Vodafone has started selling the hotly-anticipated BlackBerry Bold handset in the UK, and is giving it away free if you sign up to the £35-a-month Anytime 600 data plan for two years. For that, you get 600 minutes of talk-time, unlimited texts and 500MB of data a month.
You don’t need us to tell you why the Bold has geeks so excited - 3G/HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 480×320-resolution screen, and a two-megapixel camera (okay, maybe the camera’s not so exciting). It’s traditional to refer to it as an iPhone-killer, but I’m not sure the two handsets are targeting the same market, exactly.
Indeed, if you follow Vodafone’s suggested link to www.vodafone.co.uk/bold, you fetch up at the operator’s online business shop, showing that for all its multimedia smarts, the Bold is still seen predominantly as a business handset. Either way, it’s set to spark a surge of upgrade requests from existing BlackBerry users.
