Great news, we have this on good authority that both T-Mobile and AT&T are about to announce the Bold 2 otherwise known as the Onyx on October 21st.

Just to remind you this will be a touchpad driven item, with a model number of 9700 that has been spotted making the usual rounds over the past couple of months. A great successor to the device that virtually every single celebrity has been at least photographed either carrying one at one point or another.

So far, no detail are about regarding the price yet or the launch date, but at least it does give us a target for when to expect those details, clean up that Bold Trackball as you may well be advertising it on eBay very shortly. Source –engadgetmobile.com
