This doesn't make sense if RIM is gonna push off the bold for the Thunder. Does tho if that's not so true. maybe good news for anyone who wants the bold. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! I'm soooo stoked about this news! And available on Optus too YES!

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ I can vouch for the accuracy of the article, The Australian is the major paper over here and the article looks pretty legit.

meme, I think we're still getting it first up north, but not by much - I believe we're going to have the Bold on the 26th. The impression I got from RIM at WES is that it was going to be a simultaneous international release, so it's entirely possible that the 9000 will hit plenty of other places around the globe before Canada.

hack, I'm definitely getting one. Had a fine run with this Pearl, but I miss the GPS I had with the 8800. Plus wi-fi will be awesome, considering how many apps I load up.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ With Vlingo (sorry to be off topic) if you are Aussie then you need to put on an Aerican accent, it should work a treat then. I am American, but my accent is really watered down so sometimes I have to really put it on. Also it doesn't understand Aussie-isms. So if you want to put a full stop at the end of a sentence you have to say "period," etc. Pin me if you have any other queries mate!

unveiling and availability are 2 different matters entirely.

it doesnt really mention we can get them on july 29. so i think the late august/september is still pretty accurate for us aussies
