AT&T to offer BlackBerry Bold in White? Bold/Onyx 9700 shows up again

A screen shot from an AT&T computer shows that the carrier appears ready to offer the BlackBerry Bold 9000 in white. If you recall, back in August we showed you parts from a white Bold that was undergoing testing at Canada's York University. Now we have a little more proof thanks to these screen shots obtained by BGR. The same batch of photos also shows that the BlackBerry Bold/Onyx 9700 is in the wireless operator's system as well, in charcoal. The 9700 is expected to refresh the Bold with an optical trackpad and a fresher version of the BlackBerry OS. Our last word on a launch date said to expect the Storm 2 to get the first shot at being released, followed by the 9700 sometime in mid-November.
