While many thought the much anticipated BlackBerry Bold would make its debut in the US around the same time as the iPhone 3G, it’s still yet to happen. Interestingly enough, the device was launched recently on the Movistar network in Chile. Why Chile? It’s not exactly clear.
While it should be available some time next month for AT&T here in the states, Movistar’s website is boasting that their offering of the Bold is “Primero en el mundo,” or the First in the World. It was likely a ploy to get the Bold introduced before competing wireless companies came out with their signature devices, most notably the iPhone for Chilean consumers on the Claro network.
BlackBerry fans have been waiting for the Bold for a long time, ever since being introduced way back in October of last year. It’s destined to be the ultimate Blackberry since it finally features everything long-time users have been waiting for such as 3G access, a great high resolution screen, and clean styling all finally available on a BlackBerry.
