[Thanks, augur]

Got an AT&T Premier account at your disposal? Does your nine to five require you to wear a suit on every day that ends in “y?” If you’re nodding your head and simultaneously thinking about just how tight that top button is around your neck, there’s a decent chance that you can get AT&T’s version of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 right now. ‘Course, those on T-Mobile have already been enjoying the spoils for a few hours now, but judging by the unboxing shots in the read link, that window of US exclusivity looks to be all but shut.
