T-Mobile has just announced that RIM’s latest BlackBerry Bold 9900 will be coming to America’s largest 4G network beginning August 31. The device will cost $299.99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) with a two-year contract, and lucky business customers can take advantage of the pre-sale and begin purchasing the 9900 from today.
As for specifications, the device is identical to that reviewed by our own Jon Rettinger on Monday, minus that Rogers logo beneath the keyboard, of course. Jon firmly believes this is RIM’s best BlackBerry yet — choosing to use the device over Apple’s iPhone 4 and Google Android smartphones.
So what makes this device the best BlackBerry yet? Well, in addition to those 4G capabilities and BlackBerry’s latest operating system, its impressive list of specifications make it fast, functional and stylish.

With the new BlackBerry Bold 9900, we are offering our socially-active and business-minded customers a powerful device with a unique proposition — the pairing of a nationwide 4G network with the mobile communications efficiency that has become synonymous with BlackBerry smartphones.”
