BlackBerry to arrive in China

Since Apple has already made a crack at the cellphone market in China with the iPhone, RIM certainly can’t let one of their rivals get away with pulling ahead ever further, and hence will enter China as well with their line of BlackBerry smartphones. Their market entry strategy will take on the strategic partnership with Beijing-based IT service provider Digital China, who co-incidentally is the largest in the country. The first customized BlackBerry model will roll out sometime early next year, where one can presume it to come gimped in certain aspects just like the iPhone.
