BlackBerry Bold 9700 is now available for purchase in Canada all dressed up in white. The handset is available via Best Buy and Future Shop, and can be purchased with a three-year contract agreement with Rogers. All the features and capabilities of the original Blackberry Bold 9700 are present in the package, and the handset is expected to soon prove a popular phone, especially since Best Buy says it is already sold out.

Those who would like to get the white BlackBerry Bold 9700 can have it for $149.99 on a three year contract agreement with Rogers, or can purchase it without contract for $549.99. According to handset's page on Best Buy, which lists it as sold out, the new white BlackBerry Bold 9700 is not available in stores either. Unfortunately, no information on when the device is back in stock has emerged so far.
