Great news for the travelling BlackBerry user yesterday came in the form of an announcement from Truphone that Truphone is beta-testing software for the BlackBerry. Users of Nokia devices and the Apple iPhone have had Truphone for some time, and are already accustomed to Truphone’s low low international calling rates. Best of all, early reports from users like Om Malik suggest that audio quality on the Truphone VoIP network might even be better than the cellular network. That’s gotta give the folks at T-Mobile some heartache.
Now if only James Body and the gang could do something about the egregious roaming data rates carriers charge BlackBerry users.
