As you already know, BlackBerry is a pretty big deal in Indonesia.  We got to see some proof in videos posted recently which showed citizens of the region camping outside the store for a new BlackBerry smartphone.  In this clip we get to see a quick tour of Indonesia’s first BlackBerry Lifestyle store, which apparently is going to branch out as RIM opens multiple locations in the region.

Here’s a video recap of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 launch event in Indonesia which took place on November 15.  You’ll notice Jim Balsillie speaking a bit about the device on stage and a performance from some music artists (you might not know).  It’s a tough cookie now when it comes to picking up a new Bold.  Surely the Bold 9900 is far more powerful than the Bold 9790, but the form factor of the new 9790 may be favored since that’s what Berry users have been acquainted with over the years.  Which device is for you?

This was a pretty cool video watch, mainly because RIM got this interesting looking bus for their BlackBerry PlayBook tour in Indonesia.  Other than that, it’s the same as usual.  Demonstrations with the PlayBook including games (yes, Need for Speed), HDMI output, multitasking, and more.  With the huge BlackBerry community in Indonesia, the PlayBook should be a rather exciting addition there.

The BlackBerry PlayBook made its big debut in the US and Canada, and ever since then we’ve been seeing RIM put it out on world tour where countries all over are starting to pick it up.  RIM officially announced yesterday that it would be available on July 16th in Indonesia.  No pricing is available yet, but we know all three flavors (16GB, 32GB, and 64GB) will be available throughout the country.  Hit the jump for the full press release from RIM.

Here’s another BBM Hero video from Indonesia showing off a group of cyclists Fixed and Furious.  In this video they discuss how they need BlackBerry Messenger to communicate and share thoughts, ideas, and images of course.  They use a BBM group to share all of that and coordinate where and when they’ll be riding.  The picture feature was once only used to show off their bikes and such but later it became a way for members of the group to show bike parts they want to sell or are looking for within the community.  Watch the clip and see how these guys love their BBM fix!
