BlackBerry Bold 2 coming to AT&T and T-Mobile October 21st

Screw the white BlackBerry Bold, Engadget is reporting that the update to the Bold, the BlackBerry Bold 2 (9700), will be coming out for AT&T and T-Mobile on October 21st.

I now have 3 choices:

  1. Break my current contract and get this phone when it comes out on T-Mobile/AT&T
  2. Wait for the Storm 2 to come to AT&T and upgrade my current phone
  3. Switch to Verizon and get the Storm 2

I see pros and cons for all three choices and to narrow things down, I am keeping it simple.

New BlackBerry Bold OS update allows you to choose 2G network mode

For those of us with an AT&T-branded BlackBerry Bold (9000), you’ll know how annoying it is that you cannot choose which network mode you want to be on. By default, the BlackBerry OS on the Bold is set to 3G which drastically reduces battery life because the Bold is constantly searching for the strongest 3G signal — even when the 3G signal is non-existent or just flat-out sucks.

But with the newest Bold OS update (4.6.0.282), you can now choose to be on 2G only which will help improve battery life if all you’re doing is BBMing where a fast network speed isn’t necessarily needed.

Wow, with the obvious choice in the middle, I don’t understand why anybody would purchase from either iTunes or Amazon.com.
