying that it will be “available in the coming weeks” for $199 after $100 rebate. You can register to be notified of updates at this link for AT&T. Rogers has also made their announcement saying that the Bold 9700 will be available in the “coming weeks” for $299.99 with a 3 year voice and data activation of $45+.
Anybody else wondering what “coming weeks” really means? More than one week but less than a month? Especially since RIM’s announcement pegs the launches to start in November.
