BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone heading to T-Mobile this month

We have known it has been coming forever, but the BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone may finally have a release date on T-Mobile in the US. The date in question is August 31st and the NFC phone will be the first BlackBerry to support T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network, so you can expect 4G-ish speeds from the BlackBerry Bold 9900. Amazon already posted a UK release date of the 15th of September for Brits, but until now we have been in the dark as to when the latest BlackBerry would head Stateside. This latest rumor is based on a clipping from a larger T-Mobile document and gave us the launch date but unfortunately no pricing was visible.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone may launch with a $50 rebate

The leaked document that gave us the release date for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 also offered another nugget of information suggesting that consumers could get a $50 rebate on the NFC phone if the correct plan was chosen. We don’t have an image of this document so it is hard to confirm this rumor at the moment. However, the details seem to check out when we consider more concrete information we have about the BlackBerry Bold 9900 being released in other countries. RIM is releasing a few new phones in the next month or so, and whereas they have taken a beating from other phone manufacturers of late it does appear that they are coming back all guns blazing. Certainly, when it comes to its NFC phone portfolio they will be matching Nokia in terms of handsets in the market. It has certainly been a BlackBerry news day today. We say keep it coming!

If you have been waiting for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone, it looks today as if your long, long wait may finally be coming to an end. Check out the full specifications for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone below.
