The company has been promising it for months, but after endless 'testing' delays, the BlackBerry Bold is now available on T-Mobile in the UK. Just don't expect to see it on the shelves. Or indeed online.
Yes, strangely, the launch for this much sought-after device seems to have been pretty muted. We were told initial stock arrived and sold through earlier this week, with more stock promised for 'the next few days'. Maybe then we'll see the big press launch and more importantly, the option to buy one online or instore.
The device is said to have finally passed all of T-Mobile's quality tests, which hopefully means the '3G concerns' that saw it pulled by Orange (as well as 3) have now been sorted. But you can't blame T-Mobile for treading warily for the first couple of weeks. If you want one, we suggest you give the network a call. It's priced from free depending on your choice of tariff/contract.
