Vodafone Egypt and Research In Motion (RIM) introduced a portfolio of high-performance GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones in Egypt, including the BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Curve 8900, and BlackBerry Bold.

Vodafone was the first operator to launch the BlackBerry solution in Egypt in 2004. Launching the new range of GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones for enterprise and individual users further underscores Vodafone's commitment to maintain a leadership position within the Egyptian market, delivering state-of-the-art products and services to customers.

BlackBerry smartphones provide customers with easy wireless access to email, phone, organiser, web, multimedia and a wide range of other business and lifestyle applications. Through the new GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones from Vodafone, users gain incredible functionality and can enjoy the many benefits of location-based applications in the palm of their hands.

Honoured with the GSMA’s Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough award at Mobile World Congress 2009, the BlackBerry Storm smartphone features the world’s first clickable touch-screen. The screen depresses ever so slightly when pressed, dramatically enhancing the touch interface for both typing and navigation. 

Purpose built for Vodafone and its partners, the BlackBerry Storm smartphone offers a large and stunning display together with a first class phone and the industry’s leading email and messaging capabilities, as well as many other powerful features including 3G (HSPA) network support, desktop-style web pages, advanced multimedia capabilities, 3.2 megapixel camera and built-in GPS – all designed to give users an exceptional  mobile experience.

Sporting an extremely sleek style, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone incorporates a full-QWERTY keyboard and an intuitive trackball that allow easy typing and navigation.   Its 3.2 megapixel camera takes sharp, print-quality pictures and features auto focus, digital zoom, flash and video recording*. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 has an expansive feature set that keeps users easily connected to family, friends and colleagues. It also offers global connectivity support, Wi-Fi, GPS, a next generation 512MHz processor and a stunning hi-resolution display.

The BlackBerry Bold smartphone supports tri-band HSDPA high-speed networks around the world and also comes with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi, as well as a rich set of multimedia capabilities. Featuring a lustrous black exterior, satin chrome finished frame and stylish leatherette back plate, the BlackBerry Bold is a symbol of accomplishment and aspiration.  The smartphone's stunning display, sophisticated user interface and newly designed full-QWERTY keyboard make the BlackBerry Bold smartphone a ‘must have’ for power users and business professionals alike.

Supported on Vodafone’s fast and reliable network, these three BlackBerry smartphones enable users to make the most of their time and do more with great ease and efficiency.
