The BlackBerry Bold 9700 has been launched today by T-Mobile. The sequel to the first 3G packing 'Berry is offered for $199.99 after a $250 Instant Discount and a 2 year contract using the "Even More" plan. For those who want to finance the handset, the "Even More Plus" plan will charge you $449.99 for the handset. You would pay that figure divided by 20 months with no interest added. That would work out to about $22 per month. This is the first BlackBerry to support AWS 3G and comes with a HVGA+ display measuring 2.44 inches, a 3.2MP camera with flash and the optical trackpad that is a staple of the newer 'Berry models. The device sports the BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard version last seen on the Tour 9630. If you are planning on heading over to T-Mobile to pick one of these puppies up, or if you are getting ready to order online, check out our review of the Bold 9700.
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
