That ain’t a knife… that’s a BlackBerry 9700! That’s exactly what Paul Hogan will say, the moment he walks into a Telstra store in Australia. At least that’s the event playing out in my head at the moment. Oh, that’d be awesome.

Why all the Crocodile Dundee nonsense? Because the Australian carrier Telstra has launched the BlackBerry Bold 9700 of course! Australians can now get their hands on the latest edition of the Bold, for a whopping $999 Australian dollars. Just a tad expensive, for sure… However keep in mind that Telstra allows repayment over a period of two years.

To all of my Australian friends out there… Are you really going to pick up the new Bold for $999? Too expensive for your blood, or is this just the way things roll down under?

Head over to Telstra for more reading. If you’re into that.
