We saw the first leak of BlackBerry 6 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 back in November of 2010. Shortly after that, official versions of BlackBerry 6 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 started to appear on various carriers around world, less T-Mobile, which took what seemed like an unusually long time to release an the update to their branded Bold 9700.
That being said, BlackBerry 6 is now officially available for the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9700. I know for a fact that many T-Mobile users have long since updated their devices to BlackBerry 6 either with a leaked version, or, another carriers released version of BlackBerry 6, but, if you’ve been waiting to get an officially release update to BlackBerry 6 for your T-Mobile Bold 9700, your wait is over.

If you are a classic web bargain shopper then finding a replacement battery door cover for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 for $1.68 is a decent deal. I recently saw a friend with duct tape on his blackberry to keep the battery in-place after the cover was lost. Like you I struggle to understand why anyone would consider duct tape on a smartphone a viable solution. Regardless we found a replacement Battery cover for $1.68 + $4.69 shipping. Despite the higher shipping cost the total cost was lower than other places.

Many AT&T BlackBerry users have been wondering what the delay on the AT&T branded version of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is seeing how the device has been available on T-Mobile since mid November of last year. Rumor has it, however, that AT&T may skip over the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and go straight to the, yet to be officially announced, BlackBerry Dakota…
Fudzilla is reporting that its sources are stating that AT&T is move the last of it’s BlackBerry Bold 9700 inventory and that it has no intention on ordering more.
The new Bold, or Dakota if you will, is a bit closer than we were first led to believe. Apparently from the whispers we hear, AT&T could have the new member of the Bold family on the shelf for sale as soon as early or mid-spring, but significant quantity is likely not expected at the store and authorized reseller level till very early summer.
If the release scale for the BlackBerry Dakota, the first QWERTY BlackBerry with a fixed touchscreen, is accurate the rumor that AT&T may forgo the BlackBerry 9780 seems very plausible. This seems to be the route that Verizon took with the BlackBerry Storm 9750, deciding to hold off on the device possibly for the rumored BlackBerry Monaco.
