AT&T- News Room

Available "in the coming weeks" which is, unfortunately, vague.

Coming weeks? To the Death Star that means anywhere from 2 weeks, to the last week off 2009! Most likely around Black Friday if I had to guess. They need to get a move on, especially with Verizon dropping a much improved storm 2 last week, 2 big Android devices on Nov 6th, and the Curve 2 in the pipe line for the Holiday rush. And not to mention the Vzw add's and commercials about map coverage that trumps at&t's coverage. I'd say they need something for a shot in the arm right now. A new berry is just the thing!!!

I love how the white bold is now available, which makes me want to waste money on buying them both! Good timing I guess for the white bold, had the 9700 not been coming out, I probably would have bought it (white bold) even though I'm not due for an upgrade. Just saying...

I too, like any of us here, would like to see the 9700 released real soon!
