The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is set for to launch in March 2011 in South Africa. As for pricing, Cell C recently told MyBroadband that South Africans can expect the new BlackBerry Bold 9780 in March for a retail price between R4,999 and R5,299.
“It is clearly evident that other countries always have the release of devices first with South Africa always lagging,” CaCell said. “Our client base are high-end technologically advanced clients who want the device ‘NOW’; the moment it is released abroad and not 6-12 months later when it is obsolete.”
