The 3G, Wi-FI capable GSM phone will be heading to carriers around the world in the next few weeks, making stops at both AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States.
The BlackBerry Bold basically combines all the features of the BlackBerry Curve, but adds 3G and a new touch sensitive trackpad. The new BlackBerry Bold also has a faster processor and more memory than other models, plus a 3.2MP camera and GPS.
AT&T users can use the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 at all AT&T hot-spots -- including Starbucks -- just like you can on the iPhone. AT&T will also be offering a separate tethering plan for users who want to use the BlackBerry Bold 9700 as a 3G modem.
