After months of waiting and a week at T-Mobile, the Bold 9700 can be had at AT&T. For $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate (new two-year agreement required), it’s a fantastic upgrade to the Bold 9000.
On the fence? Can’t decide whether to get it or not? Hit the forums for advice!
The good news? If you’re an AT&T Premier business customer (meaning that you have a FAN, or “Foundation Account Number” on your account), you can purchase the Bold 9700 online today. Reports are already coming in saying that the device is shipping from AT&T’s various warehouses. The price shown above is reflective of my Premier discount; your cost may vary depending on the deal negotiated with your institution.
The bad news? The deal is only available for Premier customers – consumers still have to wait until November 22nd.
More to come as the news breaks.
After months of waiting, the carrier’s first 3G BlackBerry is available for purchase. Coming in at $199.99 on an Even More plan (which, just to refresh your memory, entails a two-year agreement) or $449.99 on an Even More Plus plan, the Bold 9700 is equipped with features like a 3.2-megapixel camera, OS 5.0, and Wi-Fi. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you – the picture above is the Curve 8900 (looks like someone in the website department hasn’t updated the picture quite yet).
