A few weeks ago when we reported that Bell and TELUS were launching their new combined 3G HSDPA ahead of time it was 
also a day when the monopoly on the Apply iPhone that Rogers held for years was put to rest. Yesterday all three carriers (Bell, Rogers and TELUS) announce they are each going to be offering the Blackberry Bold 9700 from Research In Motion (RIM).
Cool features of the Blackberry Bold 9700
- 3.2 MP camera with variable zoom, autofocus, flash and video recording
- microSD/SDHD memory card slot that supports up to 16 GB cards; a 2GB card is
included - Media player for videos, pictures and music
- full QWERTY keyboard Built-in Wi-Fi
