A center point in recent international news - India that is, for a reason. BOLT was just upgraded with support for Indic languages, that super cool BlackBerry India commercial was aired not long ago and despite some complexities lately, India is rolling well. And now, the mobile Indian population gets to taste the latest magic from RIM: the BlackBerry Bold 9780.
With twice the memory and a higher quality camera over its predecessor, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 will likely please BlackBerry loving India. As in the TV commercial, the picture takers and movie makers are sure to appreciate the latter addition and the memory advantage is there to speed things up in general, so the young and the restless get more done in less time. After all, "It's our time. Now."
All excited about the BlackBerry Bold 9780 in India is RIM's gorgeous Frenny Bawa, Managing Director in India: "BlackBerry smartphones are very well received in India and we are pleased to be working with our partners to launch the new BlackBerry Bold 9780 in the Indian market." Yes, this very lady gave Nokia a verbal smackdown back when the BlackBerry Curve 8520 was launched in India as well!
But, the ultimate question still remains unanswered: price. Luckily, Mahesh Telecom has Tweeted that the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is available for Rs. 26,900 (approx. 590 USD). So, any CrackBerry readers from India planning to get their hands on the new Bold? Be heard in the comments!
