Today is Bold Day for T-Mobile customers. If you haven't heard, the 9700 is now available for purchase nationwide for new and existing customers. However, if $199 and a two-year contract are too rich for your blood, head on over to Wal-Mart to get it for $99.99 instead. Sort of.
Until the 21st of November, Wal-Mart is running a deal where you get a $100 Wal-Mart gift card if you purchase any of their BlackBerrys with a two-year contract. The catch is, you won't really get the card for about four to six weeks, so you'll still have to pay $199 at the time of purchase.
In spite of that, this is still a pretty good deal. If you purchase your phone at Wal-Mart instead of from T-Mobile, you'll get the $100 back just in time to do a little bit of Christmas shopping!
