Folks! The new BlackBerry Bold 9700 formerly known as Onyx has been released!

Front of the 9700
Specifically this device has a screen resolution that is slightly higher than the already fantastic Bold 9000. The “pearl” is also gone and replaced with a new trackpad, and most importantly to me, the device is smaller than the Bold. I found that the Bold was just a little too bulky to use comfortable, and you definitly could not just drop it into your trouser pocket.
It is also shipping with the new OS5, you can read a little preview with a bunch of screenshots on 5.0.0.238, a relatively late leaked version for and idea of what it will look like on the 9700.
Now I need to get my hands on one of these, according to Mobile Tech World, we will be seeing it from several carriers in November!
Electric Pig have done a nice review on the 9700 focussing on its smaller form factor and also have a bunch more pictures if you are interested.
Anybody want to buy an unlocked 9000 in perfect condition?
