Well that BlackBerry Curve 8980 we’ve been hearing about throughout all last year has finally launched in China for the China Mobile carrier today.  At the beginning of the leaks, everyone was wondering why a new Curve was hitting the streets with no 3G connectivity, but it was later known to be a Curve specified for China’s standards.

On a side not, a BlackBerry Bold 9788 will be launching, which is RIM’s first TD-SCDMA device.  It will be very much like the BlackBerry Bold 9780 we have today (assuming so) but with the specific 3G technology that currently exists in China.  It will not work on other 3G networks, so the Bold 9788 is a specific cater to the country.  The image above is what the Bold 9788 looks like, so you see it’s hasn’t received a facelift at all.
