New BlackBerry Bold to Launch for AT&T, T-Mobile


Wed Oct 21, 2009 11:36 am

Research In Motion is rolling out the BlackBerry Bold 9700 -- a thinner, lighter and updated version of its high-end BlackBerry Bold smartphone -- available for AT&T and T-Mobile consumers in the coming weeks.

The Waterloo, Ontario-based company said the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is significantly smaller but keeps the same 2.4-inch displpay and 35-key QWERTY keyboard.

It features several additions including a new optical trackpad -- replacing the trackball -- improved 3.2-megapixel camera, faster browser and twice the storage with 256MB of flash memory (2GB card included).

The handset also retains the Bold's high-speed HSDPA Internet access, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as music and video features.

"We think it's a major upgrade that appeals to professionals and to consumers, both men and women," said Jim Balsillie, RIM's co-Chief Executive.

RIM said AT&T and T-Mobile will offer the new handset for $200 with a two-year contract in the coming weeks.

Last week, the company announced its BlackBerry Storm 2, a new version of its touch screen smartphone, marking its latest move in the battle with rival Apple's iPhone.
