BlackBerry Cool has quite a worldly flavor to it right now, writing these international BlackBerry Bold announcements while in San Francisco. Our friends at BB.COM.DO have tipped us off that Claro has announced the release of the BlackBerry Bold for the Dominican Republic, although no pricing information has been made available yet.
… So, this is maybe the 13th Bold announcement post I’ve done in the past 10 days. There’s really nothing more to say. The only country that doesn’t have the BlackBerry Bold by now is the Federated States of Micronesia — oh wait, and the United States of America. Zing!

It’s been confirmed that Brazilian carrier Claro is now offering the BlackBerry Bold in all of its 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, crystal-clear-screeny goodness, although it’s apparently not showing up in their online store. We had heard of Claro bringing the BlackBerry 9000 to Chile around this timeframe, so maybe some Chileans out there can let us know if they got it too. Head on over to Claro’s site to find the retailer closest to you and see if they have it in stock.
Thanks Luciano!

Our few Chilean readers will be happy to hear that Movistar and Claro both have the BlackBerry Bold on the way sometime in August. There’s no word on pricing for the BlackBerry 9000, but right now the best guesses are hovering around the $US 300 mark. We’re still holding out breath for a BlackBerry 9000 release up here in Canada, but only time will tell if Chile and the rest of the world end up getting it before us.

It was announced today that Claro, TIM and Vivo will be offering the BlackBerry 8310 to Brazilians immediately, and widespread release through Latin America will be happening come November. The BlackBerry 8310 is packing the Curve’s form-factor and standard features (3.5mm headphone jack, trackball, camera, microSD slot) plus GPS capability. No word on price, but if anyone knows Portugese and can dig up a number from the carriers’ sites, we’d be much obliged.
