New Delhi: BlackBerry has launched its new social BlackBerry 9720 smartphone in India, priced at Rs 15,990.
The BlackBerry 9720 comes with a spacious BlackBerry keyboard with keys for optimal typing, a 2.8'' touchscreen and trackpad for easy navigation. It sports a dedicated BBM shortcut key on the side and the Multicast feature which allows you to share a message from BBM across multiple networks including Twitter and Facebook.
The device runs on BlackBerry 7.1 OS, which allows users to unlock the phone through swipe and access the camera from the lock screen, as well as additional enhancements.
Like the previous top-tier Bold and Curve phones, the 9720 sports a touchscreen (480 x 360p; 214ppi) on the upper body which measures 2.8 inches wide.
The latest version of BBM, which features BBM Channels, will also soon be available for download on the BlackBerry World storefront, said the company.
The smartphone also integrates BlackBerry Balance technology, which separates work from personal content on the smartphone, supporting the needs of the enterprise and the BYOD customer.
The BlackBerry 9720 smartphone is expected to be available from authorised retailers in India from September 14.
