Canadian wireless carrier Rogers has just added to its offering a new flavor of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone, one that came dressed up all in white.

The new mobile phone can be seen on the wireless carrier’s website here, featuring a price tag of $599.99 when purchased contract free.

Those who would rather commit to a contract agreement with the wireless carrier will find the white Bold 9900 available for $169.99 on a three-year term, or for $449.99 on a two-year contract. Users will have to get $499.99 out of their pockets on a one year deal.

The new mobile phone was the first Bold in RIM’s offering to arrive on shelves with a touchscreen display, in addition to the full QWERTY keyboard that users are already accustomed with.

Not to mention that it sports a slim body, along with a powerful 1.2GHz application processor inside, and great features powered by the new BlackBerry 7 OS from RIM.

“The thinnest-ever, BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone is beautifully built to combine the iconic BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard with a brilliant, 24-bit high-res touchscreen and precision-based optical trackpad,” Rogers notes.

“Purposeful design details meet functionality, as you benefit from the new powerful BlackBerry 7 OS; enjoy fluid touchscreen navigation with proprietary Liquid Graphics technology, 40% faster browsing with the most powerful engine to date in a BlackBerry smartphone, and so much more.

“The distinctive BlackBerry Bold 9900 delivers incredible performance and effortless style - in one slim device.”

The handset comes with 8GB of internal memory, along with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage, as well as with great connectivity capabilities, including 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth.

On the back, it sports a 5-megapixel photo snapper with support for HD video recording, and can also enable users to enjoy multimedia files while on the go.
