In a significant move, Research In Motion (RIM) has decided to come up with the 'unlocked' versions of its signature handset BlackBerry in the Indian market, which will enable the currently network-restricted (Airtel, Reliance Communications, and Vodafone) BlackBerry to function on the network of any telecom service provider.

Targeted at business and consumer markets, the newly launched device would be available in India from 15 January 2009.

The users are allowed to type and dial easily in the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphone and the external display of smartphone provides previewing calendar reminders, email, text messages and phone calls.

Since India is being considered as the fastest-growing wireless market, the maker of BlackBerry devices, Research In Motion (RIM), which is based in Canada, is thinking to sell unbundled handsets through retail chains and some exclusive stores in India.

According to the sources, “The company is on fast track to roll out a few own outlets and sell its devices through other mobile stores. This is in addition to the operators with whom it has tied up in India.”
