BlackBerry Bold 9780 Hits Australia

Who would have thought that anyone would be launching a new phone five days out from Christmas? But that’s exactly what RIM are doing, unleashing the almighty BlackBerry Bold 9780 today.

Sadly, it’s only the standard model that we’ll be seeing in Australia, not one of those limited edition numbers released in the UK last month. While it should be available across carriers, Vodafone has it for $0 up front on their $85 Infinite plan. Given the 5MP camera, OS6.0, plus webkit browser and 512MB RAM, it’s probably the best BlackBerry you can get at the moment…
