It appears the Research In Motion BlackBerry Bold smartphone is well liked over in Australia, as Australia’s Telstra award the BlackBerry Bold the coveted Blue Tick certification.

Apparently the Blue Tick award was given for the BlackBerry Bold’s awesome reception. Country wide group manager for Telstra, Brett Riley has said that existing BlackBerry Bold handset can upgrade software as of today and new customers can buy Blue Tick enabled devices as of August.

Telstra’s Blue Tick recommends mobile phone for use in Metro, rural and regional areas. Telstra worked with Research In Motion to develop the software that will boost the BlackBerry Bold’s performance and coverage.
