Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion announced only a few weeks ago the upcoming availability of BlackBerry Bold 9700, also known around the world as the BlackBerry Bold 2 or Onyx, and now Canadian carrier Rogers Wireless has the device available for purchase on its website. Priced at $299.99 upon the signing of a three-year contract agreement with the carrier, the new mobile phone can be seen on Rogers' website here.

The phone is available for purchase with selected plans, announced the wireless operator, and users can also opt for the signing of a two-year contract agreement, paying $499.99 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, or for a one-year contract, case in which the handset will cost $549.99. At the same time, the carrier also enables its subscribers to acquire the new handset on a monthly plan, paying $549.99 for the Bold 2, or free of contract, yet they will have to pay $599.99 for it in this case.

“The BlackBerry Bold 9700 offers sophisticated design coupled with high-performance features to offer users a premium smartphone experience. This 3G smartphone ensures you will receive your emails quickly and reliably. The new optical trackpad ensures easy navigation and the multimedia capabilities mean you can have fun and stay connected to the office. The Bold 9700 allows users to live their personal and professional lives to the fullest through power and performance,” is what the carrier has to say about the phone.

For what it’s worth, the new Bold from RIM is set to deliver both already popular features of the Bold, as well as a series of new features when compared to the older version, including built-in Wi-Fi, support for download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, a large screen, built-in GPS receiver, a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper with video recording capabilities, Stereo Bluetooth, Quad Band EDGE and Tri band HSPA connectivity, Multimedia Player, and more.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is also expected to make it into Bell and Telus' offering in the very near future, namely on November 4 for the former, and November 5 for the latter, the very same days they will fire up their new HSPA networks.
