The launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in Indonesia last November nearly caused a riot

BlackBerry fever remains high in India, and RIM has decided to put supply where demand is by opening a third BlackBerry Store in the country. The store offers the entire BlackBerry product portfolio. In attendance at the opening were a couple of south Indian movie stars, Ms. Sumalatha Ambarish and Ms. Ruby Parihar. The store will be open for business seven days a week and RIM plans on opening more such locations in "key metro cities" in India.

Recently, the manufacturer was named the coolest overall brand of 2012, coolest cell phone and coolest hi-tech gadget in South Africa. Last November, a near riot broke out when the BlackBerry Bold 9790 was launched in Jakarta, Indonesia and the first 1,000 people online received a 50% discount. If RIM could only bottle what it is that makes the Canadian manufacturer such a hit in certain areas and put it in the water supply around the world.
