The new Bold 9700 is definitely getting ready for an imminent launch on Rogers, but that doesn’t mean the old 9000 is going to be left in the dust – in fact, it’s getting two updates in the near future. Enterprise sales inventory show the white and cameraless models will be finding their way up north, both of which we’ve seen in action on AT&T. Hopefully the new versions will be accompanied with price cuts, since the 9000 is still running for a relatively steep $249.99. As for a date, it’s assumed that these will launch alongside the new Bold 9700 around November 4, but we’ll be finding out for sure soon enough.
