It took a while, but finally T-Mobile has rolled out the BlackBerry OS 6 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone, although this news doesn’t come from T-Mobile officially. The update has not yet gone live on their website, but Bold 9700 owners who connect to BlackBerry Desktop on their PCs should be able to install it without a problem.

This release build is version 6.0.0.448, and is the first version of OS 6 made available to Bold 9700 users via T-Mobile. So the wait is over.

There’s no official confirmation on this one yet, but a leaked screenshot would seem to indicate that T-Mobile subscribers will be able to pick up the elusive white version of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 on May 5th.

The color is albino, but the specifications are still the same. You only have to worry about whether you want it in white or black. Choose wisely.

Colorware is at it again. They just won’t rest until every gadget has been touched by their brushes. Now, if you want your BlackBerry Bold 9700 to stand out from the crowd, they will take care of that too.

You can buy the phone directly from them or you can send in your existing phone for them to work their magic on. Why not add some more color into your life?

It ain’t easy getting all of the cool toys you want in this economy. But Walmart aims to make it a little easier if you’ve been waiting to get a BlackBerry 9700 on Monday. The outfit is currently running a promotion from November 14th to the 20th where you’ll get a $100 Walmart gift card with every BlackBerry purchase.

No, it isn’t actual cash and it will take 4 to 6 weeks to get the card, but it’s still a sweet deal. And it’s as close as you’ll come to getting the BlackBerry 9700 for $99.99. Just be aware that the 2-year T-Mobile contract still applies. Consider it an early Christmas gift.
