Thanks to an email that mistakenly had no embargo date, we recently showed you an eyeful of the BlackBerry Bold/Onyx 9700. The marketing material including pictures of the device dressed smartly in T-Mobile colors, so that gave us a good idea where in the U.S. we would find at least one carrier offering the first 'Berry equipped with a 5MP camera. Now, thanks to a spy shot of Rogers upgrade system, we can see that the Bold/Onyx 9700 and the Curve 8520 will be offered by Canadian operator Rogers. Launch date and pricing is not known. With the emailed marketing material making note of more info for the 9700 coming in November, a solid guess would be that the Onyx/Bold will see a fourth quarter launch.
