UK Recap: who, what, and where for the Blackberry Bold
By Ben Robinson on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 12:38 PM PST In O2, Orange, RIM (Research in Motion), T-Mobile, Three, Vodafone
As Dusan previously reported (here and here), the Blackberry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold 9000 (RIMs new HSPA email uber-phone) is now for sale with Orange and Vodafone in the UK. But where else can you get it?
Well apparently, 3 is going to be carrying it in November. That only leaves T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) and O2 (NYSE: TEF), who we’ve not really heard a peep from. Previous rumours suggested sometime in Q3 for the Operators, but right now the the respective websites only have the 8110 and 8310 listed.
Of course, another strategy you can employ is to go SIM-free - sure it will hurt your wallet in the short-term, but at least you are not going to be locked in to a longer contract that you already have. In that case, you can wander on over to Expansys, where the device is currently £619.99 (correct at time of posting).
Whichever route you decide to take, you’ll be getting a universally-acclaimed device - the screen in particular seems to have come in for endless praise - and of course, you’ll have all that Push-email goodness!
