Wireless carrier T-Mobile USA has just operated a price cut to one of the nicest handsets in its offering, the Flash White colored BlackBerry Bold 9700. Available for purchase for only $99.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement, the device comes to the market with high-end technology to keep users connected at all times with people that matter most for them.

The white version of BlackBerry Bold 9700 was recently released in Canada, and now users in the United States can also benefit from the new version of one of the most popular device that RIM brought to the market last year. Rumors on handset's availability at T-Mobile emerged into the wild a while ago, and now all is official.

“This premium device gives me the cutting edge technology to keep me productive and 'in the know' in work and life when I am away from my computer without trading off style,” the wireless carrier notes on its website. Beside the contract options, users can also purchase the handset with Even More Plus plans from T-Mobile, case in which they would have to pay $449.99 for the phone. More info can be found on the carrier's website here.

In related news, we learn that T-Mobile is set to make the first Android-powered smartphone that sports Garmin GPS navigation capabilities, the Garminfone, available for purchase come June 9. Those who would like to benefit from the functionality of this handset will be able to get it for $199.99 starting with that day on, though a two-year contract agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate are included in the equation.

What the device can deliver to users in terms of GPS navigation includes: - Voice-guided and on-screen directions with automatic rerouting - Real-time traffic, weather, ETA, and gas prices - Thousands of downloadable apps from Android Market - Access to personal and work e-mail, IM, and text messaging.
