BlackBerry Bold 9700, also known as the BlackBerry Bold 2, is reportedly getting ready to come to the market in the United States sometime during November, yet it seems that far later than when it will arrive in Canada. While Rogers has already put the phone on sale, and Bell and Telus are expected to make the same move during the following two days, T-Mobile in the US seems set to deliver the handset to its users only in late November.

Only a few days ago did we learn that the carrier might actually launch the new handset from Research In Motion on November 16, yet now we hear that the release date might have been pushed back even more, and that November 18 would be the actual launch day. For the time being, however, nothing is official, and the sequel might actually arrive sooner on T-Mobile's airwaves.

According to a recent post on IntoMobile, the mobile phone carrier has already started the training of its employees on the new BlackBerry Bold 9700, which shows that things are moving into the right direction. Moreover, the handset can already be seen on T-Mobile's website, which might suggest that it should soon make it available for pre-order, yet this is still in the rumor side for the time being.

In case some of you might not remember, some of the previous rumors on the availability of BlackBerry Bold 2 suggested that mid-November would be the launch window for it. However, considering that Canadians can already purchase the handset from one carrier and that they will soon be able to do so from three of them, the phone should come towards the US market even sooner than expected.

Research In Motion has just brought to the light two new handsets, both of them sequels, the Storm 2 and Bold 2, and it might want to have them available for purchase as soon as possible, so as to counterattack the avalanche of Android handsets the market has been seeing lately. Stay tuned for more details on this.
