(Unofficial) BlackBerry Storm in Indonesia: US$ 1300!
Yes, we know that BlackBerry Storm is not officially being available in Indonesia, although you may have read that Citibank Indonesia has already been offering it. That’s why when I found a store of T3 Gadget Island offering this Verizon Wireless phone, I am not surprise that the price will be expensive. But why this expensive? The store is offering BlackBerry Storm 9530 with dual capabilities (GSM and CDMA EVDO Rev A) for US$ 1300! Limited (probably only one to be offered) and super expensive.
It is definitely way too overprice since according to Verizon Wireless’ onlin store, the phone itself only cost US$ 199 for 2 years of plan. For those who have plenty of money and currently residing in Indonesia, you can heading to T3 Gadget Island in FX Sudirman. For more information about BlackBerry Storm features, please take a look at this page. You may also find out the difference between Storm and Bold.
Previously, I caught T3 Gadget Island offered some Japanese phones for US$ 1000.
