RIM Introduces the New BlackBerry Curve 3G Smartphone in Thailand

New addition to the globally popular BlackBerry Curve series is fast, easy-to-use, richly-featured and BlackBerry 6 ready
Research In Motion (RIM) announced the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 3G, an exciting addition to the popular BlackBerry Curve series of smartphones. Designed to provide the growing mass of smartphone purchasers with a distinctly powerful, approachable and affordable choice, the BlackBerry Curve 3G supports high-speed 3G (HSDPA) networks around the world and gives users the exceptional communications features they need to accomplish more than ever, when they're at home, at work and everywhere in-between.

"The BlackBerry Curve 3G is both an accessible and feature-rich smartphone which will be popular with customers in Thailand who highly value communications and productivity tools that help them get ahead of their day. With the ability to connect to Wi-Fi and the 3G networks that are planned to roll-out in Thailand, users can communicate and access information quickly and easily, and thanks to built-in GPS they can even share their location on BBM and social networking sites," said Gregory Wade, Managing Director, South East Asia, RIM.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G smartphone features a comfortable full-QWERTY keyboard for fast, accurate typing, optical trackpad for fluid navigation, as well as dedicated media keys, so music lovers can easily access their tunes while on the go. In addition to built-in GPS and Wi-Fi®, the new smartphone also features a camera that can record video and a microSD/SDHC slot that supports up to 32 GB memory cards for media storage. Support for 3G networks makes browsing faster, streaming music smoother, and gives users the ability to talk on the phone while they browse the web or instant message with BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™).

The BlackBerry Curve 3G ships with BlackBerry® 5 and is BlackBerry® 6 ready. BlackBerry 6 is a new operating system for BlackBerry® smartphones that retains the trusted features that distinguish the BlackBerry brand while delivering a fresh and engaging experience that is both powerful and easy to use. BlackBerry 6 is expected to be available for the BlackBerry Curve 3G, subject to carrier certifications, in the coming months.

The new BlackBerry Curve 3G smartphone (model 9300) is expected to be available in Thailand in September.
