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.
