RIM’s BlackBerry going to Russia in 2008Now that you know an unlocked version of the iPhone will go to India you will be just as surprised to know that the Russian agencies agreed to allow RIM’s BlackBerry to be sold in their country for one year, starting from 2008 by the biggest carriers in Russia, MTS and Vimpelcom.

Russia is following other communist countries like China or Ukraine (where MTS already sold it from October ‘07)  in an attempt to save the apparency that they are a democratic country, but it’s still good to see them coming along.

When the certification tests pass, Vimpelcom is prepared to sell 1,050 BlackBerry 8700 right away. Another nation is about to get “virused” with this smartphone and my honest opinion is the 1-year agreement will get extended asap.
