DALLAS, USA - Announced today, AT&T Mobile is offering great deals on BlackBerry smartphones just in time for the holiday gift giving season.

These deals are for a limited time only, with a two-year contract, mail-in rebate, and some other terms and restrictions may apply. A sample is the new Bold 9700, at US$99.99; the new Curve 8900, at US$74.99, and six more options.

This pricing scheme should drive BlackBerry sales for the fourth quarter, following a strong third quarter that had BlackBerry devices in three out of the top five smartphone sellers.
