I’ve been checking out the OtterBox website every now and then to see when they’d be adding the new line of BlackBerry smartphones accessories.  The BlackBerry Bold 9790 which hasn’t hit the United States yet is now available but only for the Commuter series.  For those unfamiliar with the Commuter, it’s the mid-grade case OtterBox has to offer which provides excellent protection without bulking your device up as much as the Defender.  The cases go for $34.95 and come as a two layer case- one hard shell on the outside, and a fancy silicone case wrapped around the device.  Click the link below to purchase your Commuter or any other OtterBox case.

Rogers Wireless in Canada just released the all new BlackBerry Bold 9790.  As far as pricing goes, you can get it as low as $99 on a 3-year contract, $349 on a 2-year contract, $399 on a 1-year contract, and $449 with no strings attached.  You can order yours online now, not sure about in store but if you drop by a Rogers store, let us know!

It looks like Rogers is getting the BlackBerry Bold 9790.  The device should be making its way to various carriers in no time!  MobileSyrup got a leaked document showing the full pricing of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 Rogers.  The pricing is as follows:

• 3-year contract: $99.99 (with a $45/monthly voice and data plan)
• 2-year contract: $349.99
• 1-year contract: $399.99
• No-contract: $449.99

With the BlackBerry Bold 9900 available, does the 9790 appeal to your interest at all? Some prefer the 9790 form factor over the larger 9900 device, but specs play a big role as well.

It looks like RIM held an event in New Delhi, India on November 24th which showed off the BlackBerry Bold 9790 and BlackBerry Curve 9380.  The folks over at BlackBerry India were on the scene and posted up some photos from the event.  Unfortunately we don’t have any details on announcements or launch dates for the devices.  Hit the jump for more photos.

Here’s a video recap of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 launch event in Indonesia which took place on November 15.  You’ll notice Jim Balsillie speaking a bit about the device on stage and a performance from some music artists (you might not know).  It’s a tough cookie now when it comes to picking up a new Bold.  Surely the Bold 9900 is far more powerful than the Bold 9790, but the form factor of the new 9790 may be favored since that’s what Berry users have been acquainted with over the years.  Which device is for you?

A week ago we saw what seems to be the last of OS 7 devices get officially announced by Research In Motion.  The devices announced were the BlackBerry Curve 9380 and the BlackBerry Bold 9790.  It looks like a consumer event is being held for the Bold 9790 in Jakarta, Indonesia on November 25th.  Here’s RIM’s note on the event:

Be the first to own the latest combination of practicality & power, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in Pacific Place, Jakarta, Indonesia, November 25th 2011. Be early, cause the first 1,000 buyer will get 50% off for a Bold 9790 purchase.

So if you want to take advantage of getting 50% off the Bold 9790 you want to make sure you make it to the event early.  This of course is only for folks in the region.

Bell is expected to pick up the recently announced BlackBerry Bold 9790 on December 2nd. So far we’ve seen nothing but Canadian carriers picking this device up, which seems to be the trend lately anyway.  A quick recap on the specs, the Bold 9790 is touchscreen with full QWERTY keyboard, has a 2.4 inch display, OS 7, 5MP camera with autofocus, NFC, and more.  There’s no word on pricing that Bell will offer for the new device but details will surface soon as we get closer to the launch date.
