Yep,

Blackberry have been in australia now for nearly a year, sold by Telstra.

They're great in a corporate environment.  Integrates nicely with Outlook.

Of dubious value in a domestic setting.

Telstra have been selling them for over a year.

Had one on trial for about a month (when Telstra were trying to flog it to
my work). It was basically a pain in the arse. Uncomfortable to use as a
phone, shitty keyboard (too small), no stylus input, limited 3rd party
applications (though with their JVM that shouldn't be a problem for too
long). Ugly lokking thing too (bright blue) and very flimsy in its
construction.
I don't know what other devices they make, so these might have just been
shortcomings of the model I trialled.

Just make sure if you get one you don't bother tying it in to Telstras
Blackberry server solution. It costs a fortune every month and doesn't
really give you anything that the standard SMTP/POP3 integration doesn't
give you.

Personally, if I was after something like that I'd be looking at the new O2
XPhone, which is much more like a standard phone than their previous
offerings and uses the new version of Windows Smartphone 2003.
