14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian mobile-phone maker Research In Motion announced not too long ago the release of a new handset to the market, namely the BlackBerry Bold 9700, which is also known as the Bold 2, and now the handset is already available for purchase via various carriers around the world, including T-Mobile and now AT&T in the United States.
Wireless operator AT&T has just put the new BlackBerry device on sale for its users, and has it available for a price tag of $199.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a $100.00 mail-in rebate, which will be received in the form of an AT&T Promotion Card. Those who would like to acquire the new device without committing to a service agreement with the carrier would also be able to enjoy the Bold 2, only that they would have to pay $449.99 for the device.

The sequel comes to the market with a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper with a 2x zoom, auto focus and image stabilization, with a full 26-key keyboard for fast typing, and a 2.44-inch display that boasts a 480 x 360-pixel resolution and support for 65K colors.
