Anybody who has been a long time international GSM device lover has heard of eXpansys. They manage to get their hands on the latest devices unlocked and sell them at a markup.
Raffy just sent me a link to TrustedReviews where Gordon Kelly spotted the new BlackBerry 9500 Thunder available for preorder on the eXpansys website. eXpansys also happens to have the BlackBerry Bold on preorder.
There is no price available yet and no word when they will get the device but they do have a gorgeous up close screenshot of the UI that I hope is real. it could easily be a mockup since I have a terrible eye for that kind of thing. It has been quite awhile since I shopped at eXpansys so I don’t know if they post these preorders just for fun but who knows…
They also claim that the device is Quad-Band GSM capable of running on the 850/900/1800/1900Mhz bands. That is contrary to what we have been hearing until now that it would only support international GSM standards.
As always take this rumor with a huge grain of salt. Or you could just be blinded by the pretty screenshot like me…
