Finally At&t Get’s Ready for Bold
June 1st, 2009 | by admin |Dam Smith asked:
The Bold has been launched successfully in Canada in August itself and has also been launched in countries in Europe and Asia. The announcement regarding the U.S launch was made by RIM’s co-CEO Jim Balsillie.
The delay in the launch in the U.S of the BlackBerry Bold could be due to the testing of the device with the carrier.
However this delay has caused increased pressure on the RIM shares which was at a high in June and which went down since then. The shares have just shown a revival last week.
The BlackBerry Bold is a major product upgrade for RIM. Last week the company launched its first fold-up or flip-phone named the BlackBerry Pearl Flip and also a push-to-talk version of its BlackBerry Curve.
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip is expected to be a grand success owing to its flip phone design which is not available in many smartphones. In spite of the flip design, Pearl Flip’s design allows for the requisite number of keys in a smartphone besides providing two high-resolution screens.
There is more in store for BlackBerry admirers in the form of a touch-screen version which the company is working on at present. This will reach markets later this year. RIM is going through a “concentrated product launch” period, catering to the strong demand felt for smartphone devices.
RIM will be promoting its BlackBerry device highlighting a more media centric design than as a device suited for only corporate messaging capabilities which made the BlackBerry a popular business tool earlier.
BlackBerry’s latest offerings will be sweet music to users. RIM announced partnerships with social networking site MySpace and Ticketmaster besides announcing an agreement with Internet radio provider Slacker Inc.
This includes Slacker music service which allows users to personalize their tunes. The agreement with TiVo will allow users to manage television recordings while traveling. Users can also create MySpace Mobile service thanks to its pact with MySpace.
Looks like BlackBerry is aiming at offering more services to catch up with the demands of consumers besides beating the endemic competition in the industry.
