Digicel launches three new BlackBerrys

TELECOMMUNICATIONS GIANT Digicel yesterday announced that it has launched three new BlackBerry smartphones: the BlackBerry Bold 9900, BlackBerry Torch 9860 and BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphones, which will be available to customers from Digicel across the Caribbean this month.

According to Digicel, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone yet at only 10.5mm, and the first to offer the perfect union of a high- performance keyboard and touch display integrated within the iconic BlackBerry Bold design. The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 is also the first BlackBerry smartphone to include built-in support for NFC (Near Field Communications), a new technology that is enabling many new and exciting capabilities, including the ability to pair with NFC-enabled accessories or read SmartPoster tags with a simple tap of the smartphone.

Beautiful design

Distinguished by its beautiful design, amazingly effective keyboard and brilliant touch display, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is crafted with premium materials, including a brushed stainless steel frame that puts the finishing touch on a truly outstanding smartphone.

The Blackberry Torch 9860 features the new BlackBerry 7 operating system and a stylish new all-touch handset design.

The new BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphone builds on the popularity of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and combines a large touch display with a convenient slide-out keyboard. The new BlackBerry Torch 9810 is faster and more fluid with high-performance hardware features.

Digicel Group Commercial Director Brian Finn said: "Digicel is always looking to bring the very latest and best smartphones to our customers across the Caribbean. We are very excited about the launch of these three new BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion which offer our customers better performance with a range of new features and apps in a variety of exciting designs to choose from."
