14 DAY TRIAL // Mobilicity has just announced that one of the best BlackBerry 7 smartphones, Bold 9900 is now available for purchase.
The carrier tweeted the confirmation just moments ago, but the phone has yet to show up online or in-stores: “Today is the day you've been waiting for, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is now available @Mobilicity.”
Although BlackBerry Bold was unveiled earlier this spring, Research in Motion came forward with the phone's full specs sheet in August when the phone was announced along with Torch 9810 and Torch 9860.
Mobilicity is one of the last carriers to offer the Bold 9900, but better late than never. Still, customers may be in for a nice surprise if the operator tags it with an exceptional price.
BlackBerry Bold 9900 made quite an appearance at this year's IFA trade fair as well. Softpedia had the chance to play a bit with the smartphone and we even made a short video showing the Bold 9900 in action.
