Back in August, the BlackBerry Bold 9650 was seen making an appearance in the U.S holding hands with the U.S Cellular. Although it has been two months, but the Bold has made its way to the Indian shores. Yes, BlackBerry boys can now rejoice as Tata Indicom has pulled in this Bold family member for its CDMA subscribers. This CDMA-GSM 3G-ready smartphone adorns a QWERTY keypad and an optical trackpad for quick and fun navigation.
Sunil Batra, President of CDMA Operations at Tata Teleservices Limited, commented, “As the youngest dual-technology telecom service provider in India, the addition of a Smartphone like the BlackBerry Bold 9650 to our portfolio of products and services from Research In Motion is an important step in strengthening our offerings to consumers. Our pan-India reach, supported by the traditionally strong speeds on TTL’s cutting-edge CDMA network, will provide users with an exceptional voice and data communication experience, enhanced by the ability to share and experience multimedia, chat and social networking on the go.”
The BlackBerry Bold 9650 Smartphone delivers premium phone and multimedia features, together with global roaming support and the industry’s leading mobile solution for e-mail, messaging and social networking,” asserted Frenny Bawa, Managing Director-India, Research In Motion. “We’re pleased to work with Tata Indicom to bring this powerful new smartphone to their customers in India.”
Fashioning 512MB of flash memory, this handset touts to offer seamless global roaming coupled with augmented Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities. The Bluetooth 2.1 enabled Bold 9650 flaunts a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, image stabilization and video recording abilities. What’s more, the carrier includes a special data usage offer for those customers who purchase it in the month of October.
For the initial two months, a 500MB of tethered modem data usage per month along with a free data pack worth Rs.900 per month comes as a part of the offer. Users, who are still looking for more can access Tata’s Photon TV through Photon +. The pricing and availability details are undisclosed.
