RIM officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9700 today and word is that the device will be available on AT&T and T-Mobile USA for $199 after $100 mail-in rebate. If you’re keeping track, this means that the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be cheaper than its predecessor at launch date.

I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I’m oddly drawn to this white version of the BlackBerry Bold. If I had this, I might not use a silicone case on it like I do with my black one.

Checking voicemail on my cellphone has always been a chore. I know in my voicemail greeting I say that you should leave your name and number, but honestly, when you do I really hate it. I hate checking and listening (and waiting) for voicemail too. That’s why AT&T’s latest upgrade for the Bold is nice because it finally brings visual voicemail to the device. As far as I know, the only other device doing such a thing is the iPhone (somebody correct me in the comments if I’m wrong), but from what I hear, it sucks on the iPhone because AT&T won’t fix some delivery problems with it.
But so far, with my limited testing, visual voicemail works quick and it saves a lot of my time. I like it! If you’ve got a BlackBerry Bold, just upgrade your OS to the latest version and you’ll have a visual voicemail button added to your home screen.

Not that I would ever get the Bold in a different color, but BGR’s photos of a suspicious looking white BlackBerry Bold is interesting. Special unit for a special occasion?

My BlackBerry Bold suffered some minor “wear and tear” over the weekend which caused some of the buttons on the keyboard to become sticky. So what did I do? I watched the handy video below on how to disassemble a BlackBerry Bold and cleaned the unit on my own rather than sending it in for repair/replacement.
I love that practically every single part of a BlackBerry is user-replaceable. If I broke anything other than the main chip board on the Bold, I could easily buy the part to replace it and open my device back up again to get it working.
Here are some close-up images of the cleaning process.

This is pretty funny. Also, Kevin Spacey tweets on a BlackBerry Bold.
