Canada's BlackBerry maker Research in Motion (RIM) Thursday launched its touch and type smartphone -- BlackBerry Bold 9900 with BlackBerry 7 operating system -- in India.
"The smartphone is built on a new performance driven platform powered by the latest BlackBerry software and hardware," said the company in a statement.
"In addition to supporting the new BlackBerry 7 operating system, the phone features a range of powerful hardware enhancements, including HD (hi-definition) video recording and advanced sensors enabling new augmented reality applications such as Wikitude that can be integrated with BlackBerry messenger 6," it added.
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone yet at only 10.5 mm.
BlackBerry 7 introduces a next generation BlackBerry browser with a significantly faster, more fluid web browsing experience with enhancements including optimized zooming and panning for smoother web navigation, the statement said.
