It’s time to sum up all the Research In Motion’s (RIM) activities around the world from the beginning of the year. Between January 1st and today, the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) maker has announced the launch of its devices and solutions in Bangladesh, Ghana, Madagascar, Qatar, Spain, Romania and Sweden.
First, along with MTN, they’ve launched BlackBerry Solution in Ghana. Then just a day later along with Telma and Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU), the same product was announced in Madagascar. Next on the list was Qater where RIM have partnered with Qtel.
Finally, during the last three days, RIM announced their devices are heading to Europe: BlackBerry Pearl 8110 to Spain (via Vodafone (NYSE: VOD)), BlackBerry Curve 8320 to Romania (via Orange), and BlackBerry 8707g to Sweden (via 3)…
Blackberries are on Romanian Vodafone and Orange subscriptions by 2 years! More careful editing Dusan please.
I haven’t said that BlackBerrys are NOT available in Romania. I just said Romania’s Orange added a particular model (BlackBerry Curve 8320) in its offering.
