T-Mobiles BlackBerry Bold 9780 Release Date Revealed

Yet another leak out of T-Mobile USA concerning the BlackBerry Bold 9780: The release date appears to be Nov. 17.

Two weeks ago, pricing information also emerged. The new BlackBerry, which will sport the BlackBerry OS 6, will cost at least $400 thats the dealer cost. Operators could add a premium to the number.

Further, according to some reports, Verizon Wireless will get its hands on the device soon, giving T-Mobile some not-so-desired competition for customers.

The BlackBerry 9780 will replace the BlackBerry 9700; it comes with 512MB RAM, a 624MHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, and other features.

Research In Motion is hoping this latest device will help it regain momentum in the smartphone marketplace. Once the dominant mobile device-maker, Research In Motion has steadily lost standing to Apples iPhone and Google Android-powered handsets.
