Blackberry Bold 9700 announced


Officially announced by RIM, the Blackberry Bold 9700 is going  to be available worldwide through different carriers around the world by November.  Long rumored as the onyx, this Blackberry Bold 9700 is a fit successor of the well loved Bold 9000.   The new screen resolution is 480 x 360 up from 480 x 320.  Continuing what has started  with the Blackberry 8520, navigation is now via the optical trackpad.  The new spanking OS 5.0 is on board out of the box. Camera is now 3.2 megapixels. Some teaser video after the jump.

Update:  The Bold 9700 and the Bold before it both features 624 Mhz core and now the MicroSD is hot-swappable.

I expect the new Bold to be available both in Smart and Globe just like in the previous Bold 9000.  Smart should be announcing this sometime in December, maybe just in time for your Christmas wish list shopping. If you have  second thoughts on that Nokia N97,or waiting hopefully for Nokia N900,  holding it off a bit more will be a good decision.
