China Gets the BlackBerry Curve 8980 – 9788 Coming Soon

BlackBerry-9788 8980 BlackBerry China

There is nothing really mind blowing in this update but it looks like RIM is finally trying to penetrate the Chinese market. They have just launched the BlackBerry Curve 8980 on China Mobile. This device is an update to the BlackBerry Curve 8910 they launched earlier but adds Wi-Fi. Other than that it is the same device which you can check out on the BlackBerry China page.

RIM is also working on a BlackBerry 9788 for the Chinese market that will finally bring 3G to Chinese BlackBerrys. China has their own TD-SCDMA network so this new 9788 had to be reworked to run on that network. Other than that it will be almost exactly the same as current 9780’s with the OS 6.0 love and 512MB of RAM.
