Chile gets to launch the Bold first?!


Boy was I shocked when I read this article on crackberry.com but pleasantly shocked nevertheless.

It just goes to show that even lesser known carriers can beat the big boys to the finish line; funnier things have been known to happen right?

Expect Bold to be launched on Celcom in September and rumor has it on Maxis in October. I can't confirm the Maxis part so if anyone has any inside scoop, please post a comment.

I do know that you won't be disappointed; you have to see the screen to believe it. Seriously! It still takes my breath away every time I look at it. Awesome! Add that to the complete range of Bold accessories that will be available to you all not too far in the future (I hope), I can honestly say, I see good things happening for Celcom BlackBerry aficionados (Malaysian BlackBerry users in general t00) in Malaysia. And about time too!

Maxis has launched its pre-order Bold yesterday and this is really good I must say. I don't think Maxis will easily let Celcom lead the way of which Maxis had ventured earlier. Available in September so as to coincide with its Mobile Portability Number (a kind bird gave me this tip and I believed it is reliable) - MPN - the long-awaited feature announced by MCMC some time ago. This must be a double-joy ;)

That is possible. I was told that MNP has been delayed till after Raya (October) though. But regardless, it is good to see MNP finally being implemented. I was involved in the steering committee for number portability over 10 years ago when the regulatory body was still called JTM! Good to see that it's finally being rolled out
