As of right now, the phone isn’t available, but it will be tomorrow. Well, maybe it is, considering today is tomorrow over there (we’re only kind of joking about this). In any event, it has all the same features we’ve talked about before: full QWERTY SureType keyboard, 3G capabilities, and it’s the smallest full-featured BlackBerry device from the company based in Waterloo so far.

You also get integrated WiFi b/g/n, GPS, and a 3.2MP camera on the back. You can pick it up for free if you choose the $59 Cap Plan, and a new two-year contract (which puts the minimum cost of the plan at $1,416 as Telstra is so nice to point out). Or, if you’re down for spending pretty much half the cost, you can buy it out-right for $679. Full press release down below.

HSPA+ is also known as HSPA Evolution or Evolved HSPA (eHSPA). In addition to significantly increasing data speeds, the standard reduces latency, boosts network capacity, and provides an enhanced user experience. Telstra recently confirmed it is on track to begin rolling out the new technology to the Next G wireless network by the end of this year.

“HSPA+ technology will provide a remarkable improvement in how people experience mobile broadband, and once again opens the door for new, higher bandwidth applications,” said Jim Kirkpatrick, Chief Technology Officer for Sierra Wireless. “Telstra has shown tremendous industry leadership in delivering leading mobile broadband technology first in the world, and we are thrilled to work with other key industry leaders like Qualcomm and Ericsson to support this initiative.”

Mike Wright, Executive Director Telstra Wireless, attended the world’s first live demonstration of the eHSPA interoperability at Ericsson headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. “This is truly game-changing. Telstra has a proven history of investment in Australia’s nation-wide, HSPA-enabled Next G network and this is our latest, very important step toward realising this technology,” Mr Wright said. “Practically speaking, our tests have shown that when combined with our planned rollout of Ethernet backhaul, this network will deliver truly high-speed connectivity on the move.”

Telstra’s Next G wireless network, which was turned on October 6, 2006, is covering 99 per cent of the Australian population. eHSPA, also known as HSPA Evolution or HSPA+, is designed to enhance the mobile broadband user experience and enable a wide range of services. The interoperability test was performed on a wireless infrastructure network solution from Ericsson using Qualcomm’s MDM8200 product.

“The peak speeds and network efficiency enabled by this evolution will encourage the development of more innovative applications and, importantly, increase our network capacity to support the explosion we are experiencing in wireless internet use,” added Mr Wright.

Telstra Product Management, Executive Director, Mr Ross Fielding, said the Turbo 7+ Series USB Modem offers 3G HSPA mobile broadband connectivity and easy-to-use features in a stylish and compact USB device.

“Other user-friendly features include a microSD expansion slot to provide easy data transfer and storage on-the-go, a 1GB microSD card, and an external antenna which we recommend our customers use to optimise the performance of the Next Gnetwork,” Mr Fielding said.

The Telstra Turbo 7+ Series USB Modem has a recommended retail price of $439 and is available on a range of plans from $149 on a $59 per month plan.

“Telstra will be offering the new BlackBerry Bold smartphone for $0 upfront to business customers from late September and customers can register their interest from today via our website or by calling 1800BUSINESS.” Ms Shiff said.
