Good news to all Canadians who are in love with everything BlackBerry. Rogers Wireless has started selling BlackBerry’s BlackBerry Bold 9700 online available at $299.99 for a 3 year voice and data plan. Now that is nifty! For those who do not like strings attached, get the BlackBerry Bold 9700 at $599.99 at Rogers.

HSPA newcomers TELUS and Bell will also be offering the BlackBerry Bold 9700. Rumor had it that the new phone will have its Bell and TELUS launch when the two networks launch themselves in the Canadian market. Bell was rumored to start carrying iPhones and BlackBerrys in early November and it has been confirmed because it has already happened with Bell l launching November 4th -thank goodness for news from the grapevine. TELUS’ launch is rumored to be November 5th just a day after Bell’s.

The TELUS website has confirmed this and has announced their launch for November 5 -the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will of course be available.

As far as prices are concerned, Rogers’ no strings attached of about $600 is costly compared to T-Mobile’s $200 offer. This however is not bothersome since as all Canadians know, Rogers Wireless has the largest coverage all over Canada. Rogers Wireless has comprehensive plans -from business plans to personal plans to family plans and anything else in between that will fit your family’s and your lifestyle.

What is the BlackBerry 9700?

For those who are not yet familiar with this newest craze in the cell phone scene, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is Wi-Fi ready, has 3G support and it runs on the newest BlackBerry Operating System 5.0. The resolution display is 480 x 360 -it is one of the phone’s defining features apart from its TeleNav GPS Navigator that will guide its user turn by turn. It also has a 3.2 megapixel cam, a 256MB flash memory, and a 624MHz processor.
