AT&T and T-Mobile customers have a little bit to wait yet before they can clamp down on a 9700 of their own, but Rogers — which has a history of being in the VIP section for new BlackBerry launches — has already brought the new Bold flavor to market. RIM’s latest high-end full QWERTY device will run you CAD $299.99 (about $281) on a three-year contract, scaling all the way up to CAD $599.99 (about $563) commitment-free — so needless to say, you have to really want this thing. The original Bold’s running CAD $99.99 on contract, so depending on what you’re looking for (read: you’re not a rabid early adopter like we are), that could come out the better deal.
