Received a press release from RIM announcing that they’ve sold 70,000,000 BlackBerry Smartphones already. That’s… a lot. ^^; Anyway, to celebrate this milestone they also released a promotional video with some inspirational stories. Check it out below.
Congratulations RIM!
We were under the impression that Globe pulled one over SMART again since they were the first to announce they were going to offer the BlackBerry Bold 9900 (we thought it was another exclusive deal). However it looks like SMART will be coming out with an announcement of their postpaid and prepaid options for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 soon. We found this e-poster on the JUMP Experience Facebook Page.
SMART Telecom sent out a press release saying that smartphone and mobile broadband usage in their network is growing at an unprecedented pace. The report says that the usage of broadband via smartphones doubled this August from just February earlier this year! BlackBerry devices top the list of smartphones used to access mobile broadband with 44% share. Android follows at 27%.
Full press release after the break. Continue reading
Globe just posted a limited offer for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 on their website. Starting today until October 7 you can pre-order it and the phone comes for “free” under Plan 3799 with Unlisurf combo. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 was recently launched in the Philippines and the prepaid kit should cost Php31,690. Before jumping into this deal though make sure your monthly consumption is enough to justify the Php3,799 monthly subscription fee. That’s a 24-month (2 year contract) that you won’t be able to get out of easily.
You can also get the BlackBerry Bold 9900 for just Php6,300 under Plan 2499. That makes more sense for me. Click here to go to the Globe microsite so you can already sign-up online and reserve. 
Will keep you guys posted once SMART announces their package for this great new phone from RIM.
