Bell launches HSPA Network – BlackBerry Bold 9000 & 9700 Now Available
Bell has officially rolled out their new HSPA network across Canada, and with that launch came two new BlackBerry smartphones. Bell has launched the classic BlackBerry Bold 9000, as well the new Bold 9700. Both should be available in stores starting today. Pricing starts $249 with three year term for the Bold 9000, and $229 with three year term for the Bold 9700. Something seems a little odd with the Bold 9000 pricing, as its listed higher than the new Bold. Stay tuned we’re looking into that. Meanwhile check out all the details and plans at Bell.ca.
BlackBerry Bold 9700 Now Available from Rogers!
As you may know all three major Canadian networks are getting set to launch the BlackBerry Bold 9700 this week. Rogers seems to have jumped on the ship first, being the first network to officially release it. Starting today you pick up the Bold 9700 for $299 with three year term, or $599 without. The new Bold features high resolution display, with full QWERTY keyboard, trackpad navigation, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3.2 megapixel camera, and operates on RIM’s new OS 5.0. Head on over to Rogers.com for more details.
Also watch for launches from Bell and TELUS this week…
BlackBerry Bold 9700 starts making it’s way to Rogers stores
Looks like Rogers might be the first to launch the BlackBerry Bold 9700 in Canada! Tips have started to arrive that a select bunch of Rogers stores have started to receive their Bold 9700 stock. We still haven’t heard officially from Rogers when they plan to launch the device, but we most likely will hear something this week. Apparently pricing is expected to be $299 with three year term, or $599 without contract. So sit back and wait a few more days before the official launch.

TELUS officially announces BlackBerry Bold 9700 is Coming in November
We don’t know why TELUS was a little behind in the news yesterday, but they got around to announcing the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is coming soon. TELUS plans to release the new Bold 9700 with their HSPA network, along side Bell early next month. TELUS joins most of the larger networks in North America with this launch. No pricing or exact release date has been announced as of yet. Rogers is expceted to release this device at $299 with three year term, we imagine TELUS will come in a little cheaper. Stay tuned for us to get more details.
TELUS also confirmed for BlackBerry Bold 9700 in November
It only seems right after 4 of the major networks in North America confirmed they would be getting the new Bold, that TELUS did the same. Our friends over at MobileSyrup has confirmed that TELUS will be launching the new Bold 9700 to go hand and hand with their HSPA network next month. Unfortuantly there is no word on pricing yet, however earlier today Rogers did say when they launch the 9700 it will run you about $299 with three year term. Either way we still are yet to see an official press release from TELUS. Stay tuned when we do find one…

The Mobile Ninjas managed to score a couple great shots of the un-released BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Onyx) and Apple iPhone running on TELUS’ new HSPA network. Recently TELUS announced that they would be launching their new HSPA network this November, and that it would cover 93% of Canada. Even though they announced the network they have been fairly quiet on what devices they plan to release. All we know officially is that TELUS will get the iPhone, and hopefully they will follow Bell and launch the Bold 9700. Anyway enjoy a these two quick pics of the TELUS network up and going.
