Blackberry Goes Global

Tweet

If you're one of those Blackberry users that gets twitchy everytime you take a meeting abroad and lose service, well good news for you. Your twitching days will soon be over.

Research in Motion unveiled today it's new Blackberry World Edition that promises to work in about 60 countries and on every continent, except Anartica (there's a penguin joke in here somewhere, but I'll resist the temptation).

The new one-worlder smartphone will be available for sale sometime next month. In the meantime, you'll have to settle for the picture. Here's a 360 degree view from the corporate site, complete with ambient music that sounds like the beginning of a Jerry Bruckheimer movie. Perhaps the marketing department went a little nuts on that.
