BlackBerry Bold 9700 announced, launching globally starting next month Source [Engdadget]
Properly replacing one of the most popular, recognizable BlackBerrys ever made is no easy task for RIM, but it looks like they've done a respectable job in officially announcing the Bold 9700, a device we've seen rumored as the "Onyx" through much of 2009. The new model gently massages the original Bold's time-tested formula by moving the camera up to 3.2 megapixels, giving the screen another 40 lines of vertical resolution (480 x 360, up from 480 x 320), and shipping with the brand new BlackBerry OS 5.0 out of the gate. Also notable is that the 9700 replaces the trackball with an optical trackpad --continuing a trend started by the Curve 8520 -- and will ship in both 900 / 1700 / 2100 and 800 / 850 / 1900 / 2100MHz 3G varieties, making the phone a perfect fit for AT&T, T-Mobile, and a multitude of networks in Canada and Europe. RIM isn't announcing specific carrier availability, but they're teasing that it'll be coming on "carriers around the world" starting in November.

I just talked to my AT&T account executive this morning about it, she couldn't give me a release date. I can't wait to try one out, tired of the trackball getting lint under it.
I'm loving the size of my Tour though. So far I've owned every blackberry model that has come out since the original Pearl, with exception of the POS Storm.

Not including the White Bold that AT&T released this week, Verizon has the newest Blackberry on the market- the Tour. Check it out.
