Research In Motion's upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9700 has come to surface more and more often in the news, and more new images with it have made it into the wild today, showing that the yet unannounced mobile phone might soon make an appearance in AT&T's offering. A video is also available for your viewing pleasure, providing a few more details on a device that seems to become one of the nicest BlackBerries launched on the market until now.

The new series of images available with the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (also known as Bold II or BlackBerry Onyx) emerged from Tinhte.com, and some of them seem quite attractive, especially since the upcoming device is compared with already existing models on the market, including Bold 9000, Curve 8900 and Curve 8520. Take a look at the images below and at the video that comes along with them to learn more on this.

In the meantime, we should note a few more interesting details that emerged along with the images, such as the fact that this BlackBerry Bold 9700, which posed for the camera in Vietnam, is getting ready to make an appearance on AT&T's website. While nothing official has been said until now, one can easily see the AT&T splash-screen on the device's display in one of the new images, as well as the nice battery cover or the trackpad Bold II is supposed to come to the market with.

For what it's worth, AT&T won't be the only North American operator to have the device in the near future, as Bell also lined up to get it. A recently leaked shot of Bell’s internal systems shows BlackBerry Bold 9700 being prepared for launch with a $599 price tag on it. No details on when the launch will take place surfaced, yet one thing is certain at the moment, it seems, namely the fact that Bold II will come to Bell along with Curve 8530, which is expected to cost $499 off-contract. Stay tuned to learn more details on this.
