Being one of the country with highest Blackberry adoption growth rate, Indonesia is rewarded with availability of newly released Blackberry Curve 3G as early as September. Indonesia is the third country after Canada and US to have the privilege of Blackberry Curve 3G earlier than other countries. The smartphone is available from telco such as Indosat and comes with data bundled.

Blackberry Curve 3G is the successor of Blackberry entry level smartphone, Blackberry Curve 8520/8530 . Bothsmartphone has physically almost similar looks with different is only on the EDGE VS 3G connection. The introduction of 3G connection on the entry level Blackberry smartphone is timely action to fend of competition from rival who eying RIM’s market share. It surely boost the Blackberry smartphone popularity among the lower income group and students who prefer smartphone compared to regular mobile phone.

All Blackberry Curve and Storm Smartphones Not Upgradeable To Blackberry 6

blackberry 6 logo 450x251 All Blackberry Curve and Storm Smartphones Not Upgradeable To Blackberry 6

I know many will regret buying Blackberry smartphone now, except for model such as Bold 9700 and Bold 9650. The reason is very obvious, all Blackberry model except stated below is totally not compatible with Blackberry 6, the latest OS unveiled today. Yes, not even part of it. Zero! I for one, asking only for the new browser that support webkit for my Blackberry 8520, yes that’s one, but I know now that is impossible.

Probably, it is time to say good bye. Well, I know Storm 2 users even more frustrated because their phone is more expensive and newer.. The incompatibility is due to that, all these devices are having lower than 512 RAM, which I think is not really helpful for us to understand what’s the issue is. At least, give us part of the upgrade, if not all, at least we’re not feeling sidelined by RIM!
“Compatibility with Existing BlackBerry Smartphones
BlackBerry 6 will debut on the new BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone (announced today) available from AT&T on August 12 and it is also designed to run on select BlackBerry smartphones already in market. Subject to carrier certifications in the months ahead, the new OS is expected to be available for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650 and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G, as well as future BlackBerry smartphones.”
