For those who have been checking out T-Mobile’s public release of the new BlackBerry Bold 9700, hold your horses – AT&T’s offer is coming soon. Business customers can already get their mitts on the next generation BlackBerry Bold immediately, but AT&T’s public availability for the 9700 has been announced for November 22. The $199.99 on-contract price point remains identical to T-Mobile, and the device itself keeps all the same fixings, like 3.2 megapixel camera, 480 x 360 display, 256 MB of application memory, slim form factor, and snazzy new optical trackpad. If you’re on AT&T and looking to pick this up, mark November 22 on your calendar, and keep an eye out for our review of the device this week!
