Cool. any updates on provider availability plans for Germany? (especially Vodafone)

das sieht ja ausgesprochen gut aus. Weisst Du schon, wann Vodafone das in D bringt? Konnte nichts auf der Website finden...

T-Mobile hat ihn schon. Vodafone habe ich angefragt.

*neid*

Halt uns bitte am Laufenden über deine "Tests" ...

Ich warte nun schon seit zwei Monaten auf das Gerät, hab es quasi "pre-ordered" aber mein Anbieter die Mobilkom Austria hat ihn noch nicht im Angebot ;-(

Looks good Volker, any idea when it's gonna ship to us mere mortals?

It will be available at Vodafone Germany till the end of august (as the woman from the Vodafone business line told me).

Thomas, Test folgt in c't 19/2008.

Stuart, it's available as of today at T-Mobile Germany. I guess this month for all major carriers.

I spoke to Vodafone UK about this yesterday - their current release date is 1st September. Hopefully my 8310 will last until then!

Thanks, Thomas. I know TwitterBerry. Was hoping for something better.

Amazing device. Try to watch youtube! I also tested one a week ago but crashed it after I run an enterprise activation and a fully unloaded the battery.
How did you do the screen shots?

Connect to a Windows machine. Open cmd.exe. Run this:

c:\path\to\javaloader.exe -usb screenshot filename.bmp

Were you running 4.6.0.112?

Sorry I cannot find any "javaloader.exe" on my Windows machine. Does this come with the installation of the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
I don't know about the release of the Bold sorry (It failed before I could start any documented tests).
