It’s Official: RIM Introduces The BlackBerry Bold 9700

BlackBerry users…rejoice! You knew it was coming, and now it is official. Today RIM introduced the BlackBerry Bold 9700 to the world. In addition to its great new looks, the new and improved Bold will feature a 624 MHz processor, 256 MB Flash memory, built-in GPS and Wi-Fi® and a 3.2MP camera.

The high-resolution display features over 65,000 colors. The new trackpad will undoubtedly be a refreshing upgrade to the trackball, which has a tendency to get stuck.

AT&T and T-Mobile were among the few carriers that also announced they would be carrying the phone sometime in November. For more information and a list of features on the 9700, visit blackberry.com/bold9700.

Stephen Colbert Explains The History Behind The AT&T Name

Remember my post about Cingular changing its name to AT&T, which was announced immediately after it was named the exclusive provider for the Apple iPhone? Well, Steve Colbert does an excellent job of explaining the rich history behind the company name and even gives us a Kramer-like reco at the end. Geez…it’s so hard to promote the ridicule of a company that is based in my fair city, but they asked for it. Steve, take it away!
