The half-VGA (480×320 resolution) iPhone-killing BlackBerry Bold 9000 series is ready for launch on T-mobile Germany and Austria.  According to the press release release from T-mobile and RIM, the wireless carrier will be releasing the BlackBerry Bold 9000 sometime this week specifically for customers using T-Mobile’s UMTS web’n'walk network.

With a dual launch in both Germany and Austria, T-mobile hopes to capture the growing business market as well as offering a competitive alternative to the iPhone 3G for users who want the high-end multimedia features but need the physical keyboard.  With a handful of celebrities in the US already using the BlackBerry Bold 9000 Series, At&t customers in the US will be the next to get their hands on this amazing device.

The BlackBerry Bold is the most advanced and performance-driven BlackBerry smartphone in our portfolio. We are also delighted to say that because of the long time partnership with RIM, the handset is very well optimised for T-Mobile Germany’s network and services,” says Dr. Frank Wermeyer, Director Business Marketing, T-Mobile Germany. “With HSDPA and EDGE technology, users can experience a fast and comfortable way of accessing the Internet and intranets through our high-speed network,” he continued.
