Looks like my bud David over at TMoNews has managed to get his hands on some pricing sheets for the BlackBerry 9700 and Samsung Behold II. The 9700 will run you $449.99 or $22.50/mth on no contract, or $199.99 on a 2-year deal. The Behold II will run you, well, exactly the same amounts.
There has been some waffling back and forth as to release dates on the T-Mobile Bold 9700, but the latest I’ve heard is November 16th. Not far away. As for the Behold II, November 18th is looking realistic.
Which would I choose? No question, the Bold 9700 FTW. That is, unless, you really dig the uber confusing TouchWiz ‘cube’ UI packed into the Behold II. If that’s the case for you, purchase, and enjoy 🙂
