Been dying to get your hands on a white BlackBerry Bold 9700? Live in Canada? Okay with having a Rogers-branded device? Then you’re rockin’, son, because according to their latest flyers, the white Hot 97 is now available above the 49th parallel from Best Buy and Future Shop. Going for $549.99 outright and $149.99 on contract, we suggest you call ahead before scurrying on over to your local big box retailer — we imagine this thing will sell fast. (more…)
