Hours ago, we’ve seen the official announcements of T-Mobile and RIM regarding the launch of BlackBerry Bold 9900. It is the first in a new series of devices from Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion that would arrive on shelves with the company’s new BlackBerry 7 OS on board, which brings Augmented Reality, upgraded BlackBerry Browser, voice-activated search, BlackBerry Balance, and more features.
Now the Canada based Virgin Mobile has also announced on its Twitter feed that it will launch the BlackBerry Bold 9900 handset some time in the near future.
