The BlackBerry Solution has now been unleashed on Vietnam thanks to Viettel, a leading mobile operator in Vietnam, Alcatel-Lucent and Research in Motion (RIM). At launch, Viettel will offer its customers the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and the BlackBerry 8700 and the BlackBerry Curve 8320 smartphones as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server for corporate customers and BlackBerry® Internet Service for smaller businesses and individual users. While we don’t expect to see the BlackBerry Storm or BlackBerry Bold gracing Viettel anytime soon, the addition of BlackBerry Enterprise Servers is a huge step for the carrier and ultimately the entire business market. We’re not exactly sure what life was like back before the days of push email and advanced encryption, but it is nice to see Vietnam catching up to the trend. [RIM]
