MTS has announced that the company will soon be introducing BlackBerry 7 smartphones for its customers. These new phones include BlackBerry Torch 9810 and BlackBerry Bold 9900 phones, the company has stated.
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 builds on the popular BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphones, and is faster and more fluid with high performance hardware and features the new BlackBerry 7 OS. It thus offers an enhanced multimedia experience. To allow for faster typing, it also features a large 3.2 inch high resolution touch display and a distinctive BlackBerry keyboard that easily slides out, the company stated in a press release.
“Since we launched our 4G network in March, MTS has seen increasing demand for smartphones and we are pleased to make available to our customers throughout Manitoba the latest BlackBerry devices," said Stan Kurtas, Vice President, Marketing, MTS. "We are always working to bring our customers the latest in technology and the BlackBerry Torch 9810 and BlackBerry Bold 9900 are both high performing smartphones built on the new performance driven platform - BlackBerry 7 OS.”
The first to offer the perfect union of a high performance keyboard and touch display integrated within the iconic BlackBerry Bold design, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone at only 10.5 mm. Enabling many new and exciting capabilities, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 also includes built-in support for NFC (Near Field Communications), a new technology that provides the ability to pair accessories or read SmartPoster tags with a simple tap.
Recently, the company announced that it will unveil its new HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access) wireless network on March 31, 2011. This network will deliver cellular voice and high-speed wireless data coverage of up to 21 Mbps to 97 percent of Manitobans. Designing this network was expensive and according to a release, MTS has poured about $100 million in this project.
