T-Mobile has made the official announcement that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone will launch for $299 after a $50 mail-in-rebate

We now have a date that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 NFC phone will launch on T-Mobile US, which is August 31st. Before the celebrations begin, however, you should probably consider whether $350 minus a $50 mail-in-rebate is a little steep for your tastes or for that of your wallet.

Bell Canada to launch Blackberry Bold 9900 NFC phone in late August

Bell Canada is getting ready to launch the NFC Blackberry Bold 9900 flagship phone at the end of August, according to a leaked ad. Just a few days after learning that the Blackberry Bold 9900 would launch in the UK on September 15th, thanks to Amazon UK, we find out RIM will be bringing the 9900 series NFC goodness to its homeland first thanks to Bell.

Bell Canada, Blackberry Bold 9900 NFC phone and more within the next couple of months

Bell Canada may be getting the Blackberry Bold 9900 NFC phone, but it’s not the only desirable phone the network will be carrying. Let’s face it – Bell Canada hasn’t always been known for its bleeding edge selection of phones, but that could change over the next few months. The Blackberry Bold 9900 will be joined by some of its brethren in the form of the BB Curve 9360(September), the Torch 9860 (late August) and the Torch 9810 (late August). The network has also just launched the HTC Sensation, and as we reported this last week, July 14th is the date that the Samsung Galaxy S II superphone will be released.
